Q. Is Cruz worth a draft pick, even if he plays for free?
A. There is such a thing as an MLB Top 100 Prospects list, on which Taijuan Walker and James Paxton reside.
There is another thing, the Amateur Draft list, on which Josh Fields resides. Those are two different things. The Draft List is a lesser thing.

A new invasive species was first spotted in Texas in 2002 and has since grown to epic proportions: the Raspberry crazy ant (named after the man who first discovered them, an exterminator named Tom Raspberry). The ants like to nest in electronics, and “come pouring out” in tidal waves, truly mind-boggling numbers, piles of ants, billions of ants, ants everywhere, do you feel a little tickle inside your pants leg now?

An interesting issue comes up: would you ever see a high-profile Team LeBron scenario sign with the Mariners, even if the Mariners were the only team offering a trophy contract? Or would the endorsement situation -- not the winning situation, but the endorsement situation -- preclude that?
I don't know the answer. Here are a few thoughts that come to mind. Hopefully you've got better than this :- )
My own instincts run to two basic ideas: (1) there is no city in the world like New York. (2) You can definitely do business in Seattle, my friend.

Reasons the M's Might NOT Close Escrow
I think that everybody on SSI, every single poster, is skeptical about ever seeing a Robinson Cano press conference here. Off site, it's worse, of course.
I'm no different.

Reason #1 that the M's MIGHT Close Escrow
The Yankees appear to be absolutely resolved about not giving Robinson Cano a deal anywhere near $200 million.
Just for instance, they fought a bitter war with Derek Jeter about money, were totally prepared to lose him, twice. They are now treating Robinson Cano -- in their minds -- more fairly than they treated Jeter. And we both know that Robinson Cano is not Derek Jeter.
He is not comparable to Derek Jeter. In the long history of Yankee icons, Jeter would remain standing if you whittled the line down to six or eight. To cave in further to Cano would widdle all over that relationship that they have with Jeter.
We're not saying that it's unthinkable, exactly, that the Yankees would go over $200M to keep Cano. But you, as an M's fan, should be reasoning that they probably will not.
