The International ma...Agree with all that you say. The International market is way inflated for the talent you get. You overpay. That is why I don't advocate overpaying every year. That being said, with a guy like Robert being that much head and shoulders above others in this FA amateur class, you go out on a limb. Looking at our top 2 round picks in the last 10 years, the draft is not a sure thing, either. More sure than giving 16 year olds $5 million. However, we should have the money to spend as we won't have to, or be able to, use it on the draft. We have to invest our capital in players and Robert, no matter what the risk, is the kind of guy you roll the dice with.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17359475151617294523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269328439167290939.post-31729491356207849332017-04-23T15:59:40.280-07:002017-04-23T15:59:40.280-07:00What do you figure his ceiling is?

At this point you'd have to say that Abreau is the only guy outplaying a monster international FA contract, not a great track record. Puig exceeded value for 2.5 years before getting demoted, probably the only other guy in the conversation. Thames could get there soon.
