“After much thought,prayer & analysis of both opportunities”
Man, he Really threw religon in you’re face didn’t he?
If he signed with the Pirates would you’re focus really be on his religon?

A minor setback. We move on and continue to build.

I hope he drops Boras. What use is a High-profile agent to these draftable players now? And a what if he falls to 9 next year? Sign for slot, sucker…

Oh well, the Bucs have a shot at having 3 of the top 40 or so picks next year. Frankly, I’d rather have three SS prospects in the organization right now than Appel.

Yeah….he’s going to be a Senior. What options does he have other than to go to Independent Ball? His advisor Borasinine screwed him royally.

So Boras lost him 5 mil, and he just lost himself another 2 probably. Hello 5 grand next year, a la stallings this year. Lol

Appel is a Boras client. The only thing that matters is money. Not sure this decision helps him financially but so be it. He sure is taking a big gamble though.

My hope is that Appel is on the board when the Pirates choose at #9 next year.
