Enllow, Pearson and Cabrera

0%

I feel good about enlow, on the fence about pearson, I feel like Cabrera is the most likely position player to go pro.

Yeah, that has me encouraged. He's just so damn good though. This is a deep class for high school outfielders though, so if he's got a number that teams don't want to meet, he could drop way below his talent would warrant.

Choupiquesushi said he's the best hitter he's seen and he knows baseball. I believe him. Pearson is 100% the best I've seen in high school. If they make it to LSU, they could make up the best OF ever at LSU with Watson.

First year one would be DH. Second year that would be the 3 in The OF.

When you have guys like these projected to go in the Top 5 rounds or so it's always safer to assume they go pro instead of make it to college. If they do make it here, make it a pleasant surprise instead of a disappointment if they sign for a few million.

You can throw Nick Storz in with these guys. Nate Pearson from JUCO as well.

Enlow - toss up
Pearson - LSU bound
Cabrera - gone

Nate Pearson from JUCO is expected to go late 1st, early 2nd.

Yeah, I've seen a couple of mock drafts with the Cubs taking him in the first. And other chatter that would indicate exactly what you said, late 1st early 2nd.

He throws in the triple digits and barely walked anyone this year in JUCO while routinely going 8 innings in his starts. The stuff got people's attention, the performance pushed him into the early rounds.

ETA: The D1baseball mock draft came out today and has NPearson going 24 to the Red Sox. Minorleagueball.com came out with their first mock today and are I think the third mock draft to have NPearson to the Cubs in the first round. Scout.com's 2nd Mock Draft (from Sunday) has him at 28 to the Blue Jays.

Pearson leapfrogged Cabrera in the latest rankings.

To me, independent of rankings, Pearson just seems like he wants to be at LSU more than Cabrera does.

I've said before I feel good about Enlow, but I'd still rate him and JPearson a toss up. Because even though it looks like they really want to get to campus, it's hard to turn down life changing money.

I'll probably post this a lot around the draft and the signing season after it (not directed at anyone in particular): But just because a kid chooses to sign MLB instead of coming to LSU does not mean he was using LSU as leverage for a contract or that he lied to our coaches about his intentions to come here or is a bad kid that only wants the money.
