Yes. It would be a good consolation prize but the real victory would be Ohtani. Shit if we could sign him and still have a little leftover to sign severino that would be a raping of the international market.

Eppler is taking a trump que, and making the farm team great again.

Grab the market by the pussy?

Just using logic here, but how is A top 3 international signing only on par with the 80th (ish) US drafted player?  I realize that he’s young and raw but how in the world could they be equal?  I will assume most national scouts would have a different opinion.

Its all based on projections. People see things they like and things they dislike. I don't like Marte as much as some others. People may disagree, but that's my opinion. We wont know anything on either for at least another 3-5 years and so many variables will take place over that time. What happens if Marte's eye issue makes him blind in 5 months...? Guess nobody would have seen that coming. Pun intended.

I wont consider signing anyone named Hamilton, Wilson, Wells or Mathews Jr ever again.

Eppler would need to put it in the contract that he changes his last name...

More people should just stick random L's into old names and make them new. My next kid will be name Mlatthew.

I like Pearson's game. Had he not had the labrum issue I think he goes even higher in last years draft.

That's the thing though.   Sometimes, labrum injuries are never overcome.   It was a risk to draft him in an early round, given that. 

[vladdy#27]

Imagine our farm system in three years if we continue acquiring international bonus pool money. We would have to acquire it earlier in the season though because there’s not always going to be prospects like Maitan and Marte available this late in the season.

I agree with the scouts on this one, Marte is going to be a very good all around player. Better than Pearson. Pearson's swing is better, and he's stronger. He's probably about the same in the speed department.

I think in the end, Pearson will be the better offensive player, though Marte won't be a slouch himself. But Marte will be a far superior defensive player at a more important defensive position. Pearson is a liability in the field.

Pearson likely should have gone higher in the draft, like 2nd round or supplemental round but shoulder issues knocked his stock down. But Marte would be a mid to end of the first round talent.

Am I greedy for wanting to acquire more international money in order to sign Marte? We can still acquire around 1.5M, right? Might just be enough to sign him

It's good to be greedy. Angels will just trade for Stanton and the rest of the Marlins IFA

Btw, Severino is off the board. Twins just signed him

Isn’t that only for the Braves prospects?

That’s more than he originally got from the Braves!

[bloodbrother]

More importantly, it's one less prospect available for Seattle with all that money they have left now that Ohtani shunned them

[bloodbrother]

Signed with the Rays

 

 

[totdprods]

LOL at the Mariners and Rangers so far failing to land either Marte or Severino with their Ohtani Bucks.
