How much longer until we start downgrading free agents due to lack of spring training?
Good question. Opening Day is three weeks away. Most hitters and relief pitchers feel ready in about three weeks, but starting pitchers tend to need 4-6 weeks to build up arm strength and get used to facing MLB quality hitters.
For anyone yet to draft, how much are you discounting Conforto at this point? Will he sign before the season starts?
Gotta figure he would still be going in a similar range, team or not, coming off such a bad year. NFBC draft champions he is going around the likes of Soler, Happ, Duvall, pollock, Blackmon...i'd probably rather have all of them vs. Conforto no matter where he signs. So I guess Im discounting him more even before we consider his FA status

Interesting. I'd put Soler and Happ ahead of him, but I like him more than the rest. But I guess it depends on where and when he signs.

Totally bizarre he hasn't signed yet. He really screwed the pooch declining the Mets 9-figure deal last year. Now he's likely going to settle for a one or two year prove it type deal. With the Amateur Draft moved to the AS Break, it would be suicidal to wait out the draft pick compensation, but stranger things have happened.

With the QO is anyone really going to give up a pick for 1-2 years of Conforto?
