More Cubs hijinks! They signed Chris Huseby (11th) for $1.3 million and Drew Rundle (14th) for $500K."
They got alot of flack for the Samard bonus (and it was a crazy one) and i dont like it if they felt they had to get a cheap 1st rounder to get him but in general i like the strategy, if youre a monied team, to throw a ton of #### at the wall so some will stick.
Its not about whether Huseby or Rundle turn out to be anything, its more just geting commodities in your system,
"
Cubs signed 3B Josh Lansford and IF Ryne Malone."
Why in the HELL did he sign as a 49th rounder coming off his worst college year. He has the talent to put up some gaudy hitting #s as a sr next year and move up. He might not be toolsy enough to move too high but man if you hit ACC pitching youll go higher thgan 49th

The Yankees have also signed Dellin Betances:

Thanks to Fabian for these.

Who's his agent, again?
So, any guesses on whether the "slot guidelines" system is about to collapse? If I'm Omar Minaya, I'm wondering why the hell I let the commissioner tell me not to give Pedro Beato $1 million, and I'm planning to spend just as much as the Yankees to sign the players I want...
Also, Jonathan Hovis from UNC signed with the Yankees as an undrafted FA:
N&O story.

...Hova shoulda gotten a draft pick.
Sure its probably better to be a UDFA than a 49th rounder, and it might make more sense for a pro team to spend pick 49 on some longshot or possible DFE than a guy they could get as a UDFA...but man...dude was beast for 4 years in college.
To guys who saw them more...how does he compare w Gronk (who someone else suggested as a comp) or Kip Bouknight (who i can sorta see a comp to besides the starter/reliver thing...and sure he might not have been as great as Kip..)
In other news, Frank Burns eat worms.
Hovis/Gronk: I might have made that comp (as NDFAs who were stud relievers in college). Both undersized (Gronk is smaller) with different repetoires: Gronk had the excellent changeup, while Hovis is more of a sinker/slider guy - Hovis also has a lower armslot and throws a teeny bit harder.
I never really thought about it before, but how are "slot guidelines" approved by the Commissioner not considered collusion? As far as I know, the NBA and NFL have their rookie caps bargained into their CBAs. Baseball's, I think, not so much.
Note: I'm not a lawyer and probably don't know what I'm talking about.
Who's going to protest? Both management and the union benefit from the current setup (mgmt by spending less money on the draft, players by maintaining current cba rights while seeing less money go to draftees (and potentially more to themselves) yet not publically being against the side of the draftees (some of whom are related to union members). That leaves the draftees and agents - and few draftees want to be a lesser Curt Flood in a fight they've less chance of winning (there would be risk for the agents as well).
Furthermore, the "collusion", though more public/overt than in '87, is less consistent - teams go above slot with regularity. I'd think that matters.
Not a lawyer either but isnt it that since draftees aren't major league players they have no CBA rights, no union...they aren't even minor leaguers yet tecnically...so they are helpless
Supposedly he'll be assigned to low class A Burlington.
Cleveland signed LHP John Gaub (21st round) for 155K. When healthy, he looked like a top-3 round pick (2-1 2.08 ERA in 39 innings as a sophomore with 65 K vs. 17 walks, FB b/w 90-94 MPH, plus curve) - but arthroscopic shoulder surgery wreaked havoc on his velocity (low 80s) and command this spring. He'll sit out '06 in hopes of being close to full strength next spring. This is a nice risk.
Jersey stand up.
I should clarify that Mulvey was the Mets top pick, but he was drafted in the second round.
