He's committed to Arkansas; they're trying to sign him. Nats bring 12th-rounder Ray in for visit By Ben Goessling, August 14, 2010 5:47 PM The Nationals have less than three days to sign their picks from the 2010 draft, and with some players, that means jumping into the recruiting game like college programs do. Enter Robbie Ray, a high school left-hander from Brentwood, Tenn., who throws between 90 and 92 mph, boasts a sharp changeup and pitched three perfect games last year. He only slid that far in the draft because he was already committed to the University of Arkansas, one of the country's pre-eminent baseball programs. The team brought Ray and his family to Nationals Park this weekend to show him "our campus," general manager Mike Rizzo said. "He's got a full ride to the University of Arkansas, which is a very good baseball school and a good institution," Rizzo said. "We're just going to show him what we're all about. He's a 12th-round pick because he had a full commitment to a university. We see his ability as being great ability - a left-handed pitcher that our scouts and our scouting director just loved. Instead of just letting him go to school and blowing it off, we're making every effort to impress him with our organization and show him what professional baseball can mean to him down the road and give him an alternative to think about, rather than just going to the University of Arkansas." -------- Bryce Harper going back to school? 'Hell, no' By Adam Kilgore | August 12, 2010; 5:34 PM ET Tyler Hanks probably has more insight into first overall pick Bryce Harper than anyone in the Nationals organization. Hanks, a 17th-round choice currently pitching like one of the more promising members of the Nationals 2010 draft class, played with Harper this past season, serving as the closer for the College of Southern Nevada. Hanks cherished playing with Harper -- "I love the kid to death," he said -- and he firmly believes it won't be long before they're teammates again. Is there any chance, Hanks was asked this afternoon, that Harper goes back to school? "Hell, no," Hanks said. "You don't take your GED and show everybody that you're ready to play this game, ready to move up, so you can go back to school." Harper, who left high school a year early to attend CSN this past season, has enrolled in classes at CSN, which is standard procedure for draft picks who are in negotiations. The Nationals must sign Harper, 17, before the deadline at midnight on Monday, or they'll lose out on the reigning Golden Spikes Award winner, one of the most prolific power-hitting prodigies in history. Hanks has not spoken with Harper since about a week after the June 7 draft, and he was simply offering his opinion. Having played with Harper and come to know him, Hanks feels Harper is biding his time in order to rest after a stressful season, not to drive up the Nationals' price. "He better be a damn National," Hanks said. "I don't think it's the money. His mom and dad have good money. For $10 million, you could live the rest of your life on that. I think he's waiting until the end of the deadline to rest, to take time off. I know that he's probably taking his hacks. I just think, honestly, he's just taking his time off. How can you get your GED and do all that and not sign? I honestly think he's just taking a rest." The Nationals and Scott Boras, Harper's high-profile representative, have yet to engage in final negotiations about Harper, but top picks rarely sign until minutes before the deadline. Surely, the sides have spoken. On Friday night in Los Angeles, as the Nationals played the Dodgers, Boras and Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo sat next to Boras for several innings behind home plate at Dodgers Stadium. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/nationalsjournal/2010/08/bryce_harper_ going_back_to_sch.html http://is.gd/ehWt4 Saturday update on Bryce Harper and the Nationals By Ben Goessling, August 14, 2010 6:08 PM General manager Mike Rizzo gave the media an update on the Bryce Harper negotiations earlier this afternoon - and like team president Stan Kasten'scomments on the subjectyesterday, it mostly amounted to a lot of posturing. For the Nationals, that's probably a good sign, because it means things are still on track. Rizzo expects things to go down to Monday night's deadline, as almost everyone in baseball has all summer, but sounded confident the Nationals will get a deal done for the No. 1 overall pick. "Speaking specifically of (Harper), it's a player that we really want in the organization," Rizzo said. "The talks and negotiations are always difficult, and they're always unique. This is a unique situation, just like Stephen (Strasburg) is a unique situation, just like when I signed Justin Upton (in Arizona) was a unique situation. We're battling through it. We don't make a big public display, but suffice to say, we're working on it." There isn't likely to be much more substance in any public comments about Harper until early Tuesday morning. But it still seems hard to believe the two sides won't come to a deal. http://www.masnsports.com/the_goessling_game/2010/08/saturday-update-on -bryce-harper-and-the-nationals.html http://is.gd/ehXxg -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ※ 編輯: mohicans 來自: 114.45.190.120 (08/15 06:33)
