Does anyone know if he is pitching anywhere this summer? Could give him some innings on my DABA team.

You may have to check with his agent.

I understand! Anyway, the invitation is there if he wants it. No pressure, just come out there and work on his craft!
FD, You have a PM
In the paper article about him it said he was pitching for the 18 Tigers. Is that really possible? We had a senior who isn't eligible to play even in our 18 year old tournaments and yet Hancock can? I'm not saying this is fact by any means.
Since he hasn't been compensated, it wouldn't shock me.
I'm pretty sure he is eligible to participate in DABA. I don't think he can play for an AABC team unless it is 19U or higher (older?). The Dallas Tigers seldom focus on AABC beyond 16U, so it may depend on the tournaments they enter.
He can play in DABA. The majority of players in the league play college baseball. However, there are 2 teams comprised mainly of ex-professional players...they are pretty salty!!!
Here in lies the problem. Kyle a professional not a ex-professional. I may be wrong but I do not think he qualify`s (being a active professional player)for summer ball as has been stated before on one of Kyle`s thread.
good point high heat
Heard he was going back to the pros anyways. Who knows, I don't think he does at this point..
Kyle Hancock CANNOT play for anyone but the ROCKIES. PERIOD. He is under contract to the Rockies. WHY, is everyone not understanding that he SIGNED a CONTRACT with the Rockies? He has not been released but HAS BEEN put on the RESTRICTED LIST. Kyle is exclusive property to the Rockies. He HAS NOT been compensated because it states in the contract that if you do not honor the contract you sign then you forgo your signing bonus. HOWEVER, that doesn;t release him from his contractual agreement with the Rockies. Kyle is and will remain property to the Rockies for a period of 6 Years! He has but ONE OPTION......report to the Rockies and get busy with trying to become a big leaguer. What everyone must remember is that the Rockies HAVE NOT released Kyle. He just walked away from the organization. BUT, that doesn't carry any water with his CONTRATUAL AGREEMENT that he signed.....UNLESS the Rockies release him, which they are NOT going to do.
Vance34 -- you are obviously knowledgeable regarding this situation (and others) -- you contributed here last time someone asked about Kyle.
If he reports to the Rockies, will he receive his bonus? -- or will he be paid a minor league rookie salary alone?

If Kyle reports he will have to negotiate his bonus. The club can elect to not pay him ANY bonus at all.
HIS BONUS as you put it, of what he orignally signed for, is HISTORY. It so says that in the contract and KYLE was aware of that when he signed the contract. The club can however elect to pay him the original amount or could agree to pay him more or less.
It doesn't mater if he signs a bonus or not he will still be paid a 1st year player salary and like all players who sign, that salary is just for the months he is playing.
