“The Pirates have narrowed their choices to include Manny Machado, Jameson Taillon, or a college pitcher.”
So they’ve narrowed their choices to include all the possibilities we’ve heard all along?

The better question would be this: Who WOULD be surprised if the Sox took a college pitcher?

I’m not one to complain about sports salaries and all that and I definitely wouldn’t support a general salary cap system, but boy do I hate undrafted prospects talking about how they’re “looking for x-level money”.
I haven’t thought about it much, but I don’t know that I would have a problem with a flat-rate draft system in which getting drafted meant you had the option to either sign with the team that drafted you for the flat rate or decline and try again next year.
I guess there would have to be some additional stipulations. I’ll shutup until I’ve given it more than a moment’s thought.

Even the high bonuses are still vastly deflated from what their price tags would be on the open market. Between that and the chance that this is their only big pay day in baseball, deflating paydays further would steer far more multi-sport athletes away from baseball. Just to name one problem. That’s just one problem right there.

At least they can’t say Harper is the next Mauer if he’s going to be in the outfield.
