Even without picking first overall, or even in the top, the Nationals managed to make a major splash and set up a contract staredown with their first choice in the MLB draft.etc
It'd be interesting to see the reaction of other NL teams when the Nats made that pick.
does boras advise giolito?
Adam Kilgore@AdamKilgoreWPLucas Giolito is "advised" by CAA. Same high-profile agency as Ryan Zimmerman, Drew Storen and John Lannan.
No.
That's good.
Rizzo seems to take early draft BPA to an extreme and even isn't scared by injuries, and this has put him in stark contrast to other GMs when you look at the last 5 years. It's interesting how scared most GMs play the draft compared to teams like the Nats, Pirates, and a few others.I love it, and it has the draft experts drooling.
Except maybe the Lannan part
storen and zimm both signed within a day or two of the draft. that is a very good sign.
except gio throws 100 mph. i'm really excited
When's he expected to be healthy?
well he's apparently healthy now. he was checked out by doctors and they all said that he didn't have structural damage. He was throwing off flat ground prior to the draft.
Adam Kilgore @AdamKilgoreWPI talked with Nats scouting director Kris Kline last fall about who'd be the 1st pick, assuming it wouldn't affect the Nats. He said Giolito
That is the greatest smile ever from Courtney Hawkins, I'm rooting for him already.
