Jonathan Gray rhp 3ds_rockies85 22 2014 After drafting him third overall in June, the Rockies limited Gray from using his devastating slider in his pro debut so that he could focus on fastball command. If Gray learned that lesson, watch out.


We drafted Gray a few years ago but couldn't (or wouldn't) sign him. Huge blunder. At least we blew money on Tim Melville and Bubba Starling.

Of note, Mondesi is the highest ranked 18 year old. Austin Meadows, also 18, is a couple of spots behind.

The offered him a lot actually, he turned it down. He's bee. Drafted 3 times, methinks.

Highlights of day: Players debate whether curling is a sport; Yost considers the merits of YouTube; Dyson homers in BP, endures catcalls.


The new beat writer has been substantially more enjoyable on Twitter than Dutton ever was...

I approve.

100/30 = 3.333

"Terrible"? "Brutal"?

Seems a bit rash.

Two #TrueSABR moments this morning: Ned Yost says he's never had trouble finding a good closer; Billy Butler says his job is to get on base.
Thats awesome, I liked Dutton, but this is an upgrade so far.

He's been outstanding. His piece on Escobar was full of advanced metrics. I hope he stays for awhile. He left the NY market to come here, so hopefully he likes the Midwest and settles in.

Kyle Zimmer said he was learning from "the old guys", and in response this happened.

That controversy with the Phillies is turning out to be a complete disaster. Here's the reaction from one agent:

"As of today, Phillies are out. Phillies are not getting into any more of our households. We're shutting down all communications"

Scumbags in Philly.

I've read a bit more on this, this won't have any impact outside of Philly, but this is swiftly spiralling out of control for the Phillies, and they are gonna have to take action soon with the next draft coming up.

Apparently, almost every agent in baseball is now telling the Phillies that they will not talk to them nor allow them to talk to their player before the draft. The Phillies are not going to be able to operate that way, sure it sucks for them that a couple kids changed their mind last year and went back to school, but every team has got to be able to talk to kids to get a feel for how signable everyone is.

I'm betting some people in Philadelphia are going to be fired, and then the Phillies will beg the agents for forgiveness.
