Anyone able to elaborate as to why Davenport got so much over slot? I understand he had some leverage with the ability to return to school but as far as scouting reports and rankings I'm having a tough time finding much on him.
 
Pleasantly happy with a lot of those deals.

Able to confirm #Indians have signed 17 of their 21 picks from the 2021 Draft. Still waiting confirmation on these last four players:
10th Round RHP Aleman Franco
13th Round RHP Davis Sharpe
17th Round RHP Tyler Thornton
20th Round RHP Jake Miller
 
More draft signing news... (Willie is part of the IBI team)

Jake Miller is the lone unsigned draft pick for CLE. I liked him as high as rd 7; I thought he might go in the 8-10 rd range. We'll see if he gets signed, but he could pitch himself into the round 3-4 range. But going back to school can be risky, too (see: Mace, Bibee, Denholm).

Did the Tribe require them all to where Khakis?

Its like Cleveland Indian's signing day was sponsored by Dockers.

The Cleveland Dockers was the 3rd runner up to the Guardians according to my sources...
 
Why was Pettway posing with Frank Thomas for his photo?
