Come on man, you are too smart for this. Don't let your Oriole fandom steer you in the wrong direction. Not even the Orioles can screw this up. Its automatic, Gausman is done at LSU.

J.D. Drew was the 2nd pick in 97 and didn't sign with Phillies.

That's Cajun French for "I got options, so ya'll better convince me with dollar signs, yeah?"

Let's look at this scenario....

KG comes back and leads LSU to the CWS title and gets a better contract that he would have this year.

Then he looks pretty smart and is happy above all.

The odds of him getting drafted higher is extremely low

I mean, he was the first pitcher taken. He won't improve on that. And moving up to one is unlikely. He's not a 1/1 talent unless next year's draft is down as much as this one's was, which I doubt.

I'd say even lower...he has so little room for improvement draft-wise. The team that drafts him would probably change, but that's about it.

I see his stock actually going down if he returns next year as a more likely possibility than his stock going up. He gets hurt or has a bad couple of outings and he could drop even farther in the draft. I haven't looked at next year's projected first rounder, but while Gausman is a first round talent, he could get passed up by two or three arms, which, depending on a team's need, could see him drop 10 spots in the draft.

Not worth the risk, KG. Take your money.

Only thing I can think is he could get drafted by a different team with an owner willing to pony up more guaranteed money; otherwise, I seriously doubt he comes back.

Even if KG comes back and has a sub par year, he still is a top 10 pick on talent alone. The only risk, albeit a big one, is injury. The smart and usual choice here is to take the money now, but he's not an idiot if he comes back.

Over under 20 page thread Friday afternoon on Gausman decision?

It really doesn't matter, people are smoking crack if they think he isn't signing. He isn't going to pass on 4 million dollars because of a few dollars.

I look at it this way... either I'm going to be pretty excited and happy on friday or I'm just going to say, "yep, oh well it was expected" and go about my day.

Shutup fig, you have no idea what he is doing, is it likely? No, could it happen, anything COULD happen.
