Happy for Madrigal, a kid that is 5-7, plays Second base, and gritty as hell. 4th pick overall and I'm actually bigger than him.

I'm not very familiar with MLB. Do first round pick still spend time in the minors?

Yes, you can count on one hand players in the last 30-40 years that jumped straight to the majors. Mike Leake is the last I can remember to do it and that was mid 00's. Now you do see a few on a major league club by the end of the season. The royals had a pitcher do it in their WS run. Normally a top end first rounder will spend 2 full years in minors.

Murray plays baseball for Oklahoma? Wow, you figure they would have talked about him some.

And OU's Steele Walker goes in the 2nd round with the 46th pick. I know we won both games easily when it mattered, but glad these guys were focused on the draft and not playing in our games.

USM's Sandlin just went in the 2nd Round, 67th pick to Cleveland. Likely worth about $900K.

Pilk's arm is dead right now and if he gets picked in the Top 10 rounds he should grab the money while its still there. If I am Henderson I would not even start him this weekend. Would use him in spots out of the bullpen as needed. He is just no longer capable of going 6 to 7 innings without being severely roughed up.

Congrats to Pilk....Hope he goes out on a high note for us over the next (hopefully) few weeks.

Yep, his pick has a slot value of $726K. Compared to the first SEC LHP taken in Round 1 pick 22 is slotted at $2.9M. (You could even argue going into the year he was projected higher than that) I'd say he cost himself a couple mil this year - ouch.

can't look at it that way. he wasn't a draft pick out of high school. went to college for 3 years and just became a 3rd round pick. mock drafts don't matter, just ask Malik Newman and Lamar Peters.

That 22nd pick is the OM guy isn't it? He suddenly became a millionaire on television last night. Did that make him a professional at that point, or could he still have pitched later if OM hadn't choked and lost in the regional?

I don't care where he's from ... congrats to him.

No, not until he signs a contract. Pilk can pitch in the Super for us. e

Meanwhile, a thread on OM 24/7, is 'Blasting Rolison for having the audacity to celebrate being drafted .. while the final game was still being played!

Why can't you? Going into THIS season he was a projected first round pick based on his performance so far at State. He had a poor year and his draft stock fell; therefore, costing him potential earnings. If he replicates last years performance then he is a first round pick, period. His poor year cost him $$$

I just used the ole miss guy for comparison purposes because that's likely around where he would have been selected if he pitched like he had the last two years.

That was a pretty bad reaction ... what was he supposed to do?? I'd be celebrating too. He wasn't overtly celebrating anyway, from what I saw. I'd be a lot more excited than he appeared to be, without a doubt.

They announced it over the PA system. Was he supposed to stand there stone-faced?
