Happy Choose Day


July 16, 2024: Watch for the temptation to be discouraged and receive unwarranted criticism. Know that you are My own special treasure, and disparaging words are not from Me, says the Lord. The correction that I bring will not result in despair, but will give hope for newness of life and an opportunity to grow spiritually. Galatians 5:22-23 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law
 
For those like myself who don’t know much about the MLB draft, how high does one generally need to be drafted to where it’s worth forgoing college?
Marco explained it to me yesterday,
mainly first 10 rounds.... [But] a team can save money early in draft by underpaying slot value and then overpay later. So the round drafted is less important. All depends on what asking price the kids have put out there.

[If the Vols] lose less than 5 [commitments] from [our] class (#1 class) and it’s a home run.

Also, from the baseball forum:
Thus far, two of our signees have been drafted and it’s almost a certainty that they’ll sign. Both were expected to go, so this wasn’t really a surprise. Both are at the SS position, where we’ve already got some depth.

Aside from that, it’s looking like we’ve got a great shot to get both of our top pitching prospects (Seibert and Kuhns) to campus next fall. That’s incredible news. Anything can happen for the remainder of the draft, but honestly things couldn’t have gone much better for us to this point. We’re likely to retain a huge chunk of a very talented class, so prepare for a fun year.
Also, on what Marco explained about slot value: #591.
