Lemonisade has become Zeus, the Bigass Gyro.

Sippin on Ginn & Juice...

Wow. All the good rumors finally came true for once. That’s awesome.

FIFY

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

And your Saturday starter is! IB doin work?

 

[dawgatUSM]

I think it’s more likely you see him out of the pen initially than in the starter role.

 

[patdog]

The last player I remember who was rated this highly who came to MSU was Paul Mahlom. He was our Friday starter from day one. I’ll be surprised if Ginn doesn’t do the same.

 

[dawgoneyall]

And I thought I loved MSU.

 

[Tigr2ndbase]

Glad Wes Johnson isn’t here to tear Ginn’s arm up. Just imagine if somehow Carter turns down the Braves and comes to us. What a rotation with those 2 and Small.

He was drafted in the 17th round by the twins in the 2000 MLB Draft. But he ended up being drafted 8th overall in the 2003 Draft. Safe to say this might be a different level.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Kid was drafted in the first round & needs to be again in 2020 - otherwise he loses a ton of $ and we won't be getting any more of these type draft picks to school. He needs to have a career path like Tyler Beede from Vandy. Drafted #21 overall out of high school and #14 after 3 years at Vandy. He will not be a first round draft pick again unless he starts on the weekend or closes for 2 years.

 

[patdog]

The only reason he fell to the 17th round was because MLB knew he was coming to MSU. The Twins offered him 1st round money.

 

[cedog]

I may be more excited about this news than any other MSU baseball signee in the last 20 years .

Yep. Went right down to the last minute.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I had friends who played against Maholm when they were kids. He was mowing batters down when he was 10 years old.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

He actually did not attend class until the last possible day because they were still negotiating.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I think the guy is saying this because the rumor is that there is a limit on his arm that will not allow him to throw starter type counts

 

[paindonthurt_]

Here we go again. People haven’t even stepped foot on campus, and they are becoming legends.

 

[engie]

Get to know Carter Stewart.

[FONT=&quot]The Mississippi State commit has moved into the top of the first-round conversation, with some thinking he would be a candidate to go No. 1 overall if it weren't for the fact a high school right-hander has never been taken with the top pick.[/FONT]

you're kidding, right? have you seen this kid pitch? he is the ace of the staff, out of high school. by a wide margin. and you will have one year to see him, and he's gone.

 

[Go Budaw]

Nah, you’ll have 2 years to see him. He can’t get drafted again until he turns 21. Only 19 now.

 

[tired]

Bump. This is great!

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

For those that have followed this kid: will we use him soley as a pitcher or maybe as an infielder too? Seems hes got lots of praise there and we need a middle guy. Also, whats his bat like?

 

[engie]

One year huh? You are obviously an expert on this one*

He's Stephen Head/Pete Young. He will hit in games even when he's pitching.

He will be here 2 years.

Except that it is Ginn like get, goat etc

Will Clark was drafted in the fourth round out of high school. Then Brandon Woodruff in the fifth round, Eric DuBose in the sixth round, and Rafael Palmeiro in the 8th round.

They all turned out OK.

this coming from the person that chimes in as an expert on anything from basketweaving to brain surgery.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Time for a Lemon Party!

 

[Bulldogg31]

This is huge. There is 0% chance Mullen would have gotten this kid to campus.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

In those games, what happens to the DH?

Do we DH for a catcher or 3B that's sucking at the plate?

 

[thatsbaseball]

Sits in the dugout and plays with a banana**

[engie]

I don't know anything about basket-weaving or brain surgery. I do know that kids don't play college baseball for one year. As does everyone that has ever watched the game for 15 minutes.

But since you bring it up, look down 4 or 5 threads for a walk down memory lane.
