I very highly doubt that a four star general is running around threatening to kill people over baseball. That would be extremely strange behavior for someone in his position.
I get wanting to let Galvan develop but we are one good starting pitcher away from being a legitimate national title contender. In that position you need to upgrade your roster as much as possible. Most years Galvan should be a shoe in to start but maybe not this year.
Galvan only has a spot by default. He has not earned the starting catcher spot at this time. I would actually have preferred we got a catcher instead of another infielder in Storm. Glad to have Storm but I think catcher is our big weakness right now.
Brock Cunningham will consume our opponents with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse. He will lead us to a national championship.
That’s just your standard college football team entrance, nothing special. The only unique thing about it is that they have the players run past 2 lines of cosplaying homosexuals. Which is actually pretty progressive for that school.
They have some leverage but not much. Could refuse to sign and go play oversees where they won’t get paid anything. I would have at least tried to play chicken with the team. If the team doesn’t sign the player they lose the slot allotment.
Teams only lose money by going up to 5% over their allotment. Anything more than that and they start losing draft picks, including a 1st round pic. You could make the argument that it’s worth it. If a team could get multiple guys to sign who normally wouldn’t in that situation then it might make sense. It wouldn’t make sense to pick up only one more player.
This is not true. Going pro now does not necessarily put you two years closer to your MLB debut. It could also cost him money in the long run. College players are getting to the ML much faster than high school guys.
