I have a hard time believing this.  

 

 

We should give him 25mil mil just to be safe.

Nothing wrong wit that. If you have 300k extra, you take care of your family, pay off the house, take a vacation and save/invest the remainder.

Why did you stop at 9?

Besides, none of those programs are in the Big West so I count 0 big time programs listed.

'then it was a run on college dudes who really excelled' 

 

  33 of our final 36 picks were college dudes.   the six you listed qualify to the first part of my phrase

 

'mostly at lesser programs vs. lesser competition'

 

you listed 6 big time programs.  I listed 12 lesser programs that faced lesser competition.  there were others I didn't list as well.  

most of the 33 college players we drafted out of our last 36 picks were from lesser programs facing lesser competition.  

 

my real point was that we targeted players who did really well regardless of where they played and who they played against.  we could have gone after guys who weren't standouts at bigger programs but we didn't - for the most part.

what if we win 6 in a row (i said what if!) in the beginning of July, win every other game for a 6 weeks, then win 15 of 18 in september.

" the angels lost 6 in a row then went on a run of winning games "

accurate?

accurate?

sure.  but your analogy only includes two parameters.  Wins and time.  there were three parameters in my statement.  (college guys, picks, and programs)

a more appropriate analogy would be where we won 6 games in a row in early july by more than 2 runs.  and then won every game for six weeks and 15 of 18 in september by less than 2 runs.  

we went on a run of wins.  most of those wins coming by less than 2 run.  

again, I was discussing halos draft strategy in that I think we targeted players who excelled regardless of program as opposed to picking guys that were lesser players at big programs IN GENERAL.  

what are you trying to be right about?  making me wrong?  

that's gonna be pretty tough considering that my original statement is accurate.   

 

If you want to parse up how we drafted further and apply some level of significance to those six picks being at bigger schools then great.  I would love to hear your thoughts on how that relates to our draft strategy.

Hey now!    I do that. 

[Cdaniel]

Is today the deadline to sign?  Has David  Oppenheim signed? 

[Angel Oracle]

Today is the deadline.   I am assuming that Molina is going to college, since the Halos pretty much only have 13th round slot money remaining for him.

Don't they have like $200-300k extra before they lose a pick? Aren't they basically at the pool money now and get 5% before they hit the puck limit? Maybe I'm imagining that. 

Even if they have that money it might not be enough. $300-400k is nothing to sneeze at but after taxes and advisor fees it's much less. The guy has talent and if he keeps his nose clean could make much more money after one year in JC. I hope he signs but it could be worth the risk to try again.

[Second Base]

I think the Angels could offer Molina around a million before losing a pick. So basically he could get paid like a second round pick.
