re: Will Bear Jones be back at LSU next year?

A lot depends on his price and who drafts him. Teams with higher slot pools can sometimes pay over slot if they save money on other picks. Slot value for first pick in the 3rd rd is 1.1 million. He has a lot of leverage since he can come back. Most teams interested will have an idea if he will sign before they draft him.

He needs a lot of development. Would be a smart move to stay !

His current projection is the 7th-9th RD, despite what the “He Gone” crowd is saying. Griffin Herring is a bigger risk of being offered enough money to leave.

No chance in hell he returns here next season
Why do you say that? He can come back without losing his leverage in the next draft. Perhaps he can get some real NIL money that will give him a start in life in the likely event that he never receives a MLB check. Plus he would have a blast next season instead of shuffling around Single A ballparks on a bus and eating at Dennys.

I saw an article the other day on ESPN+ that had their top 150+ draft prospects on it. I'm not sure how good ESPN is with that, but he wasn't listed.
Were Herring and Jump in there

Most recent lists have Jump in the 100-125 range as far as overall prospect lists, Herring is in the 175-200 range. I’m sure both will get calls to determine their number. Slot value for pick 100 is just under 700k, but depending on the team, I’m sure both could have a million dollar offer to consider.

He won’t lose leverage and wouldn’t he rather be BMOC another year

Agree why go sit in Single A the whole year. Should stay one more year.

IIRC, it was both of them, Holman and White. Hurd was in there as well, which is why I kind of questioned the list.
The list was 154 players total and was made up of high school and college prospects. It was their MLB draft rankings 2.0.

Despite his struggles, Hurd has some of the best stuff on the pitching staff and scouts see that. He's just not consistent at all. His problem is more between the ears IMO.

he's behind a slew of other college position players ahead of him but will still have a decision to make, probably looking at anywhere from sandwich type pick thru the 3rd round depending on what he tells teams leading up to draft
He could come back and with another strong year vault higher into the first round
it's a stacked college position player draft this year and that's not even taking into account the college pitchers
following will be first round picks:
Condon
Montgomery
Cag
Kurtz
Bazzana
Wetherholdt
Tommy White has fell a little bit to later in the first round

it will depend on how much money they throw at him.
And I inagine he’ll have a good number he made significant strides this year.
SEC Stats
23- .259/.375/.459 5 HR 34 SO 17 BB
34 a .290/.418/.630 9 HR 34 SO 19 BB (in about 20 more
plate appearances)
I think lester has a point. the power is there. need to work on the SO but he’s striking out less than last year.
Pitcher is sort of feel like if you’re offered a decent amount you always have injury in the back of your mind. batters may be more
likely to make a bet on themselves.
If he can make another jump next year like he did this year he would be a monster.

I agree. He's got some good pitches, but just can't put it all together for whatever reason.
My surprise with him being there is more because of just how bad he's pitched this season. I guess I just find it hard to see him in the top 150 draft prospects when he can't even pitch an inning for us anymore.

lemme guess. Hes a sophmore so you think he has to go back one more year. Google man.. Google.
Posted on 5/15/24 at 12:47 pm to Northwest Louisiana
He needs one more year to cut down the strike outs and get more plate discipline. There are more polished players. He could be a round 3-4 player. Right now he’s probably a round 7-10 player
Posted on 5/15/24 at 12:58 pm to Geauxld Finger
Some of the latest prospect rankings has him as a 3-4 round guy right now. 7-10 is way out the ballpark there. With the power he has he wouldn't get past the 5th. It will all depend on the money and if he wants to stay on campus another year vs traveling in low/high A for a couple years.

This.
The difference between AA and AAA is only about $5k per year.
But the difference in a signing bonus from being drafted even one round higher is more substantial.
With his developmental trajectory, he can improve his hitting skills by staying another year. As a 1B with poor running form (that Jay doesn't care about developing), he's not as likely to be injured as other position players.

It only takes one team falling in long with him...with that being said I think it's a 50/50 at this point.
I'm more worried about Griffin Herring, getting him to stay another year could make or break LSU's rotation in 2025 (without counting transfers).
