Vols should win tomorrow

But winning 9-8 won’t be what I think is most important about tomorrow. Tidwell needs to pitch well

No disagreement there but we’re gonna need more than Tidwell to give us 5 or 6, then what...we haven’t had a dependable answer for that one pretty much all year and what happened today ain’t a confidence builder,

MSU takes down VU.

It’s time for kids to move on but there aren’t many guys that will be high $ drafts I don’t think

Beck and Ferguson are still high on boards for next year. It’s about tools and projection, not so much results based. Both have 4 tools and could develop a 5th.

2 tool guy, speed and avg. His avg won’t play as well at the next level because he has mostly ground ball hits. Infielders at the next level have great gloves and rocket arms. No power and noodle arm so he isn’t high on MLB boards.

He also has the ability to wreck havoc on the base paths and distract pitchers. Unfortunately he is Willie McGee and no body wants that type of player any more. That being said he should be higher on MLB lists because the stolen base would be a better weapon if the losers with the Calculators were not making decisions and turned MLB into a snooze fest of 3 outcome baseball (out, walk, HR). I miss this type of player at the top of a lineup.

Hunley will be available tomorrow along with Walsh, Pleasants, Housley, and possibly McLaughlin and Sewell.

McLaughlin - 23 pitches
Sewell - 19 pitches

We will be fine if Tidwell can give us 5 or 6 and the offense gives us 5 or 6 runs.

Don't understand why Vitello stuck so long with Connell in the 7th tonight.

I agree but it doesn’t bode well for being drafted very high with just speed. He will get a shot though and maybe he proves them wrong. He needs to enjoy his college career and take advantage of that free education.

Yep on the 5/6 run part.

According to the MLB Draft link below, Ferguson and Pavolony are not in the Top 150 prospects any longer. Signees Chase Burns and Brady House are in the top 20 though.

Different outlets have different top 150 but yeah Burns and House are consensus top 2 round prospects right now. We can forget about House, he is a 5 tool position player so not much risk. Burns on the other hand is in the most high risk position there is, RHP in High School along with being a bit undersized for a pitcher in the bigs. He could still make it to campus, depends on his number.

We never established a draft year, you said high draft prospects. The guy you said is a freshman so what are you talking about?

Well when a kid is a draft eligible Age and you are pushing their draft year back a year so they can figure it out I think that clearly makes my point that those guys aren’t elite prospects

Tidwell will be a elite draft prospect the year he becomes eligible. Let’s hope to the same level at Rocker and leiter but these guys you are mentioning that haven’t figured it out yet and need more years don’t belong in the same conversation sorry

Ferguson is draft eligible this year but Beck isn’t. Either way, you chose a guy that isn’t eligible to be drafted this year so I did the same. My point was that we have quite a few prospects on this squad which I thought you had said we didn’t. I could list at least 3 more but 2 are injured. Let’s just agree that we have prospects and also have a really good team.
