Bless the hearts of the pitchers going to the Rockies.

Arky probably loses one.

Arky probably loses one.

I know slot value isn't always what they sign at, but I look at the slot value of that pick, $1.7M, and I think, if Arkansas is able to even come close to that with NIL, we might be in trouble.

The announcers are addressing some of the issues.

 

[Weezer]

Another Arky commit selected.

Issues of NIL? Not currently watching. Following along online.

 

[VolPack22]

Yankees take a Vandy commit.

Yankee Doodle Vandy

Yep, basically up to this point most drafted will go, as we progress to rounds 3-10, the quote was 99% go.

I could see Griffin Merritt putting further schooling on hold if he gets the right offer.

He will likely not get an aggressive offer.

 

[Weezer]

Another Vandy commit selected.

 

[knoxvol52]

The best moment of watching this draft was when that little kid who had that deadly cancer be able to survive and get to announce his hometown Mariners selection. Now that's what it should be about..

 

[Weezer]

Braves take another pitcher.

 

[knoxvol52]

Mets select same guy from last year that wouldn't sign with them,makes sense

 

[Volprofch05]

@TheMookieMonster do you have any idea which shortstops the Red Sox are looking to draft this year?

Now we know!

50. Boston Red Sox: Nazzan Zanetello, SS, Christian Brothers College (Mo.) HS

 

[Weezer]

Caden Grice from Clemson was just drafted by the DBacks. He looked good against us. Little surprised he didn't go higher.

 

[Weezer]

Ole Miss commit just taken. Seeing a lot of SEC commits go.

 

[Weezer]

And the Braves take another pitcher.

 

[vol66]

See y’all tomorrow, could be a big day for us.

GBO!!!

 

[txbo]

True, but if you go in the first round, it's hard for me to imagine NIL will match what you'll make going pro. Or even come close.

Top of 1st, yes. Bottom will be challenged in a few years.

MLB deserves the challenges. No sleazier draft in all of professional sports.

You really think NIL will offer over a million dollars to a college baseball player? I could see it in football and basketball, but has baseball reached that level yet?

Scoreboard, bishes! Great Doe moment.

some of that money is also education for high school if they decide to go back along with some other things. Also in the minors you make crap monthly and food allowance is in play for what its worth

I certainly trust your opinion, txbo...but please enlighten me. I just don't follow any draft routines. What's the situation?
