Yep, wish him well but he contributed very little to our program in his 3 years relative to expectations when he came in.

Always a chance or more likely a scholarship adjustment.

The staff has to play the scholly money game in the fall and makes decisions on dollars available on who is coming and going. I 'm guessing they had Woody and Rea in the going column in the fall.

True, but they also have Vallot's money that they had to have saved just in case that is now officially free.

And our fans need to knock it off calling guys tremendous disappointments. Especially when the reason they were a disappointment was because their arm was almost broken in half.

I think his arm was fine this year but he just doesn't have the ability to locate very well. He's either walking people or serving up one in the heart of the plate. Maybe he can get that straightened out in pro ball. Whatever we want to call it there is no doubt that not being able to use Woodruff in our SEC weekend rotation this year because he was so ineffective was a BIG blow to this year's team and severely limited what we were able to accomplish. That's just the obvious truth because we were counting on him being our Friday night starter.

I see what and why you are saying that, but regardless of the reasons, his career was disappointing from what many thought it could be. No need to sugar coat it. I'm sure it was disappointing to him too being hurt.

But I do agree it's wrong to label the person themselves as huge disappointments.

Bingo. So sick of statements like this.

One of the only fanbases that care enough about baseball/baseball recruiting to constantly discuss it -- and we've got statements like this. For guys that turned down half a million to be Bulldogs in the first place, no less...

No matter how justified, we should be aware of how this potentially makes us look, as a destination, to recruits and their parents.

I like to think of us as a classy program, with a by-and-large classy fanbase. Hate to see us screw with that. Don't we get enough Black Bear trolls posing as Dawg fans doing this kind of crap in an effort to hurt our recruiting?

Also, this smacks of Ole Miss, as they are the ones we love to chide for their "sour grapes" attitude, ala, "We didn't have room", "We didn't really want him"., etc. etc. I do not EVER want to sound like those arrogant, deluded, self-important pricks.

Not to mention Woodruff won the Championship game of the SECT a few years back. If that had been his only game to ever play in I would still be grateful. I appreciate all players that choose MSU. I hope Rea comes back and hits .300 with 12 bombs like I think he will, too.

Burdick can do whatever he wants, but if he signs as a 40th round pick, that would make no sense. His signing bonus would be next to nothing.

There are some serious ******s on this board. I didn't bad mouth the kid; I stated that he was a tremendous disappointment, which is the truth. If you weren't tremendously disappointed with his career at State, you are in complete denial. He was an early round draftee out of high school, and he couldn't consistently reach the mound on a team that was dying for some more arms to step up. Whether it's talent or injury, it's still one thing - a TREMENDOUS DISAPPOINTMENT. If you can't comprehend that, wake up....... or just keep patting 20 year old men on the ass, while telling them how special they are.

I didn't see anything that says he's going pro. Doesn't make sense to me to go pro if you're taken in the 40th round. The Mets can't be expecting a HS player to sign at that point. It's actually very risky to sign then I think. The organization has shown they don't put you in high regards or they would of drafted you much much higher so how long of a rope would he get? Signing bonus can't be very much at that point and you'd lose all your college eligibility for an organization that might only give you one year or less to do something and the signing bonus money would be gone by then. I don't recommend signing but I've never played pro ball so.

Sounds like tremendous motivation for future early-round high schoolers to come on to MSU. After all, when you win huge games as a freshman and blow out your arm as a Soph, you can count on our dumbasses to throw you under the bus when you struggle a bit coming off injury as a JR... And STILL barely miss the top 10 rounds.

Dumbasses gotta dumbass though -- so go ahead and define your position further.

Sorry RBritt thought you did. I still think it's premature to say a recruit is going to go pro from the 40th round. Would be foolish for a high school kid to go in that round since they have absolutely no leverage and the Pro team is more then likely thinking there would be less then 10% chance to sign the guy.

I'm ready to just drop any topics on Woodruff. His career certainly was not what we all hoped it would be, granted partly due to injury, and I think even he would say that, just glad he still got picked at the level he did so he will still get a decent chunk of change to sign. And yes he will always be a Bulldog and I'm glad he played for us. BUT regardless of all that what we have GOT to find next year are some dependable SEC starters. We only had Graveman last year and this year we only ended up with Mitchell and that's solely because we had to go fish out one of our best guys out of the bullpen. Fitts is serviceable but in no way is he a dominant SEC Friday night starter. One or more of either Hudson, Sexton, Young, Brown, Laster, Tatum or someone we haven't seen yet has got to step up for us next year in the SEC or its going to be down year for us. There will be no Lindgren or Holder next year to come in and clean up the starter's mess.

Maybe not having the dominant relievers will help our young starters. Cohen and butch will be forced to let our starters log more innings early in the year. That and I think our offense will give our starters more support which will allow them more wiggle room. (I hope anyway)

That's fine to say he was a disappointment- but you should have quantified that his career had some injuries. You made it sound like he sucked so you were glad that he is gone and there was no way that he could have possibly come back as a senior and done well.

I'm just saying that there are recruits and parents that read this board. I've had some send me PM's and the board administrators can back me up on that. When people say stuff like they are hoping that Rea or Woodruff will leave, it doesn't look good for us as fans.

We can criticize without bashing. Talking about mechanics, strategy, etc. is criticizing. Saying someone sucks, should leave, is a tremendous disappointment is bashing.

Exactly. The stuff with Big Wes & Woody is ridiculous. To think there is not a place for both of those guys next year is absolutely insane. Especially the stuff with Wes and summer ball. There are many avenues to improve your game that do not necessarily involve structured game type scenarios. As long as he has the desire to play next year in the Maroon & White he should be welcomed with open arms. Should a starting position just be handed to him? Absolutely not. But I'm sure no one, including Rea, expects that to happen.

Agree in particular that the Wes Rea stuff is ridiculous. Rea is a very good defensive first baseman for starters. Second, Rea was a big reason we made it as far as we did in the post season last year and even this year he had some very big hits and games. No, he didn't have the year we were hoping for this year but he still made a lot of contributions to this year's team.

He was originally recruited as a pitcher. I had seen him in high school and I always liked him better as a hitter.

Personally, I'd much rather him work on his hitting and getting the barrel to the ball more quickly than fool around with pitching.

Wes still had some of the biggest hits of the season this past season. He does need to hit better- I don't have any disagreements there. Wes is the kind of guy that needs some help in the lineup though. I hope Humphreys and Collins give him that this upcoming year- and it would be nice if something went our way for once and Britton and Garner stepped up as well.

I didn't make it sound like he sucked; that's how some of you took it. You took it like that because you agree that his career was disappointment, but you're too afraid to deliver any honesty that isn't complete sunshine pumping homerism, for fear of hurting some feelings.

No. He won a SECT Championship game, and was drafted. Do I wish we had gotten more out of him? Sure. Am I extremely glad he chose MSU? Absolutely. Does he suck? Hell no. He did not have a "bad career"....he had an injured few years that kept him from showing everything he had, unfortunately. It wasn't really his fault, since the arm injury is what ultimately kept him from shining after his Freshman year.

I'm not going to put words in your mouth, but if you expect a guy to be your Friday starter for two years, and he never makes it, that's disappointing, for whatever reason, it's disappointing.

They will never win big because they have a labia. This is a damn business it's not little league anymore and these guys have to be men and not boys. I can't believe anyone worth their salt would want a player that ever even hinted at something like this.

I get your point on that- wait until they see what they say in New York City. That's going to be a lot worse than anything said on elitedawgs, etc.

I think most players can take criticism if it's fair. I think when it's not fair is when it's an issue. Like if your arm nearly breaks in half and then people say that they are glad you are leaving because you weren't Chris Stratton 2.0 as a sophomore.

Believe it or not- and this may sound weird- but I think a lot of pro baseball players end up kind of living in a vacuum to a degree. In other words they get to where they don't read what the media says about them a lot of times and just basically detach themselves from it. At MSU, I think it may be a little bit different because these players have to go to class and have to socialize with other students and people around the town and I think that's where they hear a lot of stuff. So, it's a lot harder for them to detach themselves from it.

Dapper, all I know is that by checking just your most recent posts, you've said all of the following:

Woodruff is a tremendous disappointment, we won't miss him.
We won't miss Fitts, he has been consistently bad and has done nothing.
Collins can't block anything and has never been coached behind the plate.
Decent hitters eat Mitchell alive, he has no pro career.
Lindgren is a 'head case'.
Bracewell is 'garbage' and 'a loser'.

And there is literally not one single post in the bunch that could be construed as in any way positive, and there really aren't even any neutral posts. You talked about us crapping the bed, the fact that we have no balls, predicted that one of our pitchers will give up a grand slam...

Regardless of how much truth you think there is in your posts, you are a consistently negative, name-calling poster who brings nothing of value to the table. I honestly have no idea why you're still allowed to post here. Anyone who ever calls a State athlete a loser, garbage, etc. should be banned immediately.

My thoughts exactly. A message board is for voicing opinions, and if someone takes offense to a total stranger's thoughts about him or his abilities, he's probably not the toughest kid on the diamond.

My comments carried no ill intention; I merely voiced my opinion of a career of a guy, whom I wanted to be as succesful as possible at State. I'm a literal person; what I say is what I mean. I'm also a dick when I feel someone distorts what I say. No big deal, and no hard feelings.

Your sample is picked from an in-game thread, most likely during a tournament game or regional game, while we're choking it away. I let emotion get the better of me, but don't act like I was the only negative guy in those threads. Getting emotional during an MSU choke-job is par for the course in an Elitedawgs in-game thread.

1) I didn't say you were the only one. Not sure how that makes it better.
2) I don't care if it was an in-game thread. Anyone who would call any State athlete a loser in any scenario needs to take a step back and reevalute things.

Congratulations to all the guys drafted this year! May you feel at home wherever you wind up, as much as you felt in Starkville.
Thanks for the memories (and the minor heart attacks at times), and thank you for being part of the only team in MSU Baseball history to come closest to a National Championship!
You all played a special role and you WILL be missed......
