213) Yankees: $208,200
238) Astros: $174,000
260) Rockies: $158,100
Do they go or come back?
Would another year help or hurt them? Brant and Luke would lose leverage.
JHN still has some and would next year as well. I would think would go much higher next year.
Not me. I want them all back until the ACC or NCAA tells them they have to go. Sure the PC thing to say is I want them to do what is best for them. It would be crass to say anything other than that. But I am a rabid Tech fan who will watch every game they play while Yellow Jackets. Once they turn pro and spend years in the minor leagues the only time I see them is when someone posts a highlight on line. Let's be honest, only a handful ever get a taste of the league. How many guys have been thought of as MLB sure shots only to end up bouncing around the minors for years. As a dad, if my son could stay an extra year and get his degree at Tech or even a Masters I would tell him to stay. Unless you are getting drafted in the early rounds, which none of those guys will be right now, the draft money is negligible long term compared to an advanced degree from Tech.
You can get a degree at any time, and the team that drafts you will pay for it if you decide to go back to school. You only get one shot to chase a dream. Luke and Brant have given 4 years to GT baseball. There’s nothing left for them to prove here.
I'm not being selfish. Just speaking the truth. I would like to continue watching them play for Tech. What's wrong with that? I'm not wishing them ill will if they decide to move on. I know how much a Tech degree means because I have one which is why I said what I did. If you can read you would realize that not all of those guys referenced in the message I replied to have a Tech degree. And who the hell are you to question if I am a true Tech man?
Unless Compton's defense improves dramatically I don't see him unseating Jenkins at 1B. I also think Anderson's bat gets him in the lineup most likely at 2B though I can see him maybe at 3B if they decide to move JHM to 2B. I also believe both Reid and Compton's power bats will stay in the lineup which most likely means Compton remains at DH since Reid can play RF. That means Deleo and Hall fight it out for the remaining OF position unless a freshman phenom can unseat them.

Not sure Malloy would be better at 2B, if he comes back. His best plays last year were reaction plays at 3B. When he had time to think about the ball coming his way, not sure he'd make the play. Made a lot of ESPN highlight plays when he didn't have to think about it though!
Campbell is a highly rated shortstop 2021 recruit with speed and a bat to go with superior fielding skills. I fully expect him to step in for Waddell unless something unforeseen happens.
I'm guessing Hendricks is his real name and everyone calls him Hank or something like that.
We have no good way of knowing reasons guys enter the portal. There could be so many reasons... baseball related & otherwise.
His scholly was cut.
