On Josh I don't see him getting picked in the 16th round like last year. It's likely better for him to come back & improve. D1Baseball had him as a 7-10 round pick. And if he gets drafted, almost all contracts have a stipulation that they will pay for him to go back to school. So I don't see that holding him back. If he falls to the late teens, early 20s, I think he will be back. 23 minutes ago, AU64 said: Anthony has the glove and the arm...just worried that his hitting never showed up this year. That's gonna hold him back...JMO Yeah, I agree. Just wonder if the idea of jumping ship is too great, regardless of money or draft stock, unless he absolutely plummets. He has a lot of upside, and teams love to draft on potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can find that article. It was a few weeks ago. They also had him rated as a top 50 college outfielder back in April. Baseball America's latest projection of their top 500 has him at 295. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the one year option affect these guys decision? Doesnt it work out that the team who drafts them has an option to them for a year?

AuburnNTexas 7,198 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Of all the sports I believe baseball recruiting is the toughest for a variety of reasons if you recruit to well the MLB draft takes them before they play for you or steals them after a couple of years, then there are so few full Scholarships so you have to find players who are good enough and have enough family income to pay the difference when they get a partial scholarship or have good enough grades to also get an academic scholarship. The lack of scholarships and competing with Major League baseball really limits the pool of players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerWar 82 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Any idea if we'll lose 2017 commit ss Ricardo De La Torre to the Twins after they selected him in the 6th round? I imagine he'll take the signing bonus and go to the minors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUCO guys were good place holders for this year and next, and should allow us to get these guys in here and build. I really liked the JUCO guys that came in this year, almost all of them contributed in some way, and some were huge for the team (I.e. Todd, Jarvis, Anthony, Estes, Coker, Ingram) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,416 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Yea, I bet our JUCO contributors were at a higher percentage than typical. And guys like Anthony has such a big upside still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnphan 6,050 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Talked to some people about Hoerter. He has a ton of room for growth and has a great reputation as a hard worker. He has played on an elite baseball summer league for years. Had a big growth spurt. They think Coach is the perfect coach to develop him into increasing his draft stock. He may be of help next year do to his dedication, but they think it will be a couple of years until he breaks on the scene. The coaches were careful with his amount of pitches as they did not want to damage his arm with his growth spurt and need to add muscle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Hillhouse, Welby Malczewski, Grant Warner, and Joe Gahm aren't listed with the pitching group. Seeing as we probably have to reduce the roster size down, I'm interested in knowing if their omission was a sign that those players won't return.
