what’s he going to do next year that the Bigs have not seen.

what does a A/AA contract look like?

I hate to break it to you but he’ll never play ss at the MLB level. He’s not athletic enough or has a strong enough arm to play that position in MLB. Not to mention MLB has moved on to the point the SS position is one of the best hitters on most teams. That definitely won’t be MIlam. Y’all are acting like dude is the second coming of Bregman or something. Bregman is by far the best IF LSU has ever produced and Milam isn’t even close to Bregman from a talent, athletic, or even baseball IQ standpoint. He had a great freshman year and has declined every year since. That’s called once teams figure you out you have to make changes. Well Milan got figured out and he’s just not good enough to make the changes necessary to move into the elite level. He’s basically a GOOD college player. Not great and not elite. So his chances of having a successful MLB career aren’t very good.

Jason Armstrong mentions the Milam rumor at the end of the podcast, right before that he gives 4 names as a wishlist in the portal.

SS chris Ramirez Cal Baptist. .350 B/A with 4 errors

RHP Smith Bailey Arizona #40 prospect in 2027 draft

OF Sawyer Solitari Kent State .317 with 12 HR's

Landon Harrison Arizona St. .436 with 25 HR's

Altuve is the outlier. A truly generational talent for his size and first ballot HOFer. Milam was that high coming into the season. Milam is not currently that high on draft boards. The absolute highest he’ll go is 3rd rd. He’ll be lucky to receive a $1MM signing bonus. Try again next year. His stock won’t tank any further. He’s a good college player so he’ll likely be drafted right around where he would be this year unless he has a massive season which could catapult him back into the 1st or 2nd rd combined with what he did as a freshman.
