Ahh yes my bad Carolina lol.

As strong as our farm system is, Carolina is almost completely barren of talent.

Damn we suck. This team is just a flat out embarrassment.

Ahh, over the last 6 games, he is 1 for 19, with 8 strikeouts and no walks, not to mention his putrid average of .212, OPS of .532 with the glowing WAR of -1.1 for the year. We could eat all his remaining $2.7MM of his contract and still be lucky to get a bag of worn out balls.

I think we will most likely end up picking 3 or 4. The Reds and Twins should finish lower than us, and the Rays may finish worse as well.

But hey, we got Ian Anderson!!

This. Just being in the discussion as one of the best farm systems in baseball, compared to where we were a couple years ago, is very refreshing.

You guys are getting waaaaaay ahead of yourselves. Comparing him to Chapman or Rivera? Hahahaha. He will be lucky to stick in the majors at the tail end of a bullpen.

He is another Capellan. Write him off.

Just my opinion, but I think Davidson, at best, just barely cracks the top 20, if that. He hasn't shown hardly anything yet. And while I like Soroka a lot, I don't see any way he can be ranked ahead of Swanson. And while Acuna has all kinds of potential, he can't stay healthy thus I'd place...

I think Rob Whalen, if not in the 30, has to at least get a mention. His career minor league ERA is a sparkling 2.44, WHIP of 1.102, and is having a strong year in Mississippi this year.

Where might Maitin slot in our system? Top 10?

To add to this, so far this year we have hit 39 homers as a team which is by far dead last in baseball. The next lowest is the Giants with 66. Our team OPS this year is .642, again dead last with the next worst being the Phillies at .671. Last year we only hit 100 homers with an OPS of...

Any word at all on Neslony signing? Ominous that this is continuing to drag on.

I think we are making a mistake if we trade him.

I'd say getting Maitin, the crown jewel, even if we got no one else, is more than enough to puff your chest out.

Where will Maitin be assigned when we sign him? GCL?

Exactly, and our whole draft depends on it. Very bad position to have put ourselves in.

So then why not leave it at that. Simply, we'd love to sign you, and here is the amount we'd like to offer if we can move some money around, but until then, we can't give you a formal offer. Instead, they went ahead and made the offer before they knew if they really could.

Yes we are, and as others have aptly pointed out, we've put ourselves in a very tenable position. I'd really like to know why Neslony hasn't signed yet. I know we have a couple weeks left, but if we do have a pre-agreement (we damn well better have), and he is no longing playing, what is the...
