re: Who gets drafted and leaves the baseball team this year.

bookmarked

Good call. You can let me know when I'm right.

I agree, DEPENDING on incoming pitching. It's unlikely LaMarche gets his control in college under...control. But if we rally arent bringing in much in the form of pitchers to replace him then ask him to stay.

And thats without even looking at it from his perspective. He is a reliever so it isn't like he is going to be an early pick by coming back, he has been in school for 4 years, and he has already lost a season due to surgery. There is a good chance he'll want to start his career even without any encouragment.

I heard from a family member of a player on the team that no matter where a Ross is drafted, he is gone. TIFWIW

I mean, it would be stupid to leave if he somehow falls to late 20's/early 30's.

If that happens, Mainieri needs to get Austin Nola on the phone with Ross

---

I don't think Ross is going to drop anywhere near there so it shouldn't matter, but even if he did he could probably still get as much as Nola did. Under the new CBA college seniors are going to be picked in the top 10 rounds that would normally be lower because the money saved on their bonus can be used to sign other top, or expensive, picks.

you cant trick me like that

rumbelow will not return. you can count on that. hes gone.

Ross is batting so poorly, that he may be back next season.

I'm definitely not a baseball scout, but I thought that with catchers, defense is the key, and batting is an afterthought.

Additionally, given the stress that catchers place on their knees, wouldn't coming out a year early be in Ross' best interests?

Jones, Eades and Ross are gone IMO unless the college experience is huge in their life.

I don't envision Ibarra going as high as many believe he may go. Still, he may go if the lure of money is great enough for him.
