C Romero Jr - has he done enough to warrant being selected? Similar profile to Chinea.
1B Deichmann draft eligible soph - I would say needs another year.
2B Freeman Jr - I would say needs another year
SS KRob Jr - I would say needs another year, will probably get drafted late.
CF Fraley Jr - will probably go, his stock is still high, a power surge down the stretch might help him go higher
LHP Poche Jr - will probably still go
RHP Stallings draft eligible soph - might get drafted based on velocity, could go
RHP Newman Jr - could go
RHP Bugg - Jr - too inconsistent, probably needs another year
RHP Reynolds Jr - too inconsistent, but his velocity is up and maybe he's ready to go if drafted at all
LHP Valek Sr - senior sign
RHP Bain draft eligible soph - needs another year
RHP Riley Smith Jr was drafted and almost signed last year, injury will hurt his stock

I also think he needs another year. Hopefully Paul hasn't chased him off just yet

Fraley and Poche are probably gone. I think the rest will probably be gone. Deichmann is a wildcard because he is a lefty that has shown flashes of power and mlb teams might reach based on his potential but I wouldn't bet on it.

Deichmann for some reason just seems like a player that would leave when he gets chance. Idk why I have that feeling. Hope he stays though

C Romero Jr - I think could be gone if he isn't promised more duties next season
1B Deichmann draft eligible soph - Needs to stay
2B Freeman Jr - Very small, unlikely leaving early
SS KRob Jr - 1 more year at SS would do him wonders
CF Fraley Jr - 1st or 2nd round selection, gone
LHP Poche Jr - Top 10 round selection, gone
RHP Stallings draft eligible soph - Could use more devlopment on a second pitch, but velocity is very good
RHP Newman Jr - Gone
RHP Bugg - Jr - stay for senior year, velocity is meh
RHP Reynolds Jr - stay for senior year
RHP Bain draft eligible soph - definitely needs to come back
RHP Riley Smith Jr - Probably gone one way (draft) or other (transfer)

I don't see Romero leaving unless he gets drafted higher than anticipated. He bleeds purple and gold and enjoys day to day life on campus. That being said with the new draft rules era it's even harder to speculate on guys like this.

FIFY, but I'd say Newman is the only other one that has a >50% chance of going. (Besides Valek obviously)

Although Deichmann is one of my favorites to watch, his numbers really aren't that good. Couple that with being an average fielder, I don't think he will get drafted high enough this year to go.

his tools are more important than his raw numbers. his numbers are good enough

I think Deichmann explodes next year if he decides to stay. He has all the tools, just needs a bit more work

Deichmann shows two pretty big tools, power and for his size, speed.
Unless he tells scouts to stay away he could get drafted on potential

What position would he play at the next level? He doesn't have a solid position now.

I think you people are rating Fraley way to high Not that he won't go but 1st or 2nd round. His stick just is not there.Where is the power? the RBI's ? Plays a great center field, but more was expected.In my opinion batting him 2nd is a waste.

Who is going to throw the ball back into the infield for him?

Good points here, but is he really THAT big to draft for potential? Did he even get drafted out of high school?

I think Poche and Fraley are the only ones that go.

Though Fraley's lack of power development has been weird.

So apparently you know more than the experts? Every major projection I've read has him projected 1st or 2nd round
