I would be very hesitant to throw Hurter twice this week. The next week is what is most important and he needs to be fresh for that, especially if you get into a situation where he pitches Friday and then want him for a few innings in a Game 7 on Monday. That'll be a great foreshadowing...

I agree that I like this format better than previous versions. It lets 12/14 make the real tournament (not a play-in game that's over before it even starts) so that if you need the automatic bid you can make a run for it. It keeps you from having a disaster of a week by going 0-3 (like you could...

I've never heard...what is the injury to Grissom? Does anyone know? He hasn't pitched all year. Is there hope of him debuting at some point.

Yes, everyone gets another year so he can come back if he wants to. However, it would be his 6th year there so it's unclear what his thought process would be to stick around for another year. It would be great to be back, but even if not, our starting pitching depth looks pretty good assuming...

Teams clearly knew it was going to cost too much to buy him out of his committment so no point in wasting a pick on him after the 2nd round. Thought Radcliff would go, but losing Guldberg will hurt. However, hopefully that will be cancelled out by Waddell back. Hughes seems like the main option...

No current players or recruits yet. Have to believe that is a good sign for Parada since he was routinely ranked as a top 50 prospect. Can't imagine he'd be willing to take slot value at any point from here so it would have to be a team who really was willing to go low on their first rounder to...

https://www.ajc.com/sports/college/baron-radcliff-luke-waddell-lead-georgia-tech-draft-hopefuls/3cfuNZ8oS16cHk0nTXpFsL/ After reading this, I will amend my projection and include Radcliff among those gone. Certainly makes it sound like his family think he'll be drafted and their tone seems to...

In a normal year, I think Guldberg and Radcliff would've been gone. Maybe even Archer and Hurter as well. But since all of them will come back with 2 more years of eligibility next year, I just don't see them going in the top 5 rounds. Agree that Waddell and Parada seem to be the best bets. I...

Keith Law at the Athletic has his top 100 prospects out today. By my count, 12 out of top 36 are ACC or UGA players or commits. Parada is 37, Waddell is 100.

One more draft note. In mock drafts, I'm seeing a lot of ACC players going in the first round. I believe if you throw in the 2 UGA pitchers, there could be 10 or so of the 29 picks (Houston doesn't have one) that will come from teams that we face. If we only lose 1 or 2 total in the draft...

Who knows exactly how this year goes. The mindset will be so different. However, typically it's like this. Teams are given a "budget" of how much they can spend in the first 10 rounds. That is the sum of those slot values. If they overpay for someone, they've got to underpay for someone else...

I guess another reason for the total cancellation is the uncertainty on how to keep players in shape, especially for baseball. If you're trying to limit spread of disease, it doesn't make sense to keep practicing. So how far in advance of restarting the season should you resume practice? How...

I guess it's just a matter of eliminating all the questions of when to start back early in the process. How on earth does this affect eligibility. Do seniors have the ability to come back? So many questions.

Sorry, brain fart, I meant Maxwell, not Chapman as a weekend rotation possibility.

Basically he is very upbeat about us and says we might could even be better than last year. Lots of details, but mostly things that have already been discussed. Look for freshman at 1B, C, DH, possibly at CF occasionally as well. Weekend rotation of Hughes and Roedig plus either Chapman or...

Hard to know what to make of these. However, I believe Samford was on the bubble of the NCAA tourney last year. Certainly at full strength, a loss to them wouldn't be any different than a loss to Mercer. However, given the multitude of players used all over the diamond, I think all you can...

I'll agree except I'll flip Archer and Bartnicki. Gapanther on the other site was hinting that they may look at Archer in the rotation. Seems like in the Cape league, Bartnicki did some closing as well.

It's true we did lose a lot of draftees and seniors, but I still count 22 on the roster that would be returning otherwise from last year (not counting draftees or seniors). I also didn't count Hurter, N Wilhite, or Carter Hall. So at minimum, seems like at least 6 freshman or expected returners...

Also, with 19 freshman mentioned and a roster size of 35, that only leaves 16 roster spots for returners. (Does Hurter count against the roster if he's going to be out all year?). If you start counting down the names on the roster from last year, you quickly see there will have to be a fair...

https://ramblinwreck.com/georgia-tech-finalizes-no-4-recruiting-class-in-nation/ Of note, it says in here returning "5 of 8" starting position players from last year. I assume this is confirmation that Nick Wilhite is gone with English and McCann being the other 2.
