2021 MLB Draft Megathread

[Horny Bull 2766]

 

[Laxtonto 12121]

Curious what time he medical issue Texas found with Zavala. Ended up signing him for 823k which was 3rd round $$.

 

Hopefully it is something that is routine to fix and won’t shelve him long term

Why would he forgo Vandy? Seems like an odd choice especially since he could probably come out nicely with NIL

[Js1 85600]

Astros also didn’t sign the OK State commit

If he had a shaky medical then rehab might be the way to go. I saw that mentioned by a few people.

You don't think the pipeline from their Dominican DSL team to their AAA affiliate and everybody in between...you don't think the Royals can identify and develop talent?  They were doing DomincanPesoBall before Moneyball was ever written.  They've been getting their rosters raided by wealthier teams for a long time, particularly in the last ten years.  And their record reflects that.  Their parent club is a joke, but they've been bringing guys along better than almost any other team in MLB for a long time now.  I'm talking about instruction/training from even before DSL to High A ball.  They're among the best in the business.  

That's nice, but in the last decade, they've wasted top 5 overall picks on Bubba Starling, Christian Colon, and Kyle Zimmer.
