Does this ranking partially reflect your assessment of the Team's ability to develop minor leaguers, not just the raw talent?
Does a raw talent/highly projectable pitcher in Org A with an excellent minor league staff might get viewed as more likely to succeed than an equally raw talent/highly projectable arm in Org B with a poor staff?
Any idea what somebody like Beras would get under the new CBA?
Would a team give its entire allotment to one player?
Just seems like lying only really has downside for the player. Even if the Rangers were 90% sure the document they received was false, why not make the deal and just see what happens.
Wouldn't the return for Reyes have to exceed the 1st and Supplemental round draft pick they would receive for offering him arbitration? Otherwise why bother?
no capt. kirk?
"Whoa. Kirk Nieuwenhuis was 2-5 and drilled a tie-breaking grand slam in the sixth inning. That’s now three games in a row with a jack for the CF. In his last six games, Nieuwenhuis is 11-for-23 (.478) with three doubles, a triple, and five homeruns, that’s a 1.348 slugging percentage for those of you keeping score at home. I can’t think of any other Mets hitter who had a week like this all year; it’s absolutely remarkable." - http://www.metsminorleagueblog.com/
how these players survive, salary structure, when do they and when don't they end up paying for room and board, clarification on when minor leaguers become represented by the union, does milb have a similar pension to mlb? that sorts of stuff.
