re: Who Will We Lose Off Of This Year's Baseball Team?

Eades will be drafted in the first 2 rounds.
Ross will probably be drafted in the top 10 rounds as will Jacoby Jones.
I don't know that I would consider that "marginal" enough to return.

Agree that it depends on what your definition of "marginal" is. For me it'd be the size of the signing bonus, and I don't know exactly where it makes a big jump. If Ross goes in the 10th round and his signing bonus is (pulling this out of my arse) $100K and Eades goes, say, in the 3rd and gets $750K, what does he do? Especially if another year at LSU gives him a chance to hone his hitting skills in a much better environment? Say he comes back and hits .290 his senior year and gets drafted in the 2nd or 3rd with his awesome defensive/pitcher handling skills.

Wouldn't that be WAY worth it? And even if he doesn't improve, he's no worse off than before.
