“Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman told Chastain the team has “planned in advance for this Draft and the expected financial outlay for this many players in the top of the Draft.”
Crap.

I do not understand gambling jokes! I bought a scratch ticket once and I dropped $4.50 on a slot machine this one time, that’s the extent of my gambling experience.

I don’t gamble either, just thought basic odds were pretty common knowledge in the sports world, I guess not.
How about this? Looks like there’s a good chance the Rays will have the top farm system before long.

That may be true but unless the Royals graduate a few more players they’ll have something to say about it.

By 2013 the Royals will have one of the better MLB teams, but their farm system will take a hit. But that is a good thing, that’s what the system is there for.

No i think you’re right. Just playing devil’s advocate. One thing to look out for is that the Rays will likely sign players for right at slot, forgoing talent perhaps. If that’s the case, the Blue Jays (who also have a tone of picks) could have a better draft because of their monetary limitations (or lack thereof compared to the Rays).

I just hope there’s a few left over scraps when it comes time for the White Sox to pick.

kenny williams can’t wait for trading picks to be endorsed by the league so he can just get it over with beforehand

Kevin Goldstein’s piece just reaffirmed my position that if Bundy is there at 4 and the O’s don’t take him I’m throwing my TV out the window.

The Rays are the one team you cannot hate for not spending money on FA because they draft really well and develop their players to the point that they have a quality product on the field, I really believe every low market team should take note of how the Rays operate baseball, this is their version of money ball, and it seems to be working out well, just not good at bringing fans to the stadium.
