(Updated 8/2/23) 2023 MLB Draft and Roster Management Discussion Thread

[Weezer]

Bryce Jenkins to the Mets.

 

[vol66]

Bryce Jenkins goes to the Mets at pick 516

 

[931Vol]

Austin Jaslove. I thought he did a great job playing SS when Ahuna wasn’t eligible.

Eh I wouldn’t consider hitting .189 against predominantly non-SEC opponents to be great.

 

[Weezer]

3 rounds to go.

 

[vol66]

To 18 we go.

 

[GOBO-Baseball02]

Not hating at all because they both have good arms, just crazy to see two dudes who combined for 23 innings this year get drafted.

I guess Tony just didn’t see what they could do.

Also, Bryce Jenkins just got drafted by the Mets (above slot). Only 16 innings for him.

3 VFL relief pitchers drafted late with combined 39 innings.

Not hating at all, just too many pitchers.

 

[vol66]

This is like watching paint dry now, unless you gotta dog in the fight.

 

[vol66]

Wow, Tanner Witt

 

[Ryno14]

White Sox and Braves open up the 2nd half of the season on Friday.

Tony La Russa started his managing career in Knoxville as Knoxville was a farm club of the Chicago White Sox back in 1978.

Guessing White Sox probably wishing they had kept him on right about now

 

[greasemachine]

Wow, Tanner Witt

Did he finally go???

 

[vol66]

Did he finally go???

Yep round 18, 541

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

The JUCO Kid will be the SS.

 

[vol66]

Moving to Rd. 19

 

[Weezer]

Wow, Tanner Witt

I think he has another year of eligibility.

 

[WGWTFA98]

I think he has another year of eligibility.

At the point of the draft where teams are gonna sign super talented guys who fell but likely won’t sign, just to see if they can change their minds

Happened to Seth Halverson before he transferred here. He declined as I am sure Tanner Witt will too

 

[vol66]

I think he has another year of eligibility.

I dunno. I do know, he’s a super talent, highly ranked, double digits, had an injury, still.

 

[Weezer]

Last round.

I agree with ya. But that’s insulting.

 

[BruinVol]

I agree with ya. But that’s insulting.

Why is it insulting ?

 

[tennesseefan31]

Combs and Denton undrafted. And only Rucker of the signees.

 

[Weezer]

And it's done.

 

[Weezer]

Cam Sewell is out of eligibility, isn't he?

 

[Orange.]

Congratulations to all our Vols!

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Combs and Denton coming back would help a ton. Denton would probably be moved to 2nd with Amick playing 3rd. C Moore would be moved to LF or RF where he is playing for Team USA

 

[greasemachine]

yes
