Blaze would definitely start. He can play 3B, 1B, DH, and even LF. He has a strong arm. We are talking about an elite power tool. He reclassified. Just needs AB's.Quote:

he can't play 3rd, but yes, he'd start & hit a bunch of HRsQuote:

Basically the last time he was seen facing elite curveballs was just after his sophomore season. He needed this summer in front of scouts to get back in the first round. If he comes to State, he will be an immediate impact starter. Based on the results of last nights draft it shows going to college pays off. And yes he is athletic enough to play 3rd.
Blaze is in kind of a weird position being only 17. If he decides to come to State he would have to stay for three years, he wouldn't be old enough to get drafted after two like Ginn. So that makes you worry some that he might decide to take the JUCO route and try to re-enter the draft next year.
I'm sure it all depends on what his number is and where he gets drafted.
This is all Blaze needs to do!

Anyone that goes the JUCO route to get in the draft early isn't paying attention to the draft and baseball landscape.Quote:

Ginn picked at 52 by the mets...
Mets have to think they can sign him. You don't draft a draft eligible sophomore who's already turned down money like Ginn in the first half of round 2 of a 5 round draft unless you feel confident you can sign him.Quote:

I have to think that they think if they can get Ginn a little over $2 million, he would jump.
Well, if he can pick up 2 mil or so on an arm that's injured and without him even showing that the arm is back and healthy then I guess you couldn't blame him for taking it and moving on. Of course, if he does, in typical MSU fashion, we get our first and only 1st rounder to campus and, if he signs now, all we will get is one season out of him. And the last half of that one season he wasn't really healthy. If it weren't for bad luck....Quote:

I'm happy for him. He's going to sign. Hopefully, it's for around 2 million which will mean he didn't give up any money and he can rehab his arm as a pro. Pretty cool that he came to MSU.Quote:

Ginn will sign. He wouldnt be much of a factor in the Spring anyway- he probably wouldnt even pitch before April. He has to take the money and let the Mets rehab him
Good. Need Keenan to go too. If we're going to lose 2 of our best hitters, I hope they lose 2 of their's too.Quote:

For the first month or two of his FR year we got a glimpse of what he could have been had he stayed healthy. Of course we would have lost his SO year even without the injury due to COVID-19.Quote:

He would be stupid to sign there. He was suppose to be a top ten pick at one point. He could be if he came to state and worked on his hitting. Dude can mash the long ball, but he needs fine running and finding a spot he can show the majors he can play everyday...Quote:

Time value of money + he may be thinking he can get to the majors in 3-4 years.Quote:
