J.P. - you think Appel gets signed? Giolito?

No way to know. Hopefully both.

my gut is good at calling these things...it says Appel yes, Giolito no.

Love it! So does he go to Peoria?

Man a future OF of Soler and Almora and Rizzo and Castro in the INF should be fun

Love it! So does he go to Peoria?

I asked Callis that question, but no response. I'd assign him there if it was up to me.

 

[Ian Stewart]

Send him to AZ.

Miami Marlins do not come to terms with first-round pick Heaney
by: Juan C. Rodriguez July 12th, 2012 | 11:39 AM
The deadline to sign draft picks isn’t until Friday at 5 p.m., but a source confirmed the Marlins have told first-round pick Andrew Heaney they will not be signing him. Jim Callis of Baseball America first reported the news.

The Marlins’ offered $2.6 million, $200,000 less than the slot amount for the ninth overall pick. Heaney, a left-hander out of Oklahoma State, would not settle for anything less than the full $2.8 million. Per club policy, the Marlins require a physical and full bloodwork before consummating a deal. They no longer have time to complete it before Friday’s deadline.

The Marlins continue negotiating with third-round pick Avery Romero, a shortstop out of Menendez High School in St. Augustine, Fla.

What would compensation be next year for failure to sign? Not that next year's class is even halfway decent.

10th pick next year.

We have a roster spot ready for Heaney in Falmouth.

Orioles "Likely" To Sign Kevin Gausman
By Mark Polishuk [July 12, 2012 at 10:11pm CST]
The Orioles have made "significant progress" in negotiations with first-round draft pick Kevin Gausman and a "deal seems likely" before tomorrow's signing deadline, tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.

 

[Jaypers]

All's well after all, Alex. :mrgreen:

Heaney added to OP.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA
#Marlins, 1st-rder Andrew Heaney have agreed on $2.6 million. #OklahomaState LHP was most polished arm in #mlbdraft.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA
The lesson with #Marlins "walking away" from Heaney: Don't believe #mlbdraft negotiation rhetoric.

4 more remain.

 

[beefycheddar]

Really psyched for Heaney although would have loved to see him here for a playoff push.
