Definitely good news, and I didn't think they'd get it done with the insanity of the new CBA. Great news. How we continue to steal picks people thought would go first before injuries knocked them down after getting Strasburg then Harper? I mean wtf? Think about it. Four years. Strasburg. Harper. Rendon. Now Giolito. Holy crap. Four essentially number one picks. Four years. All signed. Damn that is awesomesauce.
"Former Harvard-Westlake pitcher Lucas Giolito has signed with the Washington Nationals for $2,925,000 just before Friday's signing deadline, according to Giolito's father, Rick."http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/varsitytimesinsider/2012/07/baseball-lucas-giolito-signs-with-washington-nationals.html
Why is this in the major league board when there is a thread in the Farm forum dedicated to him? Merged threads.
Q - should I split this thread into a "drafting and signing of LG" thread and an FTP thread, with the FTP focuses on stats, performance, and scouting and the drafting and signing thread focusing on the negotiations and what the pick says about Rizzo, the ownership, etc...?
How bout we all agree that it will never be resolved.
He'll be on 106.7 in about a half hour.
Good interview. He sounds like a level-headed kid.
Can you give us a summary of what he said? Thanks.
He went to a school with famous people, he relies on his 4 seam, also has a two seam and circle change, curve is his second best pitch. Looking forward to being a nat - coming to dc soon to watch a game then to extended ST, deal was down to the last minute, but he felt comfortable here
If no Tommy John, probably extended Spring, and then Hagerstown around now.
Isn't AFL for more advanced players?
usually, but the Nats sent Solis in 2010 with only two low-A starts (granted he had 2 years of college ball and was 21). And of course they sent Harper.
Zuck was on 94.3 yesterday when the announced that he had signed. He said he's going to be in Viera for a strength-conditioning program and probably won't play in the minors this year. Maybe if all goes right we see him in the AFL?
@RickGiolitoLuc gets his first Pro start this Tuesday against the GCL Cardinals. @LGio27 #Nationals #proud
