Top farm systems: Right-handed pitchers

4. Blue Jays (Nate Pearson)
Nate Pearson is No. 2 on the Top 10 RHP list and No. 8 overall, just one spot after Mize, thanks to his 80-grade fastball and plus slider (not to mention his above-average changeup and ability to command all of it). Simeon Woods Richardson, acquired from the Mets last year, is at No. 98 overall currently, but could make a big move up prospect lists. In addition to 2019 first-round pick Alek Manoah, the team’s No. 4 prospect, and No. 9 prospect Adam Kloffenstein, the Blue Jays will add three right-handers from our Draft Top 200 this year: CJ Van Eyk (No. 39 on that list), Nick Frasso (No. 98) and Trent Palmer (No. 114).

Baseball field is pretty safe place to be, imo. I don’t blame him for wanting to get back out there.

The baseball field is fine. It is all the travel associated with it. I haven't been following too closely, but has it even been outlined how they are moving umpiring crews from one city to another? I assume umpiring squads will be assigned to each region, and stay in each region (East/Central/West), but are they going to be traveling by team charter? Is the MLB going to transport them by private jet? Because, if they are planning on flying these guys commercial, it would seem to be a massive hole in their plan.

This type of schedule is going to amplify the good and bad seasons. Someone might hit .400. Some superstar hitter could never get north .180. Some stud starter might not win a single game while pitching decently. A couple of key blown calls could cost a team its playoff seeding. Several teams will be well out of the playoff race by game 30.

Jacob deGrom goes 1-3 this year.

Jacob deGrom goes 1-3 this year.

And wins the Cy Young!

And wins the Cy Young!

If wins are still an important stat for voters, then it could be a reliever who wins it...

Jays had $7.454M left to sign Martin and Frasso. This leaves roughly $454,000 for Frasso.

Blue Jays, first-rounder Austin Martin agree to deal, pending physical

That gives them $7,454,824 of room to give to Martin and fourth rounder Nick Frasso without forfeiting future draft picks by exceeding their pool. That $7.45 million figure lands between the second and third overall slot bonus.

 

[xxOCZMSxx]

Lraves roughly $460,000 for Frasso if my math is correct.

Less than I thought. Thought he’d get around 7.2m

 

[NeverGoingToWin]

Great news.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Leaves exactly 454k on the dot for Frasso, which makes me believe Frasso has already agreed to that and Martin got every penny they had left.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Great news. Really starting to think Frasso may not sign.

This literally doesn't work without a signed Frasso as you lose money for not signing a player which would put them more than 5% over and cost them their 1st rounder next year. Frasso is also signed, it just might not be official.

Martin got the 2nd highest draft signing bonus to Torkelson. Detroit was locked in on Torkelson and he got 8.4M - no shot going there for Martin. Baltimore was never going to give you the full 7.8M so Baltimore passing on Martin wasnt a loss for him. Miami had 7.2M to give but they prefer the pitcher to go underslot. Maybe Martin would have liked to stay in the State of Florida but oh well. KC had Lacy higher.

Martin goes to a better team in the Jays and pretty much got the highest bonus he could have realistically got. Seems like a win-win-win for the Jays, Martin and Boras.

 

[metafour]

Great news. Really starting to think Frasso may not sign.

He will sign for the maximum amount they have left.

Why does this come up every year? He would not have been drafted had the budget not already been accounted for, period. Players do not drastically change their demands, that would be absurd coming from an agent.

What’s the highest round the current management group failed to sign a pick?

 

[metafour]

What’s the highest round the current management group failed to sign a pick?

They have signed EVERY Top 10 round pick they have made as far as I remember, which are the only rounds bound to the slotting system.

Their draft planning and execution is really outstanding.

 

[phillipmike]

 

[hoc123]

What’s the highest round the current management group failed to sign a pick?

13’th round in 2016, Chris Lincoln, at least according to Bluebird Banters draft signing table they do every year.

Chris Lincoln in the 13th round in 2016.

5 Blue Jays to watch at the plate this season

Martin could surprise

 

[Canada4Gold]

Unless one of the reported numbers is wrong that's 5k over the 5% limit though?

5th overall: $6,180,700
42nd overall: $1,771,100
77th overall: $805,600
106th overall: $549,000
136th overall: $410,100
Total: $9,716,500

Plus 5%: $10,202,325

$7,000,825 + $1,800,000 + $850,000 + $459,000 + $97,500 = 10,207,325

So are the reported numbers for 1 of these guys wrong/rounded off or are the Jays bad at math?

 

[metafour]

They're using the $2,500 accounting trick, I believe.
