I just don't think ole Cord Sandberg is going to make it at baseball

[msudawglb]

He's still in single A...actually was demoted the beginning of this month. Was tearing it up for a couple weeks, now is batting .188 his last 10 games. Only one HR this season and strikes out 33% of the time. How long will he keep up the dream?

I know...it was about time for a yearly Cord Sandberg post.

Can he play OL?*

[mparkerfd20]

Cord Sandberg will never, ever, ever play QB (or any other position for that matter) at Mississippi State, so I personally couldn't care less about the yearly Cord Sandberg "Where is he now?" posts.

I agree with this 100% Can we cut the "Cord" already?

[Bothrops]

Cord would never see the field if he was here.

Considering we have all of 2 QB's right now, I'd love to have him in the fall. Ain't like we don't have the scholarships.

I'd like to have him here regardless.

He made a mistake like we all have before. If he wants another shot and Mullen thinks he's worth a shot, then let's see what happens. That said. I seriously doubt it will happen.

I hardly call $750,000 a mistake.

Wow, didn't realize that. Did he get that all at once? What obligations does he have tied to that money?

[ZedFedder]

This.

That's only 360k after taxes. I hope he didn't pay an agent. And he's been making minimum since then.

[Dawg61]

Taxes take more than half of your signing bonus? That's ****ing absurd

[Quaoarsking]

If he comes here this fall, he could be the backup and let us have the luxury of redshirting Keytaon.

Even if he never starts for us, he would still be a serviceable backup in 2018-2020.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

I would be fine with him coming in and competing for the #3 spot

[Pollodawg]

Wouldn't beat out Fitz or Key. He'd exhaust eligibility before he ever got into shape enough to hit the field.

He was rated similarly to Key coming out of high school. Both were 4-stars that excelled against very tough level on competition in talent rich areas. Hard to say one way or the other who would beat out who. But Key has the advantage of not having spent the last 4 years playing baseball.

Pretty sure he has a guaranteed college education paid for by the phillies too

[HSVDawg]

This is true, but if he came to MSU, the LOI is still active which means we'd have to provide a scholarship for him out of our allotment (and therefore pay for his college). Phillies may still provide some additional stipend or something, I'm not sure. He can go to any school he wants and use the Phillies money, but he'd have to sit a year if that was anywhere other than MSU. Unless, of course, he pulls a Garrison Brooks and at that point all bets are off.

So 360k, chance to chase his dream, and college education paid for after baseball... I'd say that's a pretty good deal.
