Btw I know nothing about this guy. Does he project as a starter or reliever? Too early to tell?

normally it's hard to get a bead on those HS guys from the later rounds that actually sign.   My guess is that they grab a few and then kinda throw out the idea that if there's some extra money from the pool then they'll give it all to the first one who takes it.  

They're all hard to project as 18 yo dudes coming out of HS that typically weren't good enough to go in the first 5 rounds.  Crow getting a bonus of what amounts to a 5th round pick should tell us that the halos though a fair amount of him.  

Other guys to sort of half pay attention to in that mid to late round HS signing range are Edwin Sanchez (2019, 13th round out of puerto rico. doing well in ACL in just a few innings).  

from 2018 - Van Scoyoc (11th round - 6'6" with bad results so far but probably super duper raw with tons of walks), Daniel Nunan (12 round - almost exactly the same as Van Scoyoc but LHed.), Chase Chaney (16th round.  Signed as a SS but has been on the mound for the ACL.  Again, probably very very raw).

New name idea: Utah non-binary ejaculation. 

on behalf of everyone here, thank you for not creating a graphic to go with the name.

Danny Nunan will always be a classic name.   Wonder if he’s good with the irons and putter.

Anybody see how Detmers did in the Futures Game?   Forgot to DVR it.

It's now the top of the 2nd and he still hasn't pitched, so I think his TF (trying factor) is trending in the wrong direction.

he's got one of the top tWAR in all the minors.

Yan came into face 3 hitters. 

fastball:  92.

Slider:low 80s.

overall: lacked control, had one walk and got away with an flyout. Lack of control and velo is a concern. He is a BP arm and I think they should put him the BP and see if he can discover that lost velo.

It's the "Futures Game" and not a word has been said about the guy on the mound because the booth wants to blow KGJ and ask him about his past....

Only thing said about Detmers was -- "Reid Detmers is out"

...and he's already out.  Struck out both guys.

Strikes out both batters.

Detmers is a top 20 prospect if he played for Boston or New York.

He should have showed up weighing 400 pounds like Dominguez

Tell me what you thought of that thrilling retelling of how minor leaguers call KGJ, Mr Griffey and he tells them to call him Jr.

I was on the edge of my seat.

Like Detmers -- all he did was strike out.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Detmers:

Fastball: 93-95

Saw a few pitches that looked like sliders in the Low 80s 

One curve for a ball.

Slow sneaky ass Windup. Sums its ul perfectly! The slider looked good. Overall hitters weren't seeing the ball much, which makes Detmers stuff better. Ceiling of a solid 2/3.

So you are calling Detmers a "top"?

He's absolutely a top.

Baldoquin is a bottom.

Best of all, Crow is just 20.

This one is 100% on Billy's boys.   They paid to keep him from going to school.   They obviously spent the downtime teaching him a few things.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Detmers should be in the top 40!

Rodriguez,I still don't understand why he's not considered a prospect should be top 15.

[rafibomb]

Dominguez just had the ugliest at-bat of the Futures Game so far flailing at three straight pitches off the plate.

He's there on hype and nothing else and it's honestly annoying.   I can't think of anyone to play in the game having done less than Dominguez.   The blathering about how he compares to Trout, Mantle, Bo Jackson...   FFS, let him play a little first.   

Like Brien Taylor before him, the Yankee hype machine has really elevated his status.... Brien Taylor was ranked the number one prospect in MLB by BBA before he had ever thrown a professional inning.
