So where does Aiken pitch this season? Greeneville only?
Brian McTaggart @brianmctaggart · 23s
CORRECTS: Aiken throws a 2-seam, 4-seam fastball, curveball, changeup. He recently scrapped CUTTER because of rash of arm injuries.
Bradley Zimmer looks like he could be the younger brother of the character Schmidt from "The New Girl".Or the son of Jaws from the Roger Moore James Bond movies.
Derek Fisher. Nice.Don't know anything about him. BA report says he has 70 raw power, below-average defender, power hasn't really shown up in games. What's your take?

Had a .453 OBP in the Cape, projects as plus hitter for average and power. He should be an average runner, also. He's fairly raw for a college player, but has really good upside. The MLB broadcast harped on the Virginia home park robbing powe, so it should be fun to watch him in pro ball.

The Rangers took Fisher in the 6th round in 2011 and were not able to sign him. Fisher was one of the top HS bats in that class and wanted a large amount. He has major upside as astrosfan stated.
Law had Fisher as a mid-1st round talent. Had surgery to repair a hamate bone injury prior to the season.
Stats from Cape Cod league...134AB, 42 Hits with 6 doubles.....not a lot of power.Hasn't shown power a lot in games, true. BA's scouting report says 70 raw power.

Keith Law ranked Fisher #15 on his list.
Right....but I am a bit perplexed. While at Va for 3 years he hit a total of 17 HR's. Even if he has such raw power, with such a lack of game performance it seems he should be too speculative for such a high pick.I hear you. If nothing else this demonstrates that the Astros rely on scouts and projection too, not just stats.

Sounds right-there must be something there which isn't evident in the stats.
Considering where he was drafted/ranked out of HS, and considering where he was projected/taken this year, obviously a lot of scouts see something in him. And yes UVA's park is huge, and the Cape is a pitcher's league where they use wooden bats.
But for someone as highly thought of, it is at least a bit surprising that the #s were as low as they were, especially someone projected with 70 power.
I have read Astros fans compare him to George Springer, saying they were both raw and extremely gifted and the numbers would come. Maybe so, but Springer absolutely raked all 3 years he was at UCONN, 337 was his lowest average and 12 homers his lowest HR total. He also homered several times on the Cape as a sophomore, and 3 times for TeamUSA before his junior season.

Only Springers last year was using a BBCOR bat. The other years are apples to oranges. The bat makes a big difference.

You have to wonder if they're not feeling comfortable enough with what's in the system to take a bit of a flier for the sake of low history but high upside.

This season, Radziewski has increased his velocity from 88 to 91-92 mph, raising his draft status after putting on ten pounds to his once 5'10/195 frame. His 77-81 mph slurve is still an above average pitch that he commands well for punch outs, while his 80-81 mph changeup is still a bit of a work in progress. Tag that along with his two-seamer, slider, and cutter, and you can see why he's excelled this season: currently fifth in the ACC in strikeouts (61 K's).

The two best arms in Oklahoma this year belong to a pair of Northeastern Oklahoma A&M JC right-handers, Deetz and Jake Jewell. A redshirt freshman, Deetz isn't as refined as Jewell and missed all of 2013 recovering from Tommy John after his final season of high school, but he has better breaking stuff and a chance to make it as a starter.Deetz showed an 89-90 mph fastball and a promising slider in the fall, and his velocity has exploded this spring. He has worked at 92-94 mph and peaked at 98, and his slider has climbed into the mid-80s. He also throws an effective curveball, but his changeup will need a lot of work. Deetz has an exceptionally quick arm but is still learning to harness it. He has trouble throwing strikes and locating his pitches on a consistent basis. He's a good athlete who was a star running back at Nixa (Mo.) High, so there's hope he'll be able to figure it out.
Rank: 57 Mac Marshall LHP Parkview HS, Lilburn, Ga.
Scouting Report:
Marshall comes from a powerhouse program that won the 2012 national high school championship and consistently has produced draft talent, including 2012 supplemental first-rounder Matt Olson and 2013 supplemental first-rounder Josh Hart. The loose, athletic Marshall could continue that streak. After touching 94 mph on the showcase circuit and sitting in the low 90s at some events, he has played at 87-90, touching 92 this spring. Marshall has advanced feel and ability to manipulate two secondary pitches that show at least above-average potential. His changeup is a plus offering with tremendous tumble. He shows the ability to vary the shape of his curveball, shows a good feel for pitching and projects to have at least average control. Marshall throws from a high three-quarters arm slot and can get downhill plane, but his fastball tends to be flatter and he tends to work up toward the higher end of his velocity range, making him more of a flyball-oriented pitcher at the pro level. Marshall has an athletic build but limited physical projection. Both of his parents attended Georgia, but he changed his commitment from the school to sign with Louisiana State.
Callis has tweeted that Aiken and Astros have agreed on a $6.5m bonus, which would leave them an extra $1.4m to spend elsewhere.
I just can't figure out where to spend that money.

If they're going to pry Mac Marshall away LSU, they may need all of it.Exactly. Marshall (rd 21) and maybe to a lesser extent Nix (rd 5) are the obvious tough-sign guys.

“It doesn’t at all have any disappointment,” McMullen said. “I’ve kind of been the underdog in baseball my whole life. I’m just excited to get this going.”
On Saturday, highly touted lefty Mac Marshall pulled into Baton Rouge to move into a dorm ahead of summer school, and the fact the Houston Astros tabbed him in the 21st round with the No. 616 pick may keep him there.
“I’ll be down moving in this afternoon,” Marshall said during the final leg of Saturday’s drive.
Exactly. Marshall (rd 21) and maybe to a lesser extent Nix (rd 5) are the obvious tough-sign guys.

@brianmctaggart: That's that. RT @macmarshall19 I will be playing at LSU this year, but I'd like to thank @astros for drafting me ...
The last two years they've taken extra tough-sign HS kids after the 10th round, presumably so they would have leverage and/or options if they couldn't reach a deal with their top choice(s). But I'm not sure who else besides Marshall falls into that category this year.

Last year they ended up having quite a bit of money left over from their pool ($1m or so?). I'd hate to see that happen again... seems like someone badly misjudged their chances of signing Marshall.
He’s got a good way about him. He’s got great presence. The skill is obviously seeable, how valuable he is to Gary and those kids. It would be understated if you said anything. So I think he has to be seen as one of those guys who could be the Player of the Year in a lot of people’s eyes.”
Tim Corbin, Vanderbilt
The reason they had a good amount of money left last year was due to the fact that they thought Manaea would fall to their second pick but the Royals surprised everyone by taking Dozier at 8 and then popped Manaea in the 30's before the Astros' second rounder.
They took the second most expensive player at 1-1 with Bryant being only slightly more expensive. So no matter who they picked at 1-1 they were going to have about the same amount of money left in their pool. So it's not like they tried to have extra cash. And since Manaea was picked before the Astros second pick, they had plenty of time to draft a tougher sign. Your logic for "The reason they had a good amount of money left last year" seems flawed. And I read nothing that said they were expecting Manaea. Maybe they were hoping he or someone else would be there.
Bryant would have wanted closer to the full slot amount at 1-1. He held out until near the signing deadline in order to get 6.7 million from the Cubs which was the full amount assigned for pick 1-2 (6,708,400 to be exact). Appel was an easier and cheaper sign due to him being a senior and a hometown guy. Why not take Appel when he's seen as an equal talent to Bryant, is from Houston, and also would give them more leftover cash to work with on a guy like Manaea? Manaea wanted over 3 million. Manaea was one of the only big-time tough-sign guys that they saw in the draft and they wanted him at 2-1.

“Our assessment of the Draft class last year was that we didn’t feel like it was particularly deep. There weren’t obvious high school players with strong college commitments or who got hurt during the season or had a big [bonus] number. We had hard time seeing who those players were. The year before, we had a list and Lance and Rio were on it. We do have a feel for it and try to take that into account. Last year, [Sean] Manaea was the the big one and we were poised to consider him with our second pick but the Royals took him.

The point is they took Appel not for the money but they thought he was BPA. I have not read anything different. Manaea was one of the few players they were hoping they could catch in the 2nd round because they had extra cash. They had extra money because they felt there was no one to spend it on due to a weak draft class, not because of a failed expectation.

McTaggart today:Another McBraggart fail ... is anyone still counting? Can anyone count that high? Does anyone actually care anymore?
The Astros have signed 28 of their 40 selections from the 2014 MLB Draft. (http://brianmctaggart.mlblogs.com/2014/06/19/astros-sign-a-bunch-of-draft-picks/)
Wrong. First it's 41 selections, not 40. Second, guys who've signed but haven't been reported by him include current Tri-City players Ryan Bottger, Jamie Ritchie, Nick Tanielu and Alex Hernandez as well as current GCL player Ben Smith (albeit on the DL).
28 plus those 5 players unreported by him adds up to 33 players signed. That leaves 8 unsigned ("expected to signs" Aiken, Mentgen and Greenwood plus "unknowns/doubtfuls/no chance in hells" Fisher, Marshall, Kahana, Foster and Antchak).
Multiple sources, including the player himself, confirming that Aiken is in Houston to finalize his contract.

Tri City?I'm planning to go to a TC game this Sunday. Hopefully Fisher is active by then. That'll be a pretty interesting lineup, with him, Reed, and Davis.
Saw a number of ABs in the CWS. He seemed to have more of a pound in the ground stroke than either a line drive stroke or stroke with any loft. He did make a lot of solid contact though, and its not hard to imagine him being a good hitter and adding power with the instruction he will receive.

I thought, reading here, that some scouts projected him to have power, but people questioned that if that was the case, then why were his power numbers pedestrian in college. I don't know if he will eventually have power or not, but presume the power projection is predicated on swing changes he will make once he gets into pro baseball. Or, maybe I just caught the wrong ABs or don't know what I'm looking at.
Virginia's ballpark is an offense killer.
What is going on with Aiken?
Bad news comes in 3's: Appel, Correa, ......
As I pointed out in the GZ, Luhnow said it was common for 1-1's to take to the deadline (July 18th) to sign and they were working hard on getting it done. He didn't sound like someone covering up a failed physical or something.
He also taked about how Appel was improving and he expected to see him in CC after 2-3 more starts in Lancaster.

It's probably about the money as it usually is.

So, he fell in the draft because of his strong commitment to LSU and now drops out a few weeks in? Whatever.Yeah, it definitely makes you question the integrity of guys like Bickford and Marshall when they bail on their college programs at the last minute. I suppose it's naive of me to expect 18- or 19-year old prospects to have more maturity and integrity and not be completely selfish. I like to think that the Astros have always made character a crucial component of drafting decisions.

Now, none of the three high school pitchers from the class of 2014 is in a four-year college. Aiken and Nix have UCLA commitments, and while neither is necessarily expected to play for the Bruins, UCLA’s fall semester doesn’t begin until Oct. 2, so that door is not yet closed.
Or perhaps this Selig thing required Marshall not to attend college.
It's likely both Marhsall and Nix's deals were all but inked but weren't signed due solely to the CBA financial restrictions. If a case can be made that Aiken's signing should of happened but didn't due to circumstances outside the power of the Astros and Aiken then a correction there could logically trickle down to Nix and Marshall. Long shot but given Selig's odd statement something must be going on.
The only one known to have greived is Nix. Marshall could not have been a part of that nor would he need to be to bail on LSU and go JUCO.
I would think the more likely scenario is that something happened at LSU that we will never know of and/or Marshall saw the $ for what it is and decided waiting 3 years to get it and hoping he didn't get injured wasn't the best plan.
What you are saying is likely the scenario, but Selig's comments suggested Aiken's situation and not Nix was in play. What if Aiken never got the 5 million offer due to circumstances outside of his control? I've not read anything saying that Aiken turned down the offer. Only that the Astros got no response. If Aiken is signed at 5 then the Nix grievance is easily resolved. But the Astros could also easily argue that the 5 million offer was made with the understanding they would sign Marshall as well.
Regardless, unless Marshall is part of the grievance he can't be required by MLB to do anything.

The group of 12 players, all natives of California, are right-handers Jake Bird (West Ranch HS), Griffin Canning (Santa Margarita HS), Nathan Hadley (Loyola HS), Matt Trask (Davis HS) and Matt Walker (Clovis North HS), left-hander Garrett Barker (Laguna Hills HS), infielders Sean Bouchard (Cathedral Catholic HS), Zander Clarke (Newbury Park HS), Scott Jarvis (Bellarmine HS) and Nick Valaika (Hart HS) and catchers Daniel Rosica (Fountain Valley HS) and Casey Worden (Saddleback JC).
Well, this was retweeted by Nix. Seems to put to bed any thought of a super late signing:Nix and possibly Aiken I could see having legitimate beef, but what in the fuck does Mac Marshall have cause to hate the Astros for or be upset about? He was asking for more money than teams thought he was worth, the Astros tried to oblige him but couldn't find the extra cap room. Happens to dozens of kids every single year.

In order to keep separate pre- and draft/post-draft threads, the '2014 Draftees and Status' thread is now open (conversely, the '2014 Draft thread’ (http://www.spikesnstars.com/forums/index.php?topic=115895.0) is now closed)...
The chart below will be updated to add draft results and signing status until the close of signings (note: the signing deadline for 2014 Rule 4 drafted players is 5 p.m. ET on July 18, 2014).

Marshall had nothing to do with the tweet or the retweet. So for all you know he loves the Astros and wants passionately to play for them one day.True. Maybe he even has a big Jeff Luhnow poster on his bedroom wall.
