I'll take the higher waiver spot.The Flying Elvis said:
I don't think that move is OK. College (and HS) players have to be drafted before being eligible for pickup. The International guys are different, but American players must be drafted first (or drafted a 2nd time if they go to college after drafted out of HS).
No, anybody in the universe is eligible. I drafted Jason Heyward as a high schooler in the original draft in 2008.
Yep, just like I said.
Yup, I'm just trying to take some fliers on build up my young prospect base since basically all of the great ones are rostered. Rolling the dice on Carlos Rodon and Beede to get young some pitchers that should show up in the top 50 next year.Yep, just like I said.
And I did the same thing and picked up Aaron Crow when he was in college. (that worked out well btw)
Man, old age sucks.
No problem, think I have another offer up there... Interested in Buxton quite a bit, just trying to tear down and rebuild the team a bit and get some younger hitters.
It was hard for me to give up Russell particularly since I am convinced he will stay at SS for most of his career. I good deal for both sides I think.
It definitely is. It used to be easy to go get top prospects off the wire. Now they're all snapped up early.
Seeing as I've traded off some assets like Lee/Nathan/Sandoval for prospects, it's probably a matter of perception of find the next big thing these days. Trout/Harper and to a lesser extent Fernandez/Myers have helped skew the prospect curve a bit IMO. Not used to having young players real close to star status so quickly and so young. I was looking to deal my older pitching and closers for younger assets because my cupboard was pretty dry.
