Part 1:...Nice interview with Panik at a Mets blog:<br /><br />Part 1: http://7traintoshea.com/?p=5896<br />Part 2: http://7traintoshea.com/?p=5905<br /><br />I especially loved the answer near the end of Part 1, about why he signed quickly, I think the exact same thing, while quibble over the small amount of money when you are delaying your development to make the majors. <br /><br />I understand the desire to get every single dollar you feel you are owed, particularly with the sad success rate of draftees doing well in the majors, but in my mind, if you are confident, those two extra months will get you to the majors at least two months earlier, and that covers most of the money you missed out by negotiating and signing at the last minute.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-62344204527099380102011-06-13T19:08:51.716-07:002011-06-13T19:08:51.716-07:00I expect Panik to get in a whole lot more work tha...I expect Panik to get in a whole lot more work than the equivalent of what Matt Cain got in the AZL and it will be at a higher level. I think Will Clark got in some significant time in the Cal League the same year as the draft. Since then, I don't think anything comparable has happened. Timmy signed pretty quickly and got into some Cal League games, so maybe him.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-66223758942095518572011-06-13T14:50:45.942-07:002011-06-13T14:50:45.942-07:00Actually Cain played in a little more than half th...Actually Cain played in a little more than half the AZL rookie league after being drafted. He actually signed barely two weeks after the draft (signing on June 26, 2002). He pitched in 8 games that season, though they kept his innings severely limited (only 19.1 IP in 8 games, with 7 starts!). The only players on that team who started more games than Cain were Jesse English, Osiris matos and Daniel Portorreal.Rogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-79634913660671345972011-06-13T12:44:06.713-07:002011-06-13T12:44:06.713-07:00No, Cainer got in just a few innings at the end of...No, Cainer got in just a few innings at the end of the Arizona Rookie league season.
