MLB Draft

[FredJacket]

This move/decision is getting positive responses across the board. I have not seen anyone say otherwise.

Makes the most sense for the masses as well as those fortunate enough to be there for the CWS. Nice to NOT be during the actual playoffs or games. That was asinine and not fair to those guys.

Didn't know where to put this, but realignment would greatly affect the draft:

All about the business between MLB and MiLB and Indy leagues ........ https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/mlb-threat-pushes-negotiations-with-milb-to-another-level/ Money makes the world go round. Especially the entertainment world.

Got me to thinking that college programs are really an Indy league of types where players can't move out till 21 years old or 3 years experience .....

For Pitchers, the draw really is the 3 years working on technique and at the same time earning hours towards a degree. The stats are out there coming out of High School is lower percentage compared to coming out prepped/bulked, maturer, and ready to go out of college.

I doubt Hurter will go since he had Tommy John surgery last year. He can take the RS year this year and then still have being a junior as a bargaining chip with the team that drafts him.

and good for him to actually graduate with a degree and draft!

I think it depends how well Hurter does this year and how high a draft pick he gets. We obviously want him to do very well ........ but it could come at a cost next year for us. Your point is right, he can stay another year and still have leverage.

I think Hurter wasn't on others top 100 (like D1 Baseball) so we'll just have to wait and see.

Good ideas here
I like the finish in Fall and Draft in Nov option..... I also think they should only allow the corona year seniors to stay for FALL ONLY and vacate for Spring.
