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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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]

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

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?

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

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.

In those games, what happens to the DH?

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

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.
