“There are guys asking for a ridiculous amount, and you wonder if they’re here to play or if they just want more money. I’m sure it factors in. I’m here to play baseball, and you can sign me and I’ll be ready to go.”
Gotta love hearing that. Aside from Borchering, other notables left to be signed are Chris Owings (SS, Supplemental 1st), Eric Smith (RHP, 2nd), Matt Helm (local 3B from Chandler, 7th rounder), and Patrick Schuster (the high school lefty who threw four consecutive no hitters, 13th round pick, apparently looking for 2nd round money).
