from MLBTradeRumors:

Cardinals fourth-rounder Ian Bedell will sign with the team, the right-hander told MLB.com’s Anne Rogers. Terms of the agreement weren’t revealed, though the 122nd overall selection has a $469K slot value. “I would have gone back to school if the signing bonus wasn’t there, but they made a good offer, and I couldn’t be happier,” said Bedell, who grew up as a Cards fan. Draft pundits had a pretty wide range of opinions on Bedell’s draft stock (The Athletic’s Keith Law ranked him as the 58th-best prospect in the draft class, Fangraphs 85th, MLB Pipeline 88th, and Baseball America 105th), though those rankings still represent somewhat of a steal for the Cardinals with the 122nd pick. Bedell drew praise for his command and control of his pitches rather than his pure arsenal, and he pitched very well in the Cape Cod League last summer.

Yes. but that was prior to the ridiculously low twenty thousand cap

[THerr28]

super small sample size on Montero. My bad.

[THerr28]

Montero did not look at all good in the ST games I saw.

[THerr28]

[THerr28]

Levi Prater, Oklahoma U. smallish LHP

[THerr28]

Wilcox to Padres at #80

[THerr28]

despite having a draft position of 29th, here is who the first three Dodger picks are, pretty dangg good:

Bobby Miller
Landon Knack
Clayton Beeter

[THerr28]

Keith Law had Hence at #41
41. Markevian “Tink” Hence, RHP, Watson Chapel (Ark.) HS, Age: 17

Hence is one of the youngest prospects in the draft, as he won’t turn 18 until August, but is already 92-96 mph with a hammer curveball, along with a two-seamer, slider and changeup. He’s very athletic with a strong lower half, but his narrow frame means he doesn’t have the same projection as many other high school pitchers. There hasn’t been a big leaguer drafted out of an Arkansas high school since Travis Wood in 2005, one of just two from the last 20 drafts (Dustin Moseley, 2000), so Hence is facing long odds. He has such a strong arsenal for a 17-year-old and enough athleticism that some team is likely to take him in the top two rounds.

[THerr28]

Rays….Alika Williams, SS, Arizona State at #37
Cards…Alec Burleson, OF, East Carolina at #54
advantage Cards
(we got Liberatore)
huge advantage Cards IMO
as they discuss this they love Burleson’s lefty swing

[THerr28]

#70 of our trio of picks grouped together coming very shortly

I like how this 2 minutes per pick moves things along very quickly

[THerr28]

best name in the draft?

Markevian Hence

[THerr28]

Tink Hence, smallish high school pitcher

so far high school, high school, high school
