If we actually help Boras break the draft

if boras can get us appel, then i'd completely change my opinion of him

Selig talks too flipping slow. Spit it out.

Figures.

wow, there goes that. At least the Marlins didn't get him.

Well, Boras tried to get him to us.

What exactly are the new rules on this?

10% over is one year's pick, 15 is two

Amanda Comak ‏@acomak

Mark Appel goes off the board to the #Pirates at No. 8, eight selections before he'd even get to the #nationals.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #335:** June 04, 2012, 08:01:50 PM »

meh, now we are looking at a mid rotation college SP or defensive wizard but offensive zilch Deven Marrero.

Um what?

#Pirates grab Dahl at 8. Very athletic OF. In down year for #mlbdraft position players, we're seeing up-the-middle guys go quick.

zimm_da_kid · « **Reply #337:** June 04, 2012, 08:02:18 PM »

this was probably just boras' way of protesting the new draft rules

Thx, yea this system is so stupid. This is the system Bud Selig has been working tirelessly for the better part of 10 years to put in place.

That was before the selection.

#Pirates on Appel. Wow, didn't see that one at all. Hard not to grab that talent at 8 though. May eat up most of $6.6 mil budget. #mlbdraft

"You seem to manage just fine" may be the funniest line a commercial so far this year.

zimm_da_kid · « **Reply #341:** June 04, 2012, 08:05:12 PM »

does boras advise giolito?

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #342:** June 04, 2012, 08:05:38 PM »

Heaney gone. One less college arm for the Nats

thepointe01 · « **Reply #343:** June 04, 2012, 08:05:44 PM »

Haney to Marlins

I'm just tuning in, why didn't buxton go #1?

They liked the SS better.

zimm_da_kid · « **Reply #346:** June 04, 2012, 08:07:15 PM »

was there any follow up by goldstein on the appel to nats rumor?

The more intriguing question is why appel fell so far? I bet Boras is waving his behind-the-scenes middle finger at Selig.

They basically like Correa more. Apparently they were blown away on a private workout by his skills and makeup.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #349:** June 04, 2012, 08:08:06 PM »

I'd be shocked if the Nats didn't take Stroman if he's there.
