Brent Rooker #35 Overall..

[57stratdawg]

To the Twins

 

[Bucksnort_Dawg]

No prospects of ours taken so far. Figured to see Quentin Holmes gone by now.

 

[DudyDog]

LSU had a juco pitcher taken at 28th. So that's a good thing.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Another first round pick for the billboards

Pilkington should be a definite for next year which will be 5 first rounders in the last six years. Come to MSU where first round draft picks play in the best stadium in the country.

 

[engie]

We will know Cannizaro is an ace by this time tomorrow if we haven't heard 5+ names called from among our commitment list...

 

[57stratdawg]

Heck of a stat. I feel like the next 10-15 years of SECW baseball is going to be a lot of MSU-LSU battles.

 

[57stratdawg]

If that's the case, it'll be time to get excited. Like really excited.

 

[Shamoan]

I think that is technically the second round??? Lange was last first round pick per guy on the MLB network....maybe not competitive balance/supplemental

 

[DawgatAuburn]

If that's the case, it'll be time to get excited. Like really excited.

Would it be time be excited, or time to be worried that our signees are overrated?

2nd round, says 2 on it!


(how did this get here?)

 

[engie]

It would indicate lower signability of the guys, meaning they really wanted to come play here and thus their number was higher than teams were willing to pay. You could think a couple of the projections might be wrong -- but we're talking about potentially double digit players here so projections largely cancel each other out both ways.

Going in the first 10 rounds with the current rules basically guarantees a guy is signing pro(a lot moreso than it did in the old system anyway)... Get past that point and there's a good chance of getting them to school.

 

[SanfordRJones]

The supplemental picks at the end of a round are considered to be part of the round they follow, so Rooker is a 1st rounder.

 

[engie]

Just lost Reynaldo Rivera at 57 overall.

 

[Utah_Chaney]

Yeah, he's gone.

 

[engie]

And there goes Quentin Holmes at 64.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

Losing Holmes and Rivera were damn near givens. What happens next tells the story.

 

[engie]

That's right

 

[Shamoan]

Either way, that slot is $1,930,000-ish. Congrats to him and his family.

I'm not putting a lot of stock into Cann's powers one way or another based on this class just because for the most part he didn't put it together. I have to wonder if a guy like a Holmes would have been in our class to start with had Cann been here in June of last year. Over the next couple of years I think we will really see the full effect of his superpowers.

Sort of like how Cohen's first class didn't count because Raffo recruited most of the players except for Justin Bussey, Nick Ray, and Jarrod Parks.

Of course Cohen's next class which was really the first one he recruited we saw him bring in Chris Stratton, Kendall Graveman, Nick Vickerson, and several other key players which became more indicative of our recruiting going forward.

We're seeing a parallel with that with Cann- Tanner Allen and Tyreque Reed in this class and then in next year's class we already have a commitment from Basiel Williams, Cole Winn, and Carter Stewart that makes me believe that those are more the types of guys we will be recruiting going forward. Of course, the big difference is Cohen had put together approximately half of our 2018 class together whereas Polk had not recruited or had a commitment in Cohen's "second" class with Stratton and others.

Chattanooga

is the AA affiliate for the Twins, too, so hopefully we'll get to see him in the future, in Jx.
