re: What Tigers go in the MLB Baseball draft?

Probably not a whole lot. I think he ends up coming back for his senior year.

The thing is, he can't really improve his draft stock much by coming back. He had a great year this year. He's not going to all of a sudden hit for power or develop plus plus speed in the outfield.

So, he doesn't stand to make more money by coming back. The question is whether he wants to give pro ball a shot now or enjoy one more year of college.

It would suck for sure, but I think Slaughter would be a candidate to move to the OF in that situation should he stay.

If Slaughter stays, he could be looked at out there.

It's a NE LA thing. Several schools have gotten bashed for it, namely West Monroe, but it's the parents doing it.
With the change in rules, the hold back has to happen by 5th grade, their is no way the high school is really involved. Many of the kids move from district to district so the kid will end up at the high school they want them to play for.

In another thread I have this ongoing list, am I missing anyone or anything?

By my count for 2018-2019 roster:
- Turang drafted in 1st, expected to sign
- Kelly drafted in 8th round, expected to sign
- Bush drafted in 8th round, expected to sign
- Sanders drafted in 12th round, expected to sign
- Feduccia drafted in 12th round, expected to sign
- Caball drafted in 14th round, not sure if he will sign, shouldn't be much money there from Brewers
- Slaughter drafted 18th round, I would believe he sticks around for his junior year and still have leverage
- Duplantis drafted 19th round, unsure if he will sign

Current Roster Outlook:
(1) SR. OF Antoine Duplantis
(2) SR. INF Brandt Broussard
(3) SR. INF Chris Reid
(4) SR. INF Bryce Jordan
(5) SR. LHP Taylor Petersen
(6) SR. RHP Clay Moffitt
(7) SR. RHP Caleb Gilbert
(8) SR. LHP Brandon Nowak
(9) JR. INF Josh Smith
(10) JR. INF Jake Slaughter
(11) JR. OF Zach Watson
(12) JR. RHP Matthew Beck
(13) JR. RHP Will Reese
(14) JR. RHP Zack Hess
(15) JR. RHP Todd Peterson
(16) SO. RHP Eric Walker
(17) SO. OF Daniel Cabrera
(18) SO. INF Hal Hughes
(19) SO. C Braden Doughty
(20) SO. RHP Nick Storz
(21) SO. OF Nick Webre
(22) SO. RHP AJ Labas
(23) SO. RHP Devin Fontenot
(24) SO. RHP Trent Vietmeier
(25) SO. RHP Ma'Khail Hilliard
(26) SO. LHP John Kodros

Recruiting Class:
(27) JR. RHP Aaron George
(28) JR. C Brock Mathis
(29) JR. C/1B Saul Garza
(30) FR. RHP Jaden Hill
(31) FR. RHP Landon Marceaux
(32) FR. RHP Cole Henry
(33) FR. RHP Will Ripoll
(34) FR. RHP Riggs Threadgill
(35) FR. RHP Rye Gunter
(36) FR. RHP Chase Costello
(37) FR. LHP Easton McMurry
(38) FR. OF Elijah Cabell
(39) FR. INF Drew Bianco
(40) FR. OF Andrew Lee
(41) FR. INF Gavin Dugas
(42) FR. OF Giovanni DiGiacomo
(43) FR. C CJ Willis
(44) FR. 1B Cade Beloso

At this point...is everyone assuming that Jaden Hill & C.J. Willis end up here?

I think Hess & Watson are definitely coming back. Those are really the 4 main undrafted threats to sign.

Any new info on Cabell or just a feeling?

Brewers draft another high school Pitcher.

25th round about to start

My biggest fear with Cabell is that he opts JUCO in early July. I would love for anyone to interview him or get a coaches take because everything surrounding him has been really quiet this spring.

The Brewers have three high school players taken in the top 73 picks, these guys will have the most leverage.

They also drafted Aaron Ashby in round 4 who has a full scholarship to Tennessee so they won't be able to low ball him and may even need to overpay a bit.

They drafted three college seniors but that 6, 7, and 10th round slot is only 586k combined. Assuming the three sign for 30% which is being very conservative that leaves them 410k left to sign the other 7 top 10 round picks assuming every person signs on slot.

I'm guessing Cabell has a high number as well.
