I would love for us to get Jacob Parker because he is a potential 20 hr guy in college, but I think he goes since his brother is for sure gone.

Since you guys follow the draft, I see we have 11 more draftable guys today, how many do you predict will be gone as I have no idea. I just know it's very hard to make a roster in the ML. Wish them luck today!
Pico to the Yanks in the bottom of the 4th.
No Bauer in the 4th round.
I think we have to feel pretty confident in Bauer at the moment. As for Parker, I'll believe he makes it to campus when I see it. Everything I've heard is that he's going pro no matter what.
Would be huge if we could get Jacob Parker to campus. Insane power, good speed. And as Keith Law said in his draft notes, it is not like Jacob is a hack up there with a lot of swing and miss. It is just that his brother JoJo has 99.999th percentile hand eye so it makes a tough comparison for anyone else.
Bauer is far from a done deal for MSU, but our chances of getting him to campus are steadily increasing. Congrats to Pico.
Hickson has been drafted.
Hickson last pick in the 5th.
Ahhh that sucks hes goneQuote:

And we are thru six
We have to start thinking that Bauer has a number that is higher than what teams want to pay. I hope that is accurate.Quote:

Yep. Everyone in the SEC is going to take some hits. You have to like how it's going for us thus far though.Quote:

I always get ancy when I hear that statement though because that is the EXACT statement I heard about Austin Riley.Quote:

That's two big bullets today that have been lost today. Either Hickson or Siary was penciled in to be the Sunday starter next year. Going to need a guy like Charlie Foster or Maddux Bruns to really take that next step and be able to give us 4-5 on a Sunday.Quote:

Still no Bauer or Jacob Parker.
I think any State fan would've signed up for that outcome if you told them those would be who was drafted through 8 rounds.Quote:

Could be. We will find out very soon.Quote:

All expectedQuote:

Through 9 rounds. Picks have been JoJo Parker, Landon Harmon, Pico Kohn, Davion Hickson, Evan Siary, and Karson Ligon.
Toronto's 10th round pick is getting close. Will it be Jacob Parker?
Hunter Hines drafted in the 10th.
The Blue Jays do not pick Jacob Parker in the 10th.
And Parker survives the Jays pick in the 10th.
Gehrig Frei undrafted so far.
Parker could get drafted in the 18th round and still get 400K- just like Mershon last year

I also don't get in what world it makes ANY financial sense to take less money.
I think these two situations are totally different - wasn't Mersh was a college jr with limited leverage or did he have another year with leverage? Also, you gotta think Jacob Parker can only improve is future draft status after a couple of years at MSU.Quote:
