Wow, maybe you should visit with Nolan before you make comments like those about Tommy Mendonca or atleast have some knowledge about the player. Watch and see where this kid goes it will be amazing.

There are no words to describe how fascinating I find this all. There are no words.

And if you had told me prior to the draft, that having already been sitting on the best system in baseball, that JD & Co. would somehow pull off the best draft haul, too?

There are no words.

Really enjoyed the read Mike! It’s always nice to get an “outside” viewpoint now and again…

Hightower: I think that’s a great idea. Nobody wants to be accused of setting the market too high, that’s why they all have to wait. Why not move the deadline up? I’ll call Milwaukee and have somebody throw some icewater in Bud’s face to wake him up so I can pass your idea along.

Fantastic info…thanks for this, MJH.

One draft question I’d love to see addressed: if the commissioner’s office doesn’t like seeing slot-busting, so much so that teams wait until the deadline to sneak those signings by, and when there are years everyone – everyone – knows slotbusting will happen for high draft picks…wouldn’t it be better all over to set the deadline earlier? July 15th?

I’d love to hear discussion on that.
