The Bubba Starling Thread

[HuskerT]

This situation appears to be no different than the Dodgers 1st rd draft pick last year Zach Lee. Everyone thought that because he signed with LSU enrolled and was practicing that he would be unsignable. In these cases money talks and BS walks. Hope I'm wrong.

"I want him to go to Nebraska. I want to take road trips to Nebraska. I want to wear Husker red and watch him play."

Bubba's 15-year-old sister

This was a really old story and was posted here awhile ago.

Now that we know Bubba was drafted by the Royals at No. 5, the situation is immensely different. It is a general consensus around here that he is just at Nebraska to drive up the signing price.

Yea she probably wants her brother to buy her a Volkswagon Beetle for her 16th birthday.

Seems Bubba is askin for $10mil, but only being offered $7.5mil

Does anyone think this decision will drag to the deadline?

Of course, that's how the game works-his agent is going to make KC sweat it out until the very end, and then he will take the $8-9 mil that they settle on.

rcuit baba starling is now being offered 7.5 million by the kansas city royals. the article stated that baba,s agent is seeking 10 million....do you think baba will really want to play college football for $0 when offered close to 10 million...i don,t think he will ever play a game for nu huskers

Probably about 6-7 years too late for that though...

I don't think I had seen this mentioned elsewhere. In this article there is a revelation that Bubba did not pitch his senior year like he had done in the past PER PELINI'S REQUEST.

Doesn't mean much. He won't pitch in the bigs either, he'd be outfield.

It's only fair that we post the accompanying photo in this thread, especially since I've had to look at the bouncing a$$ photo 5,000 times.

Look at his neck

Look at his neck

I noticed it looked huge too, but why would they photoshop it to randomly make his neck look big?

It doesn't look quite the same in these photos but he's not putting pressure on it with a baseball bat and there's no shadow to the right.
