Just for you babe.

 

Is Turang a definite?

 

Yep. 3 mill+. Cpm called him the next Alex Bregman.

 

Ugh. I thought maybe there was a chance.

 

Round 11 starts. No more slot value from here on out but bonus set at 120k. Watson Hess hill Cabell Marceaux all atop the best available. Could be a run on these guys unless word is out their number is too big. Most teams don't have much money after signing their top round guys. And the fact they weren't drafted means it's likely they wanted a lot more than the interested teams were willing to pay.

And the picks from round 11 on fly by.

 

Well

That's good for us right

 

It's unbelievable to this point. Today will likely be ugly but Duplantis is the one who I'm worried about. Watson and Hess should be back. Our entire starting roster could return of those we want back. I already felt cpm was gonna go scorched earth on roster turnover. Now it's a must. We will have to 'process' about 10 guys or more. Which is crazy. We could have power throughout the order if things continue this direction. The bullpen would be stacked.


66. Zach Watson, OF
70. Elijah Cabell, OF (TNXL Academy, Altamonte Springs, FL)

Watson is the #1 undrafted D1 college player. Hess is #3. Duplantis is #9. No other school has more than 1 undrafted returning player that highly ranked.

 

Wow. I knew we had some ballers going into next season, but this is like Christmas 18 times over.

Anyone wanna talk shit about CPM, go ahead and lick your chops because next year is the year to set that bar, but you are a fool to think that already. Some might say this season was a let down, but the reality is this year was probably one of CPM's best coaching jobs ever. I know that is a hard sell, but it is more than real and it is like the 2nd coming of christ this team got as far as it did, all things considered. We are gonna be loaded next season. Loaded to make a run at hosting a super, again.

 

Cam Sanders picked by Cubs.

Feduccia picked by Dodgers.

Both will go. Both in 12th. Feduccia was last pick of the round.
