They knew he threw a party...


But in all seriousness. Congrats to Jake.


Tampa Bay Rays for anyone who cares.

Jake Fraley confirms to The Advocate he will forgo his senior season at #LSU and sign with the Tampa Bay Rays.

Not surprised. Good for Fraley. He was another fantastic player for us, and we know Tampa Bay is getting a special player. Wish him nothing but the best. Represented LSU well, and he will be missed.

I'm not too in the know about the baseball team. But will the pitcher commit that got drafted 4th go pro or come to school?


Nvm I see he'd get like 5 million. I guess that answers it.

His brother is the #1 player out of Deleware. I know Deleware but still impressive. He's committed to Tulane I think

TigerRuss was the one who constantly ripped on Fraley, here's a few gems from the Recruiting board (baseball class) thread:
LINK

quote:

Guy on page 3 says that he thinks Fraley will be gone.I think that he has been a under achiever this year and wouldn't be drafted that high. Remember before you talk about the teams youth, Fraley was supposed to be our constant. He's great in center field but we need him to step up on the offensive side. In my opinion batting him 2nd is a waste....


quote:

Fraley better step it up or he will be spending his senior season in Baton Rouge.


quote:

Seriously do any of you guys think that Fraley is having the type of season we expected from him ?




And from another thread:
LINK

quote:

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. ...


quote:

Jake Fraley can hit 350 and set the table in every game and play a good center field. After watching him for two years, I expected more. POWER POWER"Like I have said before, take him out of the 2 hole. If he is as good as you think he is , he should be batting 3rd or 5th. ...
