Regarding the last two posts, here is what I read from people who care more about the MLB and its mechanics than I do: these teams went slot/overslot with the first couple of picks. Then they follow up the next few rounds with college senior pitchers who they are purposely overdrafting and can sign for cheap, as their only other option is to go play in a foreign or independent league. They will then take the multi round savings and draft a guy in these later rounds to throw more money at them than they would have been able to if they drafted the person in an earlier round.

It makes and has always made the MLB draft a bit of a farce

Are the later round guys HS projects they’re trying to pay to keep out of college?

Isn't it going to be different now as they don't have the number of minor league teams that need players. Also, isn't the draft only 25 rounds now, compared to a couple of years ago when it was 40?

I'm not sure as caring about the MLB draft is a ridiculously futile pursuit, but I think that is the logic.

Not even close. The bullshit runner at 2nd to start extra innings is way worse.

Both are really stupid but I think you’re right. Ghost runner gets the edge.

I can live with starting a guy on base to start the 12th inning and thereafter. But play two real extra innings before you start implementing little league rules.

I stand corrected.....runner at 2nd to start the 10th and subsequent innings is worse.
Both suck. Manfred can eat a bag of dicks.

I'm fine with ghost runners and 7 inning games. Hell, make them all 7 inning games. Ghost runner in the the 8th. Yep. 120 game season of 7 inning games. Sounds like heaven.

Yankees as a team were over the 85% vaccinated rate.

So why are we canceling games for people getting a cold?
