re: Why should Laird settle for $100 K rather than return to LSU?

To be honest, if I were a pro scout, I wouldn't draft him. He has a weak arm and his hitting is poor. His 2 strike approach is very bad. He half swings to just protect the plate. When he does actually swing he hits the ball pretty good but he doesn't do that consistently. He is fast and can catch but that's it.
He has to sign cause he might not get drafted this high next year.
