Agreed, great signs of turnarounds for Riley and Ruiz. Swanson and Albies seem to also be figuring out their new levels as well.

I wonder which offer the Braved wanted to pull? Seems like the only possibilities are (11) Matt Rowland - $400,000 (15) Zach Becherer - $175,000 (19) Tucker Davidson - $125,000. I doubt it was Rowland and I am not sure getting back only $25,000 from pulling Tucker Davidson's offer would have...

Excellent article, thanks for the link.

The Braves just broke this poor kid's heart because someone in the organization is incompetent at math. Seriously, I'd be outraged if I were Anthony or his friends/family.

I haven't heard but I hope they have him playing 3b or of instead of c so he can better concentrate on his hit tool. Our system will have two high profile catching prospects sign this year (Cumberland and Gutierrez) and has Herbert from last year. I also have doubts that Anthony can stay behind...

If Ian Anderson does sign for $3.75M, we probably can offer Shumpert only about $150k by my calculations ($50k over slot). Not sure he will sign for that little.

Not the Cuban, this one is Dominican and not much of a prospect.

Ben ranked him the third best player in Cuba in January 2016, so yeah, sounds like a good player. He is old enough though where any team can sign him as he doesn't fit in the international signees rules for younger players, meaning current penalty teams like the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox and...

Yeah, there was another article at BA just three or four days ago saying that Del Rosario is now favored to sign with the Braves. If so, that brings the total of international signees we are favored to sign up to seven, five position players, two pitchers., quite excellent. I'd love for us to...

Justin Ellison was signed from the same JuCo as Anthony last year and he had just as good of a batting line, maybe even better. So far Ellison has looked pretty pedestrian in the minors so I am not sure Anthony is a huge loss. Seems like the competition and hitting environment at Western...

Hopefully we sign Shumpert.

That is awesome news. Hyssong is also signed for $10k leaving only Neslony as the lone top ten pick left unsigned. We already know that Neslony will sign as soon as the college world series is over, probably for $10k as well. I believe this means that we will stay under the over 5% penalty even...

I was leery about Lewis because 1) he played against rather subpar competition compared to guys like Senzel and Ray 2) Lewis's home ballpark is one of the most hitter friendly parks in college baseball, especially inflating power numbers. For those reasons, I thought he probably isn't as good...

People were referring to Maitan as a possible generational talent just a couple of months ago. I doubt he has done anything since to change projections or opinions that much. I think people are just tempering expectations a bit because he is only 16 years old, one of the younger international...
