He will run out of eligibility next year if he comes to Auburn, so he'll lose financial leverage in next year's draft, and would stand to get less even with a good year most likely. Would love to be wrong though and see him come here. Though the odds we get Gonzo and McMurray back went up after today. Biscuit, since Mongelli went 4 slots from the last pick with a slot value of $165,000, if he came back next year and improved his draft status by say 5 rounds, wouldn't he stand to make more money? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. Last year, Coastal Carolina P Reid VanScoter was picked in the 5th round by the Seattle Mariners at pick 156 with a slot value of $353,900. He signed for 20K because he had no eligibility left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowebb11 9,330 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Getting Gonzo and Peirce back is huge!!! I like the idea of Gonzalez on Friday, Allsup on Saturday, and Herberholtz on Sunday. Lefty’s like Crotchfield, Nelson and the UAB transfer could become starters as well. Peirce gives us a great veteran bat and base runner, cannon from right field, and strong leadership. Very excited about the 2024 team! ⚾️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch has always had a real talent at that position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autan 737 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I was thinking he would have a good shot at LF if Stanfield moves to Center. We could use another lefty hitter. MB is a long ways from home to ride the bench. Wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his family moved to Florida after he graduated, but the point is anyways with Peirce in RF, Stanfield in CF and the addition of Maners, I think he wanted a spot with more playing time after what happened last year with his playing time.

Need more leftys. I’m also excited about the development of last years freshmen. Last season our starters often failed to get past inning three or four and kept our bullpen taxed. Gonzo, Herberholtz, and Allsup should be able to go much deeper and help our bullpen a lot. Setting up nicely depending on minimal injuries.
