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

[youcancallmeAl]

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.

If the pros agree with the analyst who talked about Seth at the moment he was drafted, he profiles more of a second baseman than an outfielder. I could see him wanting to come back a year to compete for the second base job - which is open - at UT. If he wins it and has a good season, his stock might increase. On the other hand, he might not win it. He couldn't win it last year against a so-so defender in Ortega. It will be very interestting to see what he does.

If he can't win it, then maybe he's better off as an OF?

Yeah, but then he's back in the draft next year in the same position. I have a feeling the pros don't care for him as an outfielder due to an average throwing arm, hence the ref to second base. His other option is to take the offer and try to learn to play 2B in the minors.

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

They are stopping at the end of the 10th round today. 11-20 tomorrow.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

MM in the 7th round. That's crazy he was our mop up guy and still a top 10 round pick.

Texas is not the true South, and the Astros are cheaters.

I didn’t expect to hear McLaughlin’s name today, do you think we see Luc, Evan, Kirby, Sewell and Red, get drafted tomorrow?
Man I would give anything to see those 5 guys make it!

They really attacked our bullpen today.

 

[Volprofch05]

Amazing that from our picks in the first 7 rounds alone, you could field a team with 4 pitchers and every position covered except C, 1B, and SS (could check with the Red Sox about a SS )

restock and reload, if you’re a top pitcher out there, you have to seriously consider UT

 

[VolPack22]

Damn! Oh well, it was worth a shot.

The kids that they give all the losing team’s championship merchandise to wouldn’t even want a Mets jersey

 

[Volprofch05]

now thats funny right there……..

Imma lose it if the Sox select Lawson tomorrow and Mookie finally has his Vol

 

[volz2wallz]

Getting gutted by the draft...lol....like OT says restock and reload...hopefully this is every yr...vitello has this place in a special place and just think not even got his facilities yet...

 

[VolPack22]

Reminder: Cancel Volpacks autographed Tidwell Mets jersey birthday gift.

I would just donate it to the Vols baseball program or one of those kids in the hospital they visit. Sorry Blade, I love you but no Mets merchandise allowed.
