    Spring and summer throwing would be difficult.

    He's having a not-so-good senior year because everyone just walks him.

I'd like to know where the teams have him.
    The MLB draft is so big it's really hard to get a good read. And then MLB does things to lowball players like tell them "hey, we think you are a fourth round pick player, so even though we drafted you in the 20th round, we're going to offer you fourth round money."

    If people know who the first five picks are- it's a really deep year. Most experts and scouts can't agree on who the first pick of this years draft will be. Like last year, Carlos Correa was the first pick of the draft- most people thought he was going to go around pick 15.

Fundamentals can be installed during his red shirt year, and with spring training im sure he could make two days a week, three maybe.
    Yes we would. Dan and Cohen get along very well. Cohen is a football fan too, so I think he would be more understanding than most baseball coaches would be. It's more up to Cord than it is the coaches. Cord is a CF if he plays for us, and him growing up in a baseball family would actually help offset some of the learning.

    They would work something out.

    Todd, important to note that my previous info on the new draft rules has been wrong. Picks after round 10 that are paid over $100k slot count against the first 10 round bonus pool. So, teams still can't drastically overpay in those rounds either...
