I think we really need Amick as well. Cant have to many big bats.

Especially since Galanie doesn't sound like a sure thing.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Causey
Snead
Galanie
Peebles
Got the 4 we needed, hopefully Galanie doesn’t go pro, especially if Zane does
Holman
Amick
Getting Holman is really the last key piece imo

I want the last 2 as well. I’m greedy.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

To note: Galanie told me he’s leaning towards going Pro, he said he’s an older player but if he feels like teams are taking advantage of him he will come to Tennessee.

Eh. Not a fan of someone else using us for leverage again. Same thing with Reggie Crawford last year. This numbs my excitement.

Exactly. I wish anyone luck when it comes to the draft. But I dont want to lose out on someone else because we played his hand to long.

Is Galanie a highly rated prospect? He's not a 1st rounder like Crawford is he?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I had not heard a single mention of Galanie going pro during this last week until just now, and it seems like it’s being discussed everywhere.

Don’t have to be a first rounder to use us as leverage. He’s an older player. He will have no leverage after this next season.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

True, especially him being a righty. Tennessee didn’t have enough big power right handed bats

Which is wild to say. Usually left handed bats are a premium. Tony has seemed to cover the left handed market well with bats and arms

Other than Moore and Zane being a switch. That’s all the power they really had on the right sight side. Getting Peebles and Galanie has helped a lot. More I think, makes Amick more important than what I said before

BVS… it never fails

 

[Gilbert]

Meh on this one. Good player I’d love to have but sounds like he has no intention of making it to campus.

Eric Cain just said Tennessee really isn't worried about him getting drafted. I guess we will see.

Opposite of what Ben McKee said funny enough. Ben said TN doesn’t seem to think he makes it to campus.

What did RGW say?

Yeah, he just reiterated what he said and said it will depend on where he gets drafted.

Its just interesting to see how Tony has attacked getting left side talent. We have 10 pitching committs listed on Perfect Game..... 8 of those are from the left side. Tony has made it a point to bring in lefty hitters and pitchers.

nothing yet. will keep you updated!

 

[Weezer]

All jokes aside, it's hard to get excited over a "maybe".

Yeah. Great player. Glad he wants to be a Vol. But we’ll see if he actually is. Amick is the important one right now. Really need to land him.

 

[Putbacks]

Yeah, still hoping to hear some more….amickable news!

[TheMookieMonster]

Eric Cain just changed his tune from saying Tennessee isn’t worried to “If Galanie gets drafted, he’s gone.”

 

[Vtonerider]

If he has the arm. He wasn’t the best defensive 2B this year, either.

I agree. He was inconsistent defensively, he was decent on the right side. Surprisingly he was 3rd in the conference in walks which somewhat mitigates his higher-than-average strikeouts per PA.

 

[TN_gal]

Galanie's commitment sounds like a leverage move to me.
