Re: 2010 MLB Draft

Congratulations to Blake. I can't imagine how cool that must feel. Sure would like to see him in blue and yellow next year though.

Well he has until August 15th or so to sign a contract, if he doesn't sign he can return to SDSU and keep his eligibility.

Re: 2010 MLB Draft

Maybe someone knows more than I would, but I gotta think he would go much higher next year if he can come back and work a bit more on his breaking stuff and control.

Does it benefit him to come back for a year, or head off to the minors?

Re: 2010 MLB Draft

It would benefit him to go this year. Those players drafted as seniors when their eligibility is used up have no bargaining power as far as their contract goes because they don't have anywhere to go to play except to the team that drafts them.

Maybe someone knows more than I would, but I gotta think he would go much higher next year if he can come back and work a bit more on his breaking stuff and control.

He should probably go this year. If he waits until next year he would most likely have to be a top 5 or 10 round pick next year to get around the same bonus if even that. The bonus amount can play a big role into how the the player is advanced or how many years the player has to prove himself

Re: 2010 MLB Draft

He has no choice. He must go. He can always come back and get his degree.

Re: 2010 MLB Draft

Here is an example of bonus's...

Twins gave Michael Tonkin (Jason Kubel's bro-in-law) $230,000 he was drafted in the 30th round. now he was a high school arm

Twins gave Brian Dozier who was like a 6th round draft pick last year $20,000

It depends on what the offer is, but since he is a redshirt junior his age begins to hurt him also.

Unless they go really cheap he'd be best to sign.

Re: 2010 MLB Draft

Just look at the ORU pitchers from last year. Serrano was pitcher of the year but he was a 23 yr old senior and he signed for $25,000. You have to take advantage of whatever leverage you have and that window of opportunity can close very quickly. I think it is very unlikely that Blake will have a better financial opportunity next year even if he improves his draft standing. It pains me to say it but I think it's practically a necessity that he sign this year.

Re: 2010 MLB Draft

My son spoke to Blake today and he said he is getting ready to report to the Marlins short season Low A club in a few days. It's going to be fun to follow his progress as Blake begins a new chapter in his life.

Good luck Blake!

Re: 2010 MLB Draft

I just heard that Blake Treinen may indeed be back next season for the Jacks due to the Marlins being concerned about the results of his physical. If so then it is good for the Jacks, but I really feel bad for Blake.
