So does this mean Ruckert to 3rd?



I mean i would think Park is at 3B and Ruckert gets a shot at 1B or an outfield spot.

Pearson is odd man out for sure. Ruckert has a chance to stay in lineup but will be tough. he will have to hit to find a spot somewhere

I like Ruckert. I feel like he is going to be good.
Maybe Ruckert and Braun both stay in the lineup- at 1st/OF.

I’ve never been a big Pearson fan. I’m sure he’s a good dude. He’s just not special at the plate or in the field.

If pitching gets right. Could end up with a really solid team.

If Brown and Milam are coming back, Curiel may as well join them.

Brown and Curland announcing this on opening day of the CWS is really cool.

I’m sure it wasn’t the money.

Has Brown's draft projection fallen? I think Brown and Curiel would be passing up a lot more money than Milam and Kurland. I guess anything's possible.

Brown was ranked 44th at his highest in BA's ranking. He slipped to 70th and then to 82nd in the most recent one.

In slot numbers it's $2.2MM to $1MM.

Ethan Frey signed for $1MM last year.

ETA: Which means that Brown's best move is to go pro now. More is made of "leverage" than probably should be. No one is going to give him $1MM next year.

Poche stayed his Senior year too, and that
Freshman class was stacked with Smith, Walker, Watson, Hess, and Peterson.

I’m (again) hearing rumblings that Curiel to MLB isn’t such a sure thing..
