MLB draft

Questions for the board:
Who all do you think has a chance to get drafted?
And, what underclassmen do you think we'll lose?
Thanks, and I'll hang-up and listen....

Okey
White
Wilson
Bostic (LH pitchers that can throw fast are highly valued)
Chris Williams? I know he is only a sophomore but my understanding is if you go JUCO you can then go pro whenever you want.
Rohlman is also 3 years removed from high school so he is eligible to be drafted. It would be a toss up in my opinion as to whether he signs. No doubt he will be drafted but just not sure how high.
Schmidt
Triller
Andrews
All seniors and are out of eligibility. Only Schmidt warrants a look in my opinion.

Don't think Williams is draft eligible

he could have been drafted after JUCO (I think) but now that he's here we've got him for another year. He'll be over 21 and completed his Jr year.

Andrews will probably get a look late

he's big and throws pretty hard, probably worth the relatively small investment to a team to try to tweak his delivery and see if he improves.
I'm not sure if White or Wilson will leave, depends on where they're drafted and if they think they can improve their stock. at least one of them probably will though.
Krall might go, but he won't be drafted particularly high because he's a control pitcher.
Gibson took a job and is already gone.
Wouldn't be surprised to see transfers from several guys who aren't playing or Campana go ahead and call it a career (I think he graduated)

The MLB Network had a show the other night, and they rated Okey as about the 40th best prospect in the draft. A couple of the other college catchers who were ranked higher than Okey were projected as playing other position, so Okey has a good chance of going in the first round.

None of them should go with a high draft round if they don't have to. Not unless they are willing to play little man ball until they finally get dropped completely!!!

Okey, Wilson and Bostic if he can control his pitches.
Have the talent to play for a while.

By high round do you mean late round?

Carter has alot of momentum going into the draft. I see where some scouts have him as high as late first round now. Hard hitting 3rd baseball with a good bat. Will be in very high emand this week.
Wonder if he wants to head to college or the bus leagues.

If he goes 1st round he'll get over a $1 Million bonus

I'd go to the bus leagues for that kind of cheddar.
Senior year of high school and junior year of college are the years you have leverage. If you wait till you're out of college eligibility you have no leverage to negotiate.
