Kolbey Carpenter (33) is listed on a preliminary Tri-City roster that I posted in the Minor League Thread. If you don't feel like going there, I'll post it again... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/JayneWTHB">@JayneWTHB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NickCassone">@NickCassone</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/itsDTrain">@itsDTrain</a> Here is one for you all <a href="http://t.co/U1Y7NQIOrL">pic.twitter.com/U1Y7NQIOrL</a></p>— Rob Witt (@Robert__Witt) <a href="https://twitter.com/Robert__Witt/status/611236241477124097">June 17, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Rodgers signing for $5.5MM is potentially huge for us. Probably means that Bregman agreed to take equal or even maybe less than that. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It's done: <a href="https://twitter.com/Rockies">@Rockies</a> sign No. 3 pick Brendan Rodgers.

That's also a pretty big savings for the Rockies... I thought the big concern with Rodgers was that he would want full slot.

It is interesting. I really don't see any way Bregman gets much more (if more at all) then $5.5MM now.
I'm pretty sure they already have an agreed upon deal with Bregman's advisor.... would be very surprised if there's much hold-up after LSU is finally eliminated.
After Astros sign all of the 12 picks in the first 10 rds, I wanna say Astros will have around a million left...I wanna say that would be enough to sign Patrick Sandoval...Which would make the Astros 2015 mlb draft class awesome A++
Catcher Kevin Martir (18th) signed Saturday with the Houston Astros organization. On 16th round pick Adam Whitt: Spoiler
Yes, but the team didn't want Rodgers. Maybe if he had fallen to 5, but they were never overly high on him.
Yeah I heard this as well...Rodgers stock had fallen off...Bregman and Swanson were look as the two top prospects. I'm very intrigued by Kyle Tucker, as a pure hitter it doesn't get better than him as a prospect....He only struck out 19 times as a 4 year starter varsity player in HS...Plus he already is above average as a power hitter and will only get much stronger and fill out muscle wise.
Without being drastically penalized, the Astros can make Baker an offer in the neighborhood of $1.5 million.

Schmidt, a native of St. Louis, was a 47th-round pick of the Cardinals in 2011. It was just an awful year for Stanford baseball. 8 appearances, 14.29 ERA, 5.2 IP, 13 H, 11 R (9 earned), 5 BB, 2 K, 3.46 WHIP, .448 opponent average Most appearances he made in his 4 years was in 2012, when he went 3-1 with 3 saves and a 3.98 ERA in 25 appearances.
