 Wonder when they will start going over slot with the $500,000ish they have saved so far.
Probably depends if they have to spend it or can just pocket the unspent dollars....

Hayden Yost is a curious pick. He doesn't even make Baseball America's top 500, and he's a junior so he can go back to school. I mean, if you're still trying to save money for a surprise pick down the road, wouldn't you sign a senior?

Henry Ford with the 6th round pick, 191 overall. I don't really get it. He's a right-handed hitter, not a great athlete. His sub-.300 batting average at Tennessee makes me think he's probably not a real prospect.

Wow we have now drafted two of Mike Ford's sons, Harry and Henry. Walter still toiling away in A ball. He is about toast...

Ford has some good pop too. 20 HRs in 272 PAs, good for a .964 OPS. Stocking up on SEC big boppers. I like it.

Yost and Ford should be able to compete for those several roster spots reserved for TOTAL HACKS WHO STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN AN OPS ABOVE .600 AND A NON-NEGATIVE WAR that Jerry usually fills through free agent signings.

I don't get Yost at all but Ford might have a chance....
