I don't blame him and I wish him much success......but DANG IT!   I wanted him back for one more year.

Agree. Would’ve been nice to have him for one more year. But that’s a lot of money.  Hope we see him in the Bigs one day.

That would be nice.....but MLB is more than hitting......think the big job is to find his position in the field.   Where do you see him playing?

Not unless he's traded to a NL club. If he hits great he can be a DH if nothing else.

That’s a great question. I know he’s officially a second baseman but he looks way to stiff to do that in the MLB.

He’s on the Elizabethton Twins roster as a 2B. That’s what he played in HS and his first year at Auburn and in the Cape Cod League last year. It’s probably his most natural position.

I agree with you.

Ole Miss outfielder. Was a freshman last year, and got some good playing time on a good Rebel squad. Speedy kid with a nice glove. Could fill in nicely at center. Got a pretty good bat as well.

This is an unusual move. Won't he have to sit out a transfer year per SEC rules?

I would think he’d have to sit out a year, but I’m not completely sure. I think he’s from Alabama, so maybe he needed to be closer to home.

If memory serves me right, he is the guy who set a national stolen base record while in high school in Alabama. Incredibly quick. Great pickup for us for sure.

Played at Homewood for his dad Lee Hall....outstanding family (brother Carson headed for South Alabama).

This is nothing more than an indication of the load of talent Bianco has on the roster at Ole Miss (and the #2 class coming in).  Lost five starters and still has the NFHS all time stolen base leader transferring out.

Not yet but they are expected to wave the max 27 on scholly cap roster rule & every player must get at least 25% scholly rule.

Ryan Hoerter has transferred to UW-Milwaukee to be closer to family.

[warbiscuit 278]

Drew Baker has transferred back to Chipola. https://twitter.com/dfb3_/status/1252741041893134344)

Another interesting tidbit I read and thought to mention: Ryan Hoerter apparently had interest from Arizona State and San Diego when he was transferring from Auburn, but wanted to be closer to home(http://baseballprospectjournal.com/ryan-hoerter-transferring-to-milwaukee/)

[warbiscuit 278]

Also found that Ramsey David entered the transfer portal so updated that as well https://twitter.com/R_David_2/status/1248001524728336385/photo/1

Anyone have any insight into how MLB modifying their draft (cutting from 40 rounds to 5, max $20k signing bonus for undrafted players) might impact our roster?

[AUBwins 10,070]

Great question. Not sure how many bubble players we had but we could get lucky out of this.
