As of the 3rd round, this thing is going our way!

Anderson (Vanderbilt's Kendall) and Hutchinson (Louisville's MacKay) not called yet. They are No. 1 picks in 2 to 3 years.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Welp, Bacon drafted in 4th round...$495K vs Mississippi State

You won't know until after round 10. Way too early.

[BoomBoom]

Welp, Bacon drafted in 4th round...$495K vs Mississippi State

and they took a low ranked guy in the 3rd. they'll have the money to give him more if needed.

[ZedFedder]

I'm not as concerned with losing JUCO pitchers just because of who we have returning from injury like Small, Hughes, Rigby, etc. Would love to hang on to the high school guys and the JUCO bat of Tyreque Reed.

[ZedFedder]

Bacon and Pearson McMahon drafted.

[Steakonastick]

Big losses on bacon and mcmahon. Just lost a weekend starter and a back end guy who would had very likely been our closer.

[ShotgunDawg]

You not allowed to get upset about the draft. When younr recruit well, it happens.

Furthermore, for the most part, it evens out across the country.

Any JC player that is good, will likely sign in pro ball.

They've been in college for two years and are ready to go out. Transferring to another school isn't all that appealing.

[MarketingBully]

Padget will be our closer. LHP is more valuable. These guys were RHP. We need LHP in the worst way.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Pearson McMahan in the 4th

I don't even bother with commits' names till after the draft. I know if my choices were pay for school or 300k or so, I'm gone

[Homedawg]

Padget will be our closer. LHP is more valuable. These guys were RHP. We need LHP in the worst way.

Cool your jets on that one.

[MarketingBully]

A lot of unranked guys being taken I've noticed. Still players that are ranked in the 40-50 range left on the board. This probably means those kids will go to school.

[MarketingBully]

Cool your jets on that one.

We shall see.

[msstate7]

Any word on gridley or mangum? Mangum obviously was projected higher than he'll land

I agree and I'm not upset at all.

However, the Trevor Stephan (Arkansas JUCO and 2nd Starter) story is a good one for JUCO kids to consider. He was an 18th round pick last year, pitched 1-year for the Hogs, and now a #4 pick.

[MarketingBully]

Any word on gridley or mangum? Mangum obviously was projected higher than he'll land

This could be good news as far as Mangum is concerned. If they thought they could sign him, he would have gone in the second round.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I hope Blaine Knight (Arkansas-Sophomore) gets drafted soon, we can't hit this guy.

[louisvilledawg]

This could be good news as far as Mangum is concerned. If they thought they could sign him, he would have gone in the second round.

So far so good in this draft, we have only lost the players we knew we could not keep.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Taylor Braley of USM taken in 6th. Most likely keeps us from facing him in game 1 next year.

[ShotgunDawg]

I agree and I'm not upset at all.

However, the Trevor Stephan (Arkansas JUCO and 2nd Starter) story is a good one for JUCO kids to consider. He was an 18th round pick last year, pitched 1-year for the Hogs, and now a #4 pick.

True but Stephan was a unique case of a guy that had only been pitching for 2.5 years and had a ton to gain.

[MarketingBully]

Is MLB drafting the whole Chipola JC team? How many is that from one JC 6-7?

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Is MLB drafting the whole Chipola JC team? How many is that from one JC 6-7?

Juco National champs. 51-9 record. Must have had some hosses.

[The Federalist Engineer]

So far this draft is going our way. If the remaining kids want to sign a pro contract, they are doing it for small money or the Pro-Team will pay above the slot.

We have future 1st rounders and top-3 rounders than should not go for $150K and a bus ticket to Huntsville, Texas


...maybe this is happening because MLB teams know that Cannizarro's recruiting prowess will make their pick worthless

Hopefully, we actually get most of these guys to campus. UNM got every single guy last year to school. They weren't great this year but playing so many freshmen is going to pay off next year and the year after.

[louisvilledawg]

So riddle me this:

If mangum was to get drafted, for what position would it be?

I was thinking 100% OF, but was just told that MLB draft tracker has him as the 102nd ranked player as a LHP.

Is MLB drafting the whole Chipola JC team? How many is that from one JC 6-7?

They have a ton of guys drafted every year. They churn out draft guys left and right. I haven't checked in this draft, but in previous drafts most of the Chipola kids were kids that had been drafted out of high school that wanted more $$ and elected to go the Juco route and stay draft eligible and or transfers from big D1 schools.

[preachermatt83]

How has mason not gotten drafted yet??

[Homedawg]

Reed was just drafted. Will probably sign, but isn't a slam dunk due to the $150,000 slot.

First of all they can spend more than the slot depending on what they have leftover. And in most cases, most I said, they don't waste a pick wo thinking by have a good shot at signing him. Previous history makes this one unlikely to show.

[ShotgunDawg]

How has mason not gotten drafted yet??

Signability

Good players that have yet to be drafted have not been drafted due to wanting too much money

[ShotgunDawg]

First of all they can spend more than the slot depending on what they have leftover. And in most cases, most I said, they don't waste a pick wo thinking by have a good shot at signing him.

Agree. Easier to do after 10th round

[Steakonastick]

Reed is gone. He's been telling anybody who will listen he wants to go pro. On the bright side mangum has either told teams he wants to return or had a very high price. Hopefully Gridley does not get picked next couple of rounds.

I think the magnum part is probably accurate. He would have been drafted 6-9 or so if he said he really wanted to start his pro career. He might have terrible bat discipline, but he can handle the bat w the best of them. With all that said he has an uphill road to a big league career. OF w no pop have a tough time making the climb.

Boom!! No one else thru round 10. That's big

[MarketingBully]

Didn't lose anyone else. Round 10 is done.

[MarketingBully]

Boom!! No one else thru round 10. That's big

Hutchinson has already turned down multiple offers. My guess is a great chance for him to come to campus.

[MarketingBully]

Mangum has a high asking price. Odds are very good he comes back. Hutchinson was offered in sixth round a couple of times and in the ninth and turned them down. My guess is we more then likely stay at five or so that we lose and keep the rest of our class. We got through two of the hardest days of the draft without it ripping us a new asshole.

[msstate7]

From reading braves' board (no draft expert fo sure), round 11 is a round teams go big on signing bonuses. Not sure how true that is and if affects some of our HS guys or not.

[Todd4State]

Good day for us overall. No big surprises. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Mason has had a lot of injuries. I think that's why he hasn't been picked.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Dominic Taccocolini drafted in the 10th round! I guess me and Andrew Mahoney have a great chance of being drafted too!

Saw a lot of SRs like Poche drafted in 10th, those guys sign for $5k

[Todd4State]

Dominic Taccocolini drafted in the 10th round! I guess me and Andrew Mahoney have a great chance of being drafted too!

I saw that and said WTF? Glad it wasn't the Cardinals. I'm already pissed they drafted Kramer Robertson.

[MarketingBully]

Jordan Anderson told Robbie at 247 that he is coming to school.

[Todd4State]

A lot of them get more than that.

[Todd4State]

That's a good sign. But that's also what Gray Fenter and Jack Kruger said too. Nothing is final until the deadline in July.

[MarketingBully]

That's a good sign. But that's also what Gray Fenter and Jack Kruger said too. Nothing is final until the deadline in July.

Fenter was drafted in the seventh round so more motivation for the club to sign him. Kruger was in the final year in which he could have leverage and he got drafted by the Angels. I'd say there is a good chance Anderson makes it here.

[The Federalist Engineer]

If we get Mangum III, Anderson, Lovell, Hatcher, and Allen in one draft class, this is a ridiculous OF!

Vansau and/or Macnamee better learn 1B

[Todd4State]

If we get Mangum III, Anderson, Lovell, Hatcher, and Allen in one draft class, this is a ridiculous OF!

Vansau and/or Macnamee better learn 1B

I could actually see Lovell at first and possibly Allen at third. We'll just have to see how things shake out because OF is also a possibility for all of them as well.

[Todd4State]

Fenter was drafted in the seventh round so more motivation for the club to sign him. Kruger was in the final year in which he could have leverage and he got drafted by the Angels. I'd say there is a good chance Anderson makes it here.

That's true but the thing both of them have in common is they all said that they were coming to school and all of them had teams that went overslot to sign them. Regardless of the semantics of each situation that's the thing I fear the most- teams going way over slot for one of our guys.

[msstate7]

Dominic Taccocolini drafted in the 10th round! I guess me and Andrew Mahoney have a great chance of being drafted too!

Pretty sure teams that know they'll have to go over to sign earlier picks draft guys that will be super cheap like Dominic

[Dawg61]

Who was our HS signee that turned pro after getting picked in like the 30th round a couple years ago, from NY I think? Wonder if he's still playing in the minors

[Todd4State]

That would be Dale Burdick. Last I saw he was demoted to A ball from AA and is hitting .208 in A ball after ripping AA with a BA of .150.

And he was drafted in the 40th round which is the LAST round. He made a mistake going pro IMO. Cann would have probably made him into a pretty solid hitter.

[Todd4State]

Yeah- but they still draft guys that have a reasonable chance of making it to MLB too.

Hahaha Todd....wonder if the pro cameras will love Kim like the college cameras did?

[msstate7]

It was $150,000

[Homedawg]

Seniors? That Late? No they don't.

He didn't get 400k. Not even close.

Cardinals lost their minds.

Pretty sure he was literal about the $400 bc it was 40th round. Burdick got much more than that though

That doesn't last long in NY

Glad my team drafted Alex Lange. Will be weird pulling for him after these last few years. He's the one I'm most excited about so far in the Cubs draft this year. Hopefully State will be able to keep most of the signees that haven't been drafted rounds 1-10.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

If my team drafted Kramer Robertson, I'd switch allegiance's to their most hated rival. Lord, I'm so glad I don't have to look at that ugly mofo any longer.

Even on the LSU boards they call him "The Sweet One", in reference to the little guy on the Dr. Pepper commercial.

[Spiderman]

Reed was just drafted. Will probably sign, but isn't a slam dunk due to the $150,000 slot.

We probably will. I more worried about Gridley and Mangum at this point.

I never expected to get Holmes and the three JUCO guys were bonuses to me if we got them- but I also didn’t expect to get them so I wasn’t exactly counting on them. If Reed has a bad social situation or something like that- there’s not a lot we can do about that.

[Todd4State]

Someone with the Cardinals clearly has ties to LSU and or Manieri. We drafted Mason Katz and some other LSU players who are wasting away in our minor league system and will never contribute.

[louisvilledawg]

Cannizaro was never going to make a huge impact on this. He may get a couple juniors drafted in the 20th round to stick around, but he's not some hypnotist. These are business decisions.

[Percho]

MLB needs to do away with class A and let universities be class A. Also NCAA needs to increase scholarships for baseball to at least 15 per year.

How many remain in class A for four years or more or move back and forth between A and AA?

I think I got all this backward. AAA

Nope I had it right.

[Activated Alpha]

So you're saying the draft screwed us again?

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I'm hearing Mangum is coming back.

[Homedawg]

Cannizaro was never going to make a huge impact on this. He may get a couple juniors drafted in the 20th round to stick around, but he's not some hypnotist. These are business decisions.

This. We just have to do like everyone else and keep signing them. It's the only way you steal one occasionally. Sign em.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Hutchinson told Robbie Faulk that he is gonna sign. That one stings. Potential Friday guy and big bat.

This kid could be a #1 Pick in three years. This was one to keep.

[ZedFedder]

It's not like we missed all the top ones, either. Jordan Anderson could have easily been a top 10 round guy but he is coming. Same for a few others.

[Jack Lambert]

Cannizaro was never going to make a huge impact on this. He may get a couple juniors drafted in the 20th round to stick around, but he's not some hypnotist. These are business decisions.

What round was Rooker drafted last year? I guess either way the coach can use it as a example why to come back.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Hutchinson told Robbie Faulk that he is gonna sign. That one stings. Potential Friday guy and big bat.

OK, OK, OK, not saying that I don't trust people on the internet or something crazy like that, but...

Are you saying he said this to Robbie Faulk just now, or before the draft when he was a top-5 round prospect?

This late in the draft, it's not the same money, unless the Mets stiff another kid. Which they could.

[ZedFedder]

He said it right after he was just drafted. He gone.

[ZedFedder]

Now Robbie says that Hutchinson has not decided one way or another. Said he got caught up in moment earlier. Also Holmes just tweeted a pic of his MSU summer workout book with the �� Emojis.

Mangum round 30. ?????????

[MarketingBully]

Leverage. I'm sure agents told them to say that

Haha, if someone says anything good gotta dump cold water on it. It would be a risk for Holmes to come but if all he really needs to work on is his hitting then MSU is the place for him with Cann. He could turn $1.5 million to the first pick in the draft in three years. If we got him, we would be set at the leadoff spot for three years and he would break SEC steal records here. How he was drafted in the second round is beyond me. He fits this offense like a glove.

[ZedFedder]

I still figure Holmes is gone still. Hutchinson, still small hope.

They said they were gone and now... not so sure. Just sounds to me like they realize it's a weak bargaining position telling everyone they gone. Hope they stay though

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Someone with the Cardinals clearly has ties to LSU and or Manieri. We drafted Mason Katz and some other LSU players who are wasting away in our minor league system and will never contribute.

Katz was probably a wish and a prayer that he would turn out half ass decent to use as trade bait for someone desperate to plug a hole or get rid of a player in the last year of a deal before hitting FA. Whenever I say trade bait, I mean several players in a package.

[I seen it dawg]

With gridley, Cody, and rooker gone (almost all our offense), does mangum become easier to sign?

Not in the 30th round

[I seen it dawg]

And we were supposed to really suck this season too....

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Cann working his magic!! We're not losing ANYBODY!!

We'll get all of the players drafted in the 30s. If he can pull either Hutchinson or Gridley back we will be fine. If he gets both, we will be golden.

We'll get all of the players drafted in the 30s. If he can pull either Hutchinson or Gridley back we will be fine. If he gets both, we will be golden.

Hutchinson gone. Gridley will be hard to keep. But maybe There's a chance.

Gridley is the one that SHOULD go, Hutchinson should come to school unless they are giving him 500k or more.
