That has nothing to do with the owners wanting to save money. Which they have wanted to do since baseball started- and why Stewart is going to Japan on the first place. That will probably never change either.Quote:

Well shit. Don't go advertising it. Maybe we can get a reverse Dee Bost situation.Quote:

If he was committed to Vandy he would've already announced he was attending school.Quote:

Well maybe Lemonis and Jake have some recruiting to do. We definitely have an open spot in the outfield for next year.Quote:

No matter what, I hope all these guys at least get their tuition paid by whatever team they sign with. At this point though unless you are a high round pick, you have a better shot making MLB by going to college.Quote:

24 hrs. out.....anybody got an update on Tarver?
How abnormal is it for there to be such radio silence regarding a recruit?
Ya’ll should follow MSbaseballfan on facebook. He does a pretty good job with recruiting news, especially considering that it is free.
Anyway, he says that the word is that Tarver will go juco if he doesn’t sign a contract.
He’s either going pro or Juco. He’s not coming to State.
