Yes, I know he got drafted and his slot money is around the $250,000 (correct me if I am wrong on this).
Can someone much more able to remember than I, tell me what TB finally offered last year after discovering Rasmussens arm was not sound? If I remember correctly, wasn't it around the same amount of money give or take here or there?
If I am correct with my assumptions and knowing what a late first round draft picks slot money is......why wouldn't he come back to OSU by getting a medical hardship year, prove his arm was sound after the second Tommy John surgery, and move way up on the draft board the the correlating slot money? The upside could amount to millions of dollars while doing something he obviously loves to do and that is pitch for the Beavs. The downside?.......would be missing out on the current slot pick $ plus future salaries if his arm was sound. (If his arm wasn't sound none of this theory would matter as the drafting team will undoubtedly have his arm thoroughly checked before ever signing him) However wouldn't, by pitching one more "proving" year with the Beavs, he then get those successive years salaries but probably at a high rate of salary being a higher pick. The higher slot money and salary would more than make up for the current slot money in a short amount of time. A Rasmussen, Fehmel and Abel starting rotation would be formidable.
Out there for debate but this makes sense to me.
