    Touki optioned to Gwinnett per MLBTR
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    Huge props to AA. Not enough credit given to him for foreseeing both the baseball season delaying so Hamels could start the season fresh and healthy, and not giving the ransom for Thor knowing he'd be close to TJ.

    This is where expanding our analytics department from 2 to 20 has really helped.

    Yeah, you have to wonder how many will ultimately take this road. If they already have a diagnosis of something like "you're close to needing TJ and if you keep pitching you WILL need it...." how many will go ahead and pull the trigger. One reason, certainly not the only, would be that I would expect they definitely would get paid no matter what.

    MLB and MLBPA have agreed on a new Draft structure for this year.

    From MBLTR

    Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have reached an agreement on the framework of a delayed and shortened 2020 amateur draft, ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel reports (Twitter thread). The notable changes would include pushing the draft back from early June to sometime in July, cutting the event to anywhere from five to ten rounds and partially deferring the payment of signing bonuses into the 2022 season.

    Good article on MLBTR this morning about the Angels and the 2009 draft, which was one of the best drafts by a team in recent memory. A small bit from the article states that we were actually going to take Corbin with pick 87, but the Angels got wind of it. He certainly could have changed the trajectory of our rebuild.

    Except that it took Corbin 6 years to establish himself as a front line starter. It's possible he might've still done it for another team since even his minors track record wasn't that great.

    Missed this post. Good information. I expect the draft is going to be shortened to 30 rounds at some point anyway and it will likely coincide with a collapsing this a number of minor league franchises. The pandemic may simply accelerate it. I suppose someone who is more technologically adept (and less lazy) than me could calculate how many post-30th round guys signed and how many became legitimate prospects over the past decade. I know there are a few who look like the could be somebody (Braves' Trey Harris comes to mind), but a lot of those late-round high school longshots that teams take a flyer on could simply be drafted prior to the 30th round. It would push a few more guys into the necessity of signing as non-drafted free agents, but I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

    He was still pretty good prior to 2018, even if he wasn't a front line starter yet.
