I recall a thread from a week or so ago about the certainty of Laird being drafted and the possiblity of him signing . What gives??

-Arm, can't turn on a lot of pitchers, -power. He's a great college player and will be drafted but unless he does some serious upper body development to generate some power, it won't be very high. I think he can be a good pro player, but I'm no scout.

Not trying to flame the guy but the only real talent he displayed this year was his speed. He is a slap hitter that had a down year (compared to last year) and his arm is very suspect. Hopefully he can work to improve these things because he is a great athlete and his improved play may be a catalyst for next season. Imagine the nightmare for other teams if both he and Stephenson hit .340 or better next season.

Probably because he put it out there that he was coming back to school. He was on some top 500 prospect lists earlier in the season.

There was also talk about Tyler Moore going in the 30th round and Jared Foster going in the 10th.
No one here knows jack shite about the MLB draft

Slap hitter with a noodle arm

Because teams like the Padres would rather throw away a pick on Johnny Manziel than draft a guy who could actually help their team.

Laird isn't eligible for the draft! He is only a sophomore.

They don't draft softball players in the mlb draft.
