(Updated 8/2/2022) 2022 MLB Draft and Roster Management Discussion Thread

I tried to tell people scouts loved Seth prior to him coming to UT and his average season wouldn’t deter them. Some on here didn’t even think he’d be drafted. He has great tools that scouts love.

any of our commits been selected?

Don't believe so, outside of UConn transfer Crawford in 1st

Great 4th OFer type with some potential to slide in as a utility guy. I think Seth has a pretty decent chance at making it all the way.

He hit .339 and had a .916 OPS. I know this team spoiled a lot of y’all but that’s definitely not “average” lol

I would be shocked if Ortega (and Stephenson) don't go pro. Losing a lot of leverage by coming back after stellar years.

^^^^. Good to see guys get rewarded for balling out in the SEC.

McLaughlin to the White Sox.

Here's last year's draft for comparison:

-Chad Dallas (4th round)
-Liam Spence (5th round)
-Max Ferguson (5th round)
-Connor Pavolony (7th round)
-Jake Rucker (7th round)
-Jackson Leath (12th round)
-Sean Hunley (19th round)

I’m not saying he is average. People on here tried to tell me that he was just average and didn’t do well in SEC play. I got a lot of disagreement for saying he’d go high.

I could have sworn there was a TV interview recently where he talked about Stephenson coming back? Maybe I dreamed it?

I think that was his interview with 3HL on 104.5 The Zone. He did say that Seth wants to come back and loves it here. He wants to focus on mastering one position.

We'll see if he comes back now.

Did people expect McGlaughlin to go that high? Feels like a lot of our guys are going sooner than I thought today.

 

[SGMVols]

This draft is going to give us even more momentum in recruiting. This is incredible.

At least I know I'm not losing my mind...


Okay, I probably am losing my mind, BUT I knew I had heard that somewhere.

You're not losing your mind.

Royals drafted a pitcher from Walters State CC.

I predict he comes back to Knoxville and plays another season.

7 Vols drafted in the first 6 rounds, the brand is hotter than a tea kettle!

Hotter than Stella!

 

[youcancallmeAl]

If Stephenson goes, who is our CF next year?

Booker. Book it, Danno!

 

[Weezer]

What's the stopping point for today? Is 10 it for today and 11-20 tomorrow, or are they going further today?
