Me? That wasn’t a guess. That’s how much he turned down coming out of high school. It’s in the article from today.
So, you are saying that as we sit, he's NOT a first round talent?

I think that’s TBD. Talent is there. It’s not like it disappeared.

What kind of shitty arse roster management is this?
I know I'm piling on to the OP when I say this is a really, really bad take... but I'm going to anyways, because it's such a terrible take.
This isn't the 90s with Bo and Deion. Both baseball and football are full-time, year-round sports. Heck, look at the travel ball kids who now play travel baseball year round and don't play other sports anymore.
I appreciate what Mo tried to do. But it's very hard. When you don't give 100 percent of your efforts to either sport (because he was splitting time), other kids are going to move ahead of you. Especially at a place where there is a lot of talent.
I think PM was honest. Sure, Mo has the talent to work his way up. But he's behind right now. If Mo wanted to be patient and wait and work, his time would have come, in a year or two. Or, Mo can transfer, go play somewhere else for a year or two, and presumably get drafted.
I'm not a fan of what the transfer portal has done... I think it causes kids to not want to work hard enough to play and take the easy way out. In Mo's circumstance, I think the situation changed, so I'm not as upset at all.
I wish him well.

It’s undetermined right now. If he were to be drafted this year I don’t think any team would offer him 1.8 million dollars to sign.
He could transfer somewhere go off next year and change that for sure because the raw talent is there he just hasn’t focused on baseball enough to bring it to the next level. 1st round guys out of college aren’t developmental prospects that MLB teams want to wait a few years on. If that’s the case they just soon take a high school player that is 18 over a 21 year old. They want someone that they believe will be in the big leagues in 1-2 years.

I agree 100%

Based on what we know and a few assumptions, here are my thoughts summed up. They’ve been kind of spread out.
The Hamptons obviously had certain expectations when being recruited that didn’t translate this second year. Getting Crews and Drost were a big part of that change so I don’t really put any blame on anyone there. That being said, I do think PM should have given Hampton a start or two while Gio and Doughty were hurt and Bianco was hitting 0.100. Hell, Bianco was still getting garbage time innings vs TS and UNO in CF. I think a healthy Hampton is way better than y’all are giving him credit for.
I’m really interested in the quitting football story. PM has no reason to make that up yet it doesn’t make sense for Hampton to quit given the chances to play and his scholarship being through football.
Hope he does well wherever he goes. From everything I’ve heard it seems like he’s a good kid who works hard. The people calling him a quitter and a sore loser are assholes.

What is it like to be widely known as the crappiest poster on this board? Is it something you take pride in? Are you completely oblivious to it?
I can't imagine what is must be like to call yourself an LSU fan, knowing full well that you are hoping LSU struggles in baseball and basketball tonight because it'll weirdly give you some satisfaction that is not Orgeron losing.

I find it a bunch of things. Funny doesn't quite describe it though. Sad, pathetic, insane are a few of the words that fit better.

Thank you for continuing to derail every thread I post have a wonderful day.

I agree with this but I don’t think Bianco took as many at bats from Hampton as people are making it seem. Drost, Sanford, and Safford have taken the at bats that Hampton could be getting.
Also knowing the conversation that CPM and Hampton had in December could play a role in the playing time that Hampton has gotten. Maybe then CPM had an idea that he couldn’t count on him long term or maybe Hampton took that conversation the wrong way and his attitude changed. I do not have any knowledge of any of this and not trying to start rumors at all but it is something that could play into it all.

Well, apparently you are delusional too. I posted 13 pages into your shitty arse thread, and it was "derailed" from the second you hit submit. You sound like a cry baby arse liberal, always looking for somebody else to blame because you suck at life.

Nobody hates Mainieri more on this board than I do and nobody wants to see him gone today more than I do, but he did nothing wrong here.

He had hand surgery in January? Was that reported anywhere?
I thought he had hand surgery right before football season started? Remember seeing him wearing a cast in the pictures when players first reported to camp this past fall

So Hamilton should have been playing shortstop? I had to look this up myself because I was wrong but Bianco has zero starts in the outfield this year. He has been used as a defensive replacement late in games at times but he wasn’t taking away at bats from Hampton.
Sanford, Safford, and Drost are the three guys he was competing with once Gio got hurt.
I raised this already ITT, but it's easier for people to bring up Bianco because he hasn't been great at the plate. But this is accurate. Hampton is being passed up by other guys on the team, not Bianco.

This week says differently with Bianco getting CF reps and Hampton getting none.

I’m going to have to find the article but Paul said that Hampton had been rusty in practice and misjudged a few fly balls. It make sense that Paul is going to put someone out there as a defensive replacement that he is comfortable with.
