MLB draft thread

[Msuirondawgs]

Bauer has been the highest-ranked player available (according to MLB.com) since pick 114.

Almost through round 5 now too. This is why I said and assumed if he wasn't going after last night, he may not go at all. And yes I get it someone could overpay for him like they did DJ last year, but I guess I was factoring in the king of diks being his agent, which is notoriously famous for not backing down and hard-nosing teams off of a player

approximate pick value $407.30k

 

[onewoof]

approximate pick value $407.30k

on top of that its about $35K/year annual salary in the minors so spread that out over 4 years, he is looking at about $135K/year

If you're draft eligible as a college player, you need to sign that contract and go.

 

[maroonmania]

So, even if we do get him to campus, we're looking at blown out elbow midway through FR season, mediocre rehab season as a SO, and maybe one good year as a JR. **

Well, the one good year would beat what we got out of Bradley Loftin.

 

[maroonmania]

If a guy goes in the top 10 rounds you might as well consider them gone. They wouldn't get drafted there if the club didn't think they could sign them. Hickson gone.

Starting to get hopeful that we keep Jacob Parker though. We are well past where he should have been drafted if he was going to sign.

I think every pick that passes our chances on Bauer improves as the slot value diminshes and it takes more "over slot" to meet his asking price. Am I the only one surprised the Parker brother hasn't been selected?

Im surprised no doubt. If we get Parker and Bauer on top of a #1 portal haul...Oh boy

Through 7 rounds. How are we feeling about this draft so far?

Bauer and Jacob Parker still on the board...

Evan Siary taken #235

approximate pick value $233.40k

Dang, would have preferred not losing Hickson AND Siary but oh well.

That Ole Miss game made him some money.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Maybe we made it worth Bauer’s time to come to MSU and he let interested teams know?

 

[Dawgg]

Round 9 just completed. Jack Bauer still not taken.

 

[onewoof]

Round 10, Hines goes to Nationals #291

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Hines & Ligon will probably both sign for $20K because they have zero leverage

 

[Dawgg]

Round 10 complete. Bauer still available.

How low does he go before we think he’s coming to State?

 

[Duke Humphrey]

I dont see any upside for Parker and Bauer to go pro at this point.

 

[onewoof]

Ligon when Round 9 #262 to the Canadians

 

[Msuirondawgs]

Round 10 complete. Bauer still available.

At this point they both should be coming to campus

 

[Dawg1969]

Cards drafted a kid from Houston HS in Memphis. I saw him play a couple times. He hit bombs every time i watched him play. Pretty cool to see a kid get drafted that I watched. Ryan Mitchell, was a GA Tech commit.

Saw Gerald Moses out of Yazoo city do that when we played them , Drafted out of HS by Boston . Hit a homer his first major league at bat. Don't know if he got hurt or what , but he didn't last long . Think he still lives in Boston area.

If you're draft eligible as a college player, you need to sign that contract and go.

What if you are getting more to play college. $135 a year may be in our price range and he can get a new bonus in 3 years if he is really good.

and what about getting a free education and career. I would chose college over pros every time provided the money was close.

 

[bsquared24]

While I'm hopeful on our non-draftee's so far remember Mershown last year, not out of the woods yet.

 

[Dawgg]

Round 11 starting up.

 

[She Mate Me]

While I'm hopeful on our non-draftee's so far remember Mershown last year, not out of the woods yet.

Has his brother been picked? He'd be another nice piece to get to campus.

 

[Dawgg]

Luke Dotson picked in the 11th at #333.

11th round is over with Jack Bauer and Jacob Parker still available.

 

[maroonmania]

Hines & Ligon will probably both sign for $20K because they have zero leverage

Yep, both are senior savers so more money can be spent on other prospects.

 

[Dawgg]

There was also a kid out of Pearl River CC, Jacob Johnson, taken in the 11th. I thought he might have been a transfer, but no, he was a freshman there.

 

[maroonmania]

My understanding is that anyone rounds 11-20 can get up to $150K but anything over that counts against the bonus pool.

 

[Dawgg]

12th round is over Jack Bauer and Jacob Parker are still available.

 

[Dawgg]

Nate Williams goes in Round 13 at #391.

 

[onewoof]

The Mets bringing back this kind of energy, look out

 

[Dawgg]

Round 13 over - Jack Barker taken, but Jack Bauer and Jacob Parker are still available.

 

[Dawgg]

Dwight Gooden is ready to be his mentor.

 

[Dawgg]

Round 14 is over. Jack Bauer and Jacob Parker are still available.

 

[Dawgg]

Jacob Pruitt goes in the 15th round at #461.

Round 15 done with Jacob Parker and Jack Bauer still available.

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

It's apparent I over valued Jack Bauer.

 

[Dawgg]

Round 16 done with Jacob Parker and Jack Bauer still available.
