Baseball team and the MLB draft

[PhD Gator]

Looks like our baseball team might get hit pretty hard by the draft this year. ESPN just released their Big Board and they have a bunch of our Juniors listed in their top 100.

Puk - #6
Dunning - #59
Reed - #65
Shore - #68
Alonso - #78

It's a good problem to have because it shows how much talent we have on this team. But will be tough to not take a step back next year potentially losing so much talent early to the draft.

We will probably have a top 5 class coming in plus there's a lot of underclassmen talent left. We will be legit as long as Sully is around.

Agreed. Sully's pulling in top classes every year - just gotta go get that NC.

How long until Ox and the gang start calling for his head again?

In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

I think this is the year that we finally do it! It would be nice to have NCs in both Baseball and Softball this year.

Puk is the only one to worry about because he's regressed done this year but he has a huge upside based on size and arm strength so he will get a nice chunk-o-change thrown at him.

Dunning? Is he a sure thing to go? I guess if he is getting good feedback and is a 2nd round pick, but he is not even in the starting rotation.

Seriously? Of those 5 guys that are projected in the first three rounds, I'd think 3 or 4 of them will go pro, or seriously consider going. Shore is gone for sure - he can't have any better season than he's having this year and would be foolish not to make the jump, IMO. Alonzo leads us in BA, RBIs and HRs (the triple crown) - he's gone.
