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.

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 think Poche and Fraley are the only ones that go.

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

The only people that have a valid excuse to go that aren't seniors are Fraley and Newman.

Poche will probably go based on what the word is around town. He will stay in High A maybe AA for the next couple of years. I really just don't think he has it for AAA/Majors.

Deichmann will probably go just because CPM is a POS. He has alot of raw talent, just needs a good batting coach.

I don't really see anyone else being drafted high enough to realistically leave.

It is well known around LSU that KRob wants out. Fraley is gone too but it's more to chase a dream than run from Mainieri.

Highly doubt Romero leaves. Last I checked he was an engineering major and being from BR has to hold some importance.

Newman is gone.

Stallings and Deichmann should come back but likely won't. I don't think Deichmann has done much of anything this year, but I wouldn't blame him for not returning.

My take on the list.

C Romero Jr - Will be back
1B Deichmann - Has a ton of leverage this year, will improve his draft stock tremendously for the '17 draft with an above average junior season. I think he actually returns and tries to become a top 5 rounder, he's just not going to get there this June.
2B Freeman Jr - Will be back
SS KRob Jr - Don't see him leaving this year with the SS gig locked up.
CF Fraley Jr - Will sign with an MLB team
LHP Poche Jr - will sign with an MLB team
RHP Stallings draft eligible soph - Along with Deichmann the biggest question mark, see him returning.
RHP Newman Jr - Honestly I think Newman will sign with an MLB team, his stock will never be higher.
RHP Bugg - Jr - Will be back
RHP Reynolds Jr - Will be back
LHP Valek Sr - Senior
RHP Bain draft eligible soph - Will be back
RHP Riley Smith Jr - He hasn't been right the entire season, he'll still get a flyer by a team but after that it's all cloudy.
