I think both are too old to expect a team to use a pick on them. Both are already 23, and Ellis will be 24 in a couple weeks. Just as an example, that puts Jones the same age as Michael Harris, a year older than Hurston Waldrep, and 2 years older than AJ Smith-Shawver. Ellis, at 24 in 2 weeks...

Peyton Green goes 6:184 to Miami. I would expect him to sign. Slot value is $331k, FWIW.

Ryan Johnson, who for a few minutes we thought was transferring into our program, gets taken with the 74th pick by Anaheim.

I don't, I think its gonna be Bazanna. I'll go a step farther....in 5 years Charlie Condon will not look like a good selection. I see his ceiling as being a good (not great) DH, and a good DH shouldn't be in the conversation as a top 5 pick. On the Cape last year he hit 1 homerun in 50 PAs...

Not much to write about, unless someone has scoop on transfer portal activities or summer ball. I'm always interested in news on either of these topics, but since I don't have any inside sources within the program nor do I pay for monthly subscriptions to college baseball websites, I'm afraid I...

I assume that Rosario is just a place holder until AA can see what he can get towards the end of the month. I certainly prefer him to Eli White and Luke Williams. I still can't figure out why they are keeping Laureano on the active roster. Had they DL'ed him within the first 3 days of his...

Olson booted a ground ball, Chavez made a bad throw on a swinging bunt, and Riley missed a decent throw from the catcher on an attempted steal of 3rd base. Also, Philadelphia's first runs scored after the Braves failed to turn a DP, although that was probably more a function of Albies playing in...

But I don't think we've ever gotten down to the last year on the contract before, have we? That was what I meant when I started this by saying WTTE of the fact that there hasn't been an extension yet should speak volumes. Maybe we have gotten down to the last year, I'm not an expert on CFDH's...

I hope they do just to see the reaction from you, LargeFO, and others!!!! That may be more entertaining than the season itself! :ROFLMAO: (Just kidding)

The fact that no extension has been announced should speak volumes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Deck McGuire was an unpaid "volunteer" coach last season while he finished working on his degree. He was what is called at the major league level the bullpen coach, and an unpaid one at that. Assuming that he has now finished the academic side, it is...

A&M will be fine, but I do love the fact that they continue to be little brother to the school in Austin. I have relatives on my wife's side who are Aggies, so this will be some fun material for me to use. And now Schloss has been at three of the big Texas schools (big in the baseball sense)...

I agree it's not sustainable from a fan POV (not good for the game), but I think it probably is sustainable from a competition POV. A baseball team (failing a bunch of injuries) needs about 12 hitters and probably 13 pitchers. To meet those needs you bring in 5 or so hitters each year from the...

Thanks, I could've sworn I had included Vaughn, I suspect in one of my cut/paste actions I must have over-written him (there's a joke there somewhere, but I'll avoid going there :)) Jaros hurts, IMO. He is another player I could see really developing into a strong player. I will be watching to...

OK, so this is a decision that I personally disagree with (I think Kovala has a high ceiling), but this is different than players leaving because they hate the pitching coach. Presumably Taylor believes that he can get better use of the scholly from a certain transfer than he can from Kovala. I...

Trying to keep a running tab. I've got 15 so far. Anyone know which 3 I'm missing? And if the answer is any combination of Burress, Jaros, Kerce, or McKee, I may just go hide under a rock somewhere. Kovala Finateri Graziano Lovett Jolley Diamant Smith Senese Minnick Byers Gaspard Sabathia...

While true, I will note that in college ball a bunt that advances the runner is almost always scored a sacrifice. I can remember a couple times this season where Tech batters tried obvious drag bunts and failed, but the AB was still scored as a sacrifice. In one instance the "sacrifice" was...

I read an article a year or so back on this topic, I'll post here if I can find it again. If my memory is correct, there have been periods where all it took was advancing a runner to get the AB scored as a sacrifice, but that is going back to pre WW2 time periods. The scoring system that is in...

In that scenario, do you think there is any chance that Tennessee would try to steal the active leader in wins away from us to replace Vitello?!!! :)
