No disrespect intended to you of course.classy
I probably wouldn’t have posted if it weren’t for the thing Judge did

....and maybe sign a darning FA or two.
Altuve along with Correra are darning d-bag cheaters that have lost the respect of every baseball fan outside of Houston....forever.
Any idea why Rocker dropped all the way to #10?Jack is gonna be REALLY good.
Because he had some command issues this year, and at the highest level his stuff today is not as dominant as it would have seemed even two years ago.Any idea why Rocker dropped all the way to #10?

There’s also the economics … Rocker probably got an over-slot deal.
The teams right in front of the Mets - specifically the Royals, Rockies, Angels - all appear to have gone underslot.
Common draft tactic to save money early on so teams can spend it later.
still bitter?
the astros cheated, the interesting thing is how baseball continues to protect the yanks, red sox, and dodgers yet the astros are the really bad guys.
doesn't matter, the win wasn't taken away, they beat the yankees when mccullars threw 22 straight curve balls to close the yanks out, but i guess knowing what is coming only helps when you can hit it, and they beat the dodgers in dodger stadium.
what will really be funny is when correra signs elsewhere and he suddenly gets accepted
I am...had they just apologized and moved on, kinda like Andy Pettit I woulda been ok with then. But they've been defiant, smug liars. So unbecoming. And I seriously doubt Correa gets accepted anywhere...they both have scarlet letters.
But I agree on Boston, NYY and the Dodgers. I hate them also.
Really, it's all about the above three, and the manner in which MLB decided to scapegoat one team while actively covering up what the others did. Additionally, I'm sure each and every team had an operation going using video and heavy analysis to try and get an edge. As I understand it, the NY and LA systems were the most thorough, but we never heard about those because Manfred and his minions covered it up.I am...had they just apologized and moved on, kinda like Andy Pettit I woulda been ok with then.

Rocker was telling teams picking up top that he would take a below slot deal. He fell because his stuff was very up and down this year.

As a high schooler in Oregon, Zavala was named the state’s 6A Player of the Year in 2018, but wasn’t considered much of a pro prospect and headed to the University of Oregon. After an ordinary freshman year, Zavala hit .418, albeit without any power in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. He showed that was no fluke as he hit .392/.525/.628 in 2021 to go from a mildly intriguing college performer to one of the better pure college bats in a class that has lacked that category, one who was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year and was a Golden Spikes Award finalist.
A left-handed hitter, Zavala has long shown an incredible knack for contact, rarely swinging and missing and walking more than he’s struck out in his Ducks career. He keeps his bat head in the zone for a long time with excellent pitch recognition, spraying the ball to all fields, mostly with gap power, but showing some ability to occasionally pull the ball with more authority this year. He’s gotten a bit faster as he’s matured and is considered an average runner now.
Zavala has played both third and the outfield at Oregon, but focused solely on the latter in 2021 and was much more comfortable there, playing right field regularly, though left might be the best spot for him at the next level given his average-at-best arm. Given the lack of standout performers and the fact that Zavala’s data will tick off boxes in analytic departments, he could come off the board in the top three rounds.
