2023 Draft

[Buzzbomb]

Tech signee Antonio Anderson, SS from North Atlanta HS, taken early 3rd round by Boston. Projected pick value = $847K

 

[THWG]

Isaiah Drake taken in the 5th round by the Braves. So at least we'll get to see him within the Braves organization.

 

[gtbeak]

Jake DeLeo to Miami with 6:173. Good landing spot for him. Congrats!

162. Braves: $367,500 slot....

The Final ESPN Draft Rankings-
HS:
#40. Drew Burress
#45. Tai Peete
#72. Antonio Anderson
#272. Isaiah Drake
GT:
#186. Kristian Campbell
#282. Jake DeLeo

So Burress is the only one not drafted so far? What notional signing bonus are we down to?

Note Reid not drafted yet too?

The 7th Round last year was between 198.5K and 249K.
No Burress or Reid, yet.

Probably good on Burress as he probably told teams, no thank you.

Reid may have gone in the portal since he didn't expect to be drafted high enough. Hopefully he stays.

I had read somewhere that Burress might be a tough sign. So, good for us!

If I was a high school kid and had a chance to play at Ga. Tech and get a quality education and sign a measly 300k signing bonus I go to Tech. If I was Jake DeLeo I would come back another year would boost him up into a top 60 pick

The only problem for DeLeo is that he's a Junior. He'd have no leverage next year.

Do you want to be on this list? None of the 8 CWS teams is.

This is only prospective signees right?

I assume it's guys who signed LOIs with those [college] teams.

My thought was you "want" to have 100% of those signees land on campus. The bad extreme is you spend recruiting resources on the best HS players... they sign but never get to campus (wasted resources). Three doesn't seem like a crazy high number but some REALLY good programs obviously recruited a group not drafted (yet).

We recruit well and get guys drafted. It's just that winning thing which is the problem.

My guess was 90% of the top 100 were going to the draft. Someone else can figure out the numbers this year. One important aspect is defining the top 100 as guys who make it clear they won't sign don't have high draft pick wasted on them.

[Eli]

Should definitely come back

 

[GT33]

The A's gonna get him cheap.

 

[78pike]

Please correct me if I missed someone but it appears that we had Anderson, Peete and Drake drafted from our list of incoming recruits. And Campbell, Deleo and Finley drafted from our current players. Am I missing anyone?

 

[CINCYMETJACKET]

Should definitely come back

If I were drafted by the A's, I may go back to college. From what I've read, the owner of that team is a POS. Although may get to the majors quickly and then be traded if you perform well.
