lol- and he was just drafted in the 19th
You've got to think the Diamondbacks think they can get him if they draft him at this point.Quote:

I think anything over $150,000 will apply to their draft pool.Quote:

Aidan Teel, Gehrig Frei, Jack Bauer, Peter Mershon, and Noah Sullivan were all undrafted.
Thats a wrap. Came out of it pretty well
Agreed. That’s as good as could be expected.Quote:

This may be our greatest ever recruiting and portal class. No way Parker should sign for 19th round when he can be 1st round in a few years.
But even then, I like what I see. This OF is going to have players in abundance.
Teel, Frei, and Sullivan not drafted. Catcher has Mershon and he can play multiple positions.
Indeed!Quote:

Most depth we've had in a while.
Fall ball and spring training will be an all out brawl
I don't think we necessarily have to. Valincious, Foster, and Pitzer or McPherson would be a really strong rotation. And now Duke Stone is performing better in the Cape as well. Also have William Kirk who could surprise people as well.Quote:

To put into perspective how huge of a grab Bauer is, he is rated as the 21 best senior in the country by perfect game. JT Ginn was 24.
We got more than five high school recruits!*****Quote:

agree. Unless he totally tanks in college- he should go to school. He will get a 400K offer or so. Thats not life changing money. Huge difference in turning down a million or more.Quote:

Not necessarily. Could be a lottery ticket for them, but more likely it's a back up plan. If a top 10 pick doesn't sign, offer the money to Parker. It's also leverage against those picks. By the 19th round it's either lottery picks or low level org filler.Quote:
