We still have a shot at the number one overall pick. Twins are only 2 games worse than us, 22 games left to play and our schedules are roughly equally as difficult the rest of the season. We win the tiebreaker if we end up with the same record. The tiebreaker is the previous seasons win loss...

It really has. Our farm system the second half has been amazing.

Oh, duh, didn't realize that is what you were talking about. Damn, I think you're right.

How good is next year's draft crop? The only thing I have seen is that almost everyone agrees it is better than last year's crop. I guess we really won't know until closer to next year's draft but I think there already appears to be more potential superstars in this class than this past one.

Isn't that his mom? Looks like she might be signing something because he is only 16?

Astros are supposedly strong favorites to sign him because they signed his older brother.

I think the team who has the best chance to overtake the Braves for the worst record by end of year are the Rays. Yes, they are a much better team than the other four contenders for worst record (best run differential) BUT there schedule the rest of the way is brutal. I think they only have five...

Our high school pitching draftees are killing it. The only blip on the radar has been Wentz's first start after moving up a level.

Wow, talk about an overpay. Wish we could have moved Viz for half that package. And unlike Chapman, Viz is under cheap control for a few more years.

Depends on the prospects we get back. If they are good and all it costs us is money, why not?

I hope we get swept by the Reds this series as they seem like our main competitor for the first overall pick next year with the huge signing pool that comes with it. Honestly, the Reds are worse than we are so I am thankful we've managed to lose more games up to this point. Regardless, we...

Booooo!!!!

Man, I hope our new batch of international signees ball out as much as last year's crop has been.

Braves need to be smart and wait to trade for guys like Meyers and Archer this winter, not at the trade deadline. We need the first or second overall pick next year in what looks to be an incredibly strong draft. Getting Meyers or Archer will sink those hopes. The Reds and Twins are gunning hard...

I'd guess that we are close up to hitting the limit in our international budget and that Coppy prefers to keep the rest of the budget ready for some of the Cuban's price tags to drop later this signing period.

NM, I thought I saw Badler mention it but my memory sucks. It was a writer at talking chop that said we are expected to sign Del Rosario today. Also, you are right it wasnt Sanchez who announced the signing but some other guy but that guy gave out contract terms making it seem legit. His other...

That's odd. Both Ben Badler and Sanchez tweeted we are. Who is correct?

Pena isn't old enough to sign yet. He turns 16 in a few weeks and the deal with the Braves will be announced then. Also pretty sure we have indeed signed del Rosario for close to $1m. Don't know his age but maybe he isn't 16 either which is why it hasn't been officially announced yet. I'm not...

What separates Maitan the most, to Me, is that he has the potential for 70 grade power down the line. Only one other international signees this year has that type of eventual power possibility.

It's absolutely inexcusable that Bridges offered money to a draftee without having the hard budget numbers calculated first. I doubt any of the other 29 clubs did that with any of their signees. It also makes me worry that Bridges might have screwed us out of our first round pick,next year. If...
