The Bubba Starling Thread

Might as well just pull up a chair and wait. We've got a long way to go here.

I just wanna see how much money he's gonna get... The Royals were at 7.5 million on the table last week. I wanna see how much this Boras guy got them to come up.

Question: which MLB draftee has signed for the most $ and how much? Not this year, but over the past 10 years. Highest signed guy, who and how much?

I believe Stephen Strasburg signed for 15 or 16 million. Before him, the record was Mark Prior at about 10.5 million.

Bubba asking for 10 million seems a reach compared to those other guys.

 
I love it when your opponent has never learned, after a decade of playing fantasy baseball, that two-start pitchers rarely win the game for you. If a pitcher is projected to win 10 games in a year, and you've got him on a double-start OR you have another decent pitcher going up against a really terrible team, you go with the single-start guy with the better chance of winning one game.

In a 22-week season, where your pitcher is going to get 30 starts, expecting him to win two games in one week when he's a mediocre pitcher to begin with is foolish.

You would really <really> hate my fantasy baseball league then.
Hate it, or dominate it?
Its like the Mercantile exchange on the ol' waiver wire around Sunday.
