I think they knew that all along cause his dad wanted him to go to college.

I think I'd pay money just to see Tony Pena not on the team.

I don't know about that. We stopped doing the stupid $1000 dollar bonus crap a few years ago and have been paying slot for guys for a couple-three years now. And there's very little doubt we've tried to overpay for numerous free agents.

This is all true. But I don't know of a previous draft where the team has been willing to go so far above slot in rounds 2 +. I could be wrong, but this seems to be something new for Glass and company.

That was the prevailing thought, but money talks. I wondered if the Yankees would buy him out of his comittment.

What was the deal with honoring his dad's wishes? Almost sounds like he died...Did he? I honestly have no clue.

#5 pick Posey signed with Giants....

Where are you getting this, please? Thanks.

BA has a draft blog going....my F5 is getting a workout.

Thanks.

Nats fail to sign crow b/c of 700k. Wow.

Idiotic. If I were Crowe, I'd sucker punch my "advisor" first chance I got.

Man, I didn't realize the Yankees are now 10.5 games out of first. They have a real uphill battle. They're a lot closer to dropping to 4th behind the Blue Jays than sliding up to 2nd.

Unbelievably stupid for both sides. Please don't let this be the Royals.

I sure hope Boras having to work both Alvarez and Hosmer didn't deter a deal getting done. You have to figure he spent more time on the big name --- Alvarez.

Good grief though. The #2 and #3. Talk about 1A and 1B...
