    Lol... I was first to admit I was wrong. How did "Cann has the lsu series circled" work out?

    Being circled and super motivated is totally different than saying this guy can't play SS or hit 3 hole because he isn't good enough. Cann having it circled couldn't make pitchers throw strikes.

    Don't try to distract from the fact I was beating you down on the subject early in the season for the exact reason that we've seen happen. I was waiting for you to snap that weasel neck out of your hole. Hahahahahahahaha I SEEN IT!!!!!

    Well if you're gonna rub it in, at least get it right... I said Alexander was the better SS. Never said Alexander was a better hitter, SS only. Gridley vastly surpassed what I thought he would hit though... glad I was wrong bc it benefited miss state

    Great for Gridley! It really depends on where he is drafted if he comes back. I could see him coming back if he is drafted between rounds 28-32 like Robertson from LSU last year.

    Kramer Robertson doesn't agree with this. Similar player to Gridley that Cann was able to get to come back for his senior year. I think Gridley could be Cann's first test as far as getting guys to come back if he is drafted where I think he will be.

    Cole Freeman is another player similar to Gridley that Cann was able to get to come back as well.

    Oh I think I've shown all along I'm right. And oh yeah I'm rubbing it in. Shouldn't argue with me about baseball so damn much.

    Where were they drafted? I bet both get around 5k as a signing bonus this year

    They also won't be pro baseball players very long. They should have come back and enjoyed their senior years.

    That's true. Do you group gridley in that same group?

    I think Gridley leaves but Mangum returns. That's just a gut feeling, but I did eat Tex-mex for lunch.

    I think mangum has the most to gain. I think with some fine tuning to his approach and better base stealing, he projects much better to MLB and could be a relatively high pick

    Robertson- 32nd round.

    Freeman- 18th round.

    I think Gridley will go between round 12-20. All it takes is one scout to like you though.

    If he gets 12th or higher I think he would probably go. Anything after that it's up to Cann.

    I'm not an expert on the subject. I feel like I remember the signing bonuses for players like Graveman and Girodo, who were seniors drafted in the 8th and 9th round, were a fraction of the signing bonuses for juniors and HS players drafted around them and many rounds after them.

    I also feel like our lack of scholarships compared to the likes of LSU, Vandy, etc hurts us on this end of the process as well. It probably makes it slightly easier to sell coming back another year if the player has more scholarship money, but I also know that we have pulled juniors' scholarship money that were all but certain to be drafted at the end of the season so that we could give them to incoming players. Which shuts the door on them coming back even if they had a mediocre junior season.
