What are Lemo's chances with Arquette? depends on Mershon?

What are Lemo's chances with Arquette? depends on Mershon?

Yes. I think he will definitely listen, but if Mershon is coming back then he won't come here.

[BrunswickDawg]

Will Coggin and Nick Amirati, who were both at UK with Mingione are now at Georgia. That is the reason. Familiarity.

I knew Coggin was at UGA - didn't realize they had stolen Nick from UK. That's a big get

They just got him. Will be interesting to see if Mingione can rebuild that staff. The players loved Ammo. I would have loved to have had him had Jake decided to move on in the offseason.

I would take Ammirrati anyway with or without Jake.

[bulldogcountry1]

I would take Ammirrati anyway with or without Jake.

When he was a player, I said he would be a good coach one day. He just oozed leadership and doing things the right way.

I guess Lemonis, Jake, and Cheese are baseball's equivalent to the "country club" now.

[State82]

I would take Ammirrati anyway with or without Jake.

Yeah without a doubt.

The way that the LA Angeles are saving money on the bonuses thus far. They could afford 800K for Mershon, if they chose to offer that.

They must have identified Cristian Moore's strength drug because they are paying him 1.5M less than his slot.

Seems Mershon will know Thursday what money the Angels will offer. Could be $300k which trumps our NIL $250k.

If he takes our 250 and gets drafted again he will make more money in the long run even if it's after round 10.

It’s a gamble either way. It’s very possible if he comes back he could move up the draft board. With the Angels have available they could offer much more. Hope he comes back, very iffy now.

[Cooterpoot]

I get the feeling he's going to get what it takes to leave but that could just be gas. I'm fine with grabbing up a higher projected portal guy too if he does.

Pretty calculated gamble if you ask me. Highly likely worst case scenario he ends up with the same 150K draft slot plus 250 NIL = 400K.

If he performs well enough to get in the top ten rounds which I think is possible then he could make bank.

[Coach34]

So how do we miss him to GA? It’s not like we don’t have an opening in CF! Money? Lemonis?

From what I heard- Cam Opener's Dad put out info the on the Kentucky guy that he and his family absolutely loved their trip to StarkVegas and were extremely impressed with Lemon and Crew. Cam's Dad coached him when he was younger and helped us in the process of recruiting him. He chose Georgia because they had a smaller field to help his power numbers, great money, and he loved Athens more than Starkville. Literally nothing more we could do.

Having a great stadium is not top 3 for alot of baseball guys in today's world

The Angels just paid 2MM to an 11th rounder and their 3rd rounder announced he is going back to A&M because they didnt have the money for him. Would be shocking for Dirtbag not to return

Yea, if they don't sign their 3rd rounder then that slot value bonus pool money is down the drain for them for this year.

The 11th rounder was a UVA commit and the 34th rated HS player. And 105 rated draft player. So he's a 2nd round guy in talent. People must have feared the collegiate option.

Prager staying breaks the top-10 round logic. That they are MLB locks and pre-negotiated picks.

Prager's choice just means more for other picks like the 11th rounder. They also signed TAM's Chris Cortez for -500K slot value.

Rule: "Each pick among the top 10 rounds carries a slot value, and the individual amounts added together get each team’s total bonus pool. Teams are able to use that money however they like in the draft—i.e. each pick doesn’t automatically sign for the assigned slot value—with penalties incurring if teams go over their total bonus pools."

There aren't very many but there are usually at least a couple of guys in the top 10 rounds that don't sign every year. Prager was one of the very few.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Auburn is having a pretty good offseason. A huge recruit for them, Connor Gatwood does not want to bargain with the LAA Angles, going to school.

They signed 5 of the top 8 players in Alabama. The top Alabama HS player selected Alabama-Tuscaloosa but was drafted very high. Auburn are bringing 2 top-100 pitchers as college Freshmen. They also did good portal work. Butch without a good stadium, no tradition, no fanbase, and a last-place season. Is Cohen the driving force or Butch?

MSU got two very good Alabama recruits in 3B-Henry Allen and RHP-Braden Booth this year.

This is actually not true. You can sign a Top 10 round guy for under slot and save money in your bonus pool for other draft picks BUT if you don't sign them at all then that slot money is subtracted from your overall bonus pool for this year which is a penalty. That's why so few guys in the Top 10 rounds don't sign. Usually a general agreement has been reached before a team will pick you because teams can't afford to not be signing their Top 10 round picks.
