How many players signed for more than Kobernus? Not Kipnis or Seager, which look like better picks.
Just in rounds two-six, and this is not based on talent, but who got a bigger bonus than Kobernus (705K).Round 2SD - Everett Williams - 775KBAL - Mychal Givens - 800KSF - Tommy Joseph - 712KDET - Andrew Oliver - 1.4MLAD - Garrett Gould - 900KNYM - Steve Matz - 895KNYY - J.R.

What's the story with RHP Ivan Pineyro? Had this line today in Hagerstown: 6 IP 3 H 0 R 2 BB 12 K (Win)Probably a fluke. Hickory struck out 18 times in the game vs Hagerstown (Suns won 3-0).
Agreed. But that doesn't mean they couldn't have gone with someone with more upside with his pick, if they weren't looking to save money.
he was projected to have more pop, but obviously he's sacrificed that for more contact. also his speed is better than what they thought.
Fredericksburg would be an “ideal location for minor league baseball,” a Washington-based firm told the city’s Economic Development Authority on Monday.Members of the Brailsford & Dunlavey firm presented the results of a market analysis to determine the prospects of a multi-use baseball stadium in Fredericksburg. The EDA voted last month to spend up to $18,000 on the study.Fredericksburg officials and local baseball enthusiasts have been making a push to attract a minor league team. Fredericksburg City Council member Matt Kelly said he and fellow Councilman Fred Howe have been talking to representatives of one single baseball team and working through ways to finance a multi-use stadium that is expected to cost about $28 million not including land acquisition.Though nobody will confirm it, all signs point to the Hagerstown Suns as the focal point of the local effort. The Suns are a Class-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, and the team has been looking at potential new homes amid ongoing discussions with Hagerstown, Md., officials on a new stadium. Team majority owner Bruce Quinn has said that he sees a lot of potential for a team in Fredericksburg.
Columbus 10, Syracuse 7: Chris Young allowed eight earned runs in 4 2/3 innings on 11 hits and four walks, striking out one. Chris Rahl went 5 for 5 with two doubles. Wil Rhymes went 2 for 4 with a walk.Potomac 9, Wilmington 6: Michael Taylor went 2 for 2 with a double. Jason Martinson went 2 for 4 with a double and a walk. A.J. Cole allowed six runs in five innings on six hits and two walks, striking out three.
Lefty reliever Fernando Abad has yet to allow an earned run through six appearances in the month of May. He has shown versatility, pitching as much as 2 1/3 innings in relief for Syracuse and has a team-best 1.17 ERA this season. His 1.04 WHIP through 15 1/3 innings also stands out.
San Diego drafted Erik Davis in the 13th round last year, out of Stanford. He pitched excellently in his pro debut, showing sharp command of his 89-92 MPH sinking fastball, solid curveball and very good changeup. He never quite lived up to expectations in college, but scouts like his emotional fortitude: he was hit in the face by a line drive in the 2006 Cape Cod League, almost losing an eye and requiring reconstructive surgery. Davis will have to prove himself at higher levels, but he’s earned the opportunity, and I think he is a sleeper.
After finishing ’11 with five losses in sixstarts after being dropped down from AA toHigh-A, Davis appeared to have maxed out.Switched to relief in 2012, the Stanford gradpicked up velocity, improved his control andincreased his K rate all at AA, enough to earnboth a look-see at AAA and a 40-man spot.Has a FB/KCV/CH combo and profiles as amiddle reliever per Sickels.
