Radio silence on Kumar Rocker

[NighthawkVol]

Vandy is gonna luck out and get him back next year, aren’t they?

How the New York Mets messed up with the Kumar Rocker draft selection

SIAP, and sorry GA if you already know about this, I had no idea.

I think they sign him...if not they lose the money because they didn't take a chance on a high school kid in later rounds as backup...this guy agrees

 

[vol66]

We’ll know before 5pm tomorrow.

I thought my Royals were insane for not taking him at #7. It kind of makes sense now.

I’ve met his parents. Nice folks, but they come with their problems.

I though the deadline was yesterday. Thanks for clarifying.

Kid threw a massive amount of breaking balls for a power pitcher..

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I’ve got a bad feeling for this kid. I bet he has Tommy John surgery and will struggle to ever get back.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Pouty and high maintenance.

Nice to have in the playoffs.

Regular season; not so much.

 

[wmcovol]

TJ surgery, if rehabbed right, can increase velocity, but it takes about a year rehab. I doubt Rocker comes back to Vandy. If he has elbow issues the last thing he needs to do is hurt it playing again for Vandy. Rest might be all he needs. I think He’ll sit and wait for draft next year.

WOAH

*nods* WOW. It'll be interesting to see whether or not he heads back to Vandy.

 

[VolnJC]

WOAH

Wow this shocks me..it must be pretty bad...if they would rather eat 6 million than rehab him for a year

 

[Bigun]

If he does, does he pitch next year.

 

[OldTimer]

If he does, does he pitch next year.

If he does, it would be very limited innings IMO. I’d say he’s better off rehabilitating all year as I’d prefer not to see him again……

The Mets will get to save $6 mil & get a compensatory pick in next yr draft if they don’t sign him. Rocker could be the big loser here.

So they can spend that money on free agency or does it have to go as a bonus for draft signing?

That's draft money only. They lose it or save it depending how you look at it.

For real. What are your thoughts on us trading out Soler and Duffy? I’m actually a fan of moving both. But better hope our farm system keeps getting stronger and evaluations are accurate.

Good! We can light him up next year and maybe cause his stock to dwindle even more!
GBO!!

Always liked Duffy so hate to see him go but he deserves a chance to go back to California and win a World Series. I was indifferent on Soler. I am just glad we got something for him with a sub .200 batting average. There was no way he was coming back here and the Royals could not get draft compensation because he would have jumped on the qualifying offer. Wish Mondesi could stay healthy to get a better read on this team.

My brother sent me a Cameo video from Brady Singer (Florida Gator on the Royals) for my birthday. He tried to get Singer to say "Go Vols" at the end of the message, but Singer refused.

This is a bad thing for Vandy. They over threw him and now caused an injury that blew his 1st round money. Corbin will be raked over coals foe this.
