    Pirates don't really have a glorious track record with developing pitching. Now they have the raw talent can they keep them healthy and get them to realize their potential?

    If the Pirates sign Appel, they will have a very impressive with Tallion, Cole, and Appel.

    Point of clarification on the slotting bonuses. Am I understanding the budget is the amount set for a team's first 10 rounds, right? So while maybe the amount showing for #8 isn't the max they can pay, but the difference has to be made somewhere else. If so, I could see they could go up some, but they'll be sacrificing on some other draft pick (meaning, likely, they'll choose some later picks for affordable signability). Am I making sense with that?

    And they already have McDonald at the major league level, if they can retain his services.

    Going to be a fun decade or so with lots of duels between the Reds and Pirates, methinks.

    I liked Heaney, think he can be good.

    Yeah, if only the Reds hadn't neglected sucking as much as the Pirates the last few years, their future could be just as bright.

    Prettty much the way I understand it but if you don't sign a pick you lose his "slot money"

    Hawkins makes a nice addition to that list.

    I'd still not be surprised if the Reds select Stephen Piscotty at #14
