Fun coaching pickup for the Bobcats, even funnier job title

Season 2 Nbc GIF by The Office

Agreeing to asst coach at TxState is hilarious. Doesn't DP still have 2yrs of payout from Texas at $1.2mil/yr ?

Guess his old lady is mad as hell, and said go back to work asshole... 😋

I also forgot about Gage. If the reports of him coming back are true, then i’d bet he’s a strong contender to be a weekend starter. 

OB walked it back. Out of D1 eligibility due to playing at 3 Jucos including just 1 IP at one stop. 

Give your $9.95 to NIL, folks

100%. Ace should some velo back, he clearly knows how to pound the strikezone. With better coaching I see no reason he can’t be a weekend starter again.

I’d much rather have him first outta the bullpen or closer. Depends on what happens with Mercer

If Mercer can close and we can find him a set up guy, I can see Gage being a starter. Then again they would be a helluva 1-2 punch out of the pen. At least we know he can do both.

The thing is one of atm’s best starters never touched 91 consistently. Weiner can develop Ace in to a good starter and his injury made him look worse than he should have been this year. 

Only 1 year of data but what Weiner did with the aggy pitching staff last year was the best coaching job in the country. 

I don't think they had top-10ish talent on the mound but still finished #4 in team ERA. The two pitchers that were drafted high were Cortez and Prager who were far from spectacular before Weinrer. 

Cortez went from a 7.74 ERA in '23 to 2.78 in '24. Prager went from a 5.16 ERA in '22 (major injury) to 2.95 ERA in '24. That pitching staff last year was not loaded with talent or proven production but Weiner made it work.

Gotta get to that TRS vested number.

It's not a bad gig for Pierce, he can coast on his Texas buyout and stay in the game without having to move. Plus you figure that the Rice and/or UH gigs will open up in the next couple of years

Seriously? Him being back would give us title contender status. Dude is a lockdown pitcher.

Texas state better not let him handle 3rd base.

Per @Hookem75 DeGroat has been picked in the 14th  

 

They should all make it to campus. I guess they could have big bonus pool money thrown at them, but I doubt it.

The Royals apparently can make a run for DeGroat.

No, they target players in the later rounds and throw extra money at them that they have left over in their bonus pool.  They usually already know how much money it will take from conversations with the player's agent.

He's gonna sign for 14th round money?

They normally go over slot in these rounds with bonus pool money. 

Never say never but he's likely gone. They wouldn't have drafted him if they didn't think he would sign.

.190 baa and of his 11 ER allowed, 4 were in 1 appearance vs ole miss where he got 2 outs but walked 3 (out of 15 on the season) and gave up one hit. 
 

Seems like a good addition.

Looks like we lose the three top HS commits, and three roster players?  Not sure how to scan the tracker to see if anybody portal'd here and then still stayed in the draft.

RHP grad transfer from Penn, Eli Trop, was drafted in the 16th round by the Phillies

Is anyone keeping an eye on the numbers? *ducks*

Texas is over. It doesn't matter. The roster will shrink via Fall Ball when it must. I'd rather have plus numbers with ensuing competition than the opposite scenario.

I hope they used extra money and paid him well over a 14th round normal contract.  Otherwise, he probably should have come to Texas.  Good luck to him.

I think turf is fine for the field, but we need to go back to dirt base paths and batters boxes. The turf there has got to go

Este. Fucking stupid, and it pisses me off.
