(Updated 7/13) 2021 MLB Draft and Roster Management Discussion Thread

Coltyn Kessler, Kentucky baseball catcher who is currently in the transfer portal. According to Ben, he's deciding among Tennessee, Arkansas, and LSU. He hasn't announced a transfer destination yet.

Wow, thought that dude was a Senior this past season. I sure hope all these transfers don't screw with the chemistry. All the talent in the world don't mean shizz if their is no chemistry. See UCLA, Louisville, and South Carolina who both had a ton of guys drafted but could not win.

Those teams don’t have TV.

Any word how the new college league that was the old Appalachian League is doing?

Hope your source is right

Me too. Things happen, especially because I was told he made a decision before the draft, but us losing Pav should only provide more reason to come here.

*squints with a magnifying glass*

Just how is that a W?

Good grief.

Any reason he didn't get drafted?

I haven’t seen it in person yet, so no first hand knowledge.

Any new news on Moore? I know he wasnt drafted. Im hoping he comes here, not a JUCO.

Haven't seen any updates on Moore. He's definitely one to keep tabs on.

I havent been in person, but I know a lot of locals that wont go, because they arent connected to a big league team.

I have fond memories in those parks.

Some of those affiliations lasted for decades, so I could understand why some people don’t like it. Over the years, the Twins had lots of guys go through Elizabethton, for example.

I don’t think this is particularly thread worthy, so…

The coverage of the MLB draft sucks.

Elizabethton was my team. Iconic American ball park with the Blue Ridge Mountains for a backdrop.
