That doesn't exactly scream let's spend 3 million on this guy in this day and age. Unless he is poor as dirt or something and is fine taking whatever he gets.

You basically just laid out the absolute worst case scenario and I will say this about the MLB draft after following it for years- it's never as good as it could be and it's never as bad as it could be either.

And in this era where college players are taking more and more of a priority for MLB teams- the top recruiting class in the country which isn't us as you know is going to get more than five to school.
If you've been reading my posts, you should just trust me. I told everyone weeks ago that we had no shot at Becker despite whatever Steve or Robbie or those guys were saying. I was the first to post that BOC would leave UVA. I also posted that Henry Ford was going to UT as soon as he hit the portal.

We will only keep 1 of those 3 players I mentioned. Mershon will be a draft eligible sophomore so he might make it to college but the Mershons were big fans of Lemonis and Gaut so it's iffy. Rhodes is iffy too. Neither will get 3 million but 1.5 million is a lot of money too. I think Beliveau would sign for mid-six figures. If any of these 3 are drafted in the first 10 rounds, they are gone
