WF Baseball Off-season Thread

[Deaconblue]

looks like barring injury, we can write in ink:

1B Kurtz
SS Houston
C (probably) Gill
SP Hartle
SP Massey

with the rest in various shades of pencil

So two of 8 position players should be written in permanent marker. With two pitchers in permanent marker on changeable magnetic plates. The rest for the players and coaches to figure out starting in September.

Yeah agreed Kurtz is best player on team. Was gonna edit my post but am lazy.

I wasn't counting pitchers.

Would assume we have a few first team all ACC guys out the gates with Hartle, King, Kurtz. Yes, I'm already anointing King.

I mean pretty good chance Kurtz is a top player in the country next year. He was already top 15-20

 

[IAppreciateIt]

lsu had the top 2 picks this draft, but OUR DEACS will have the top 4 picks next season:

1. kurtz
2. burns
3. king
4. hartle

massey will prob go 27th

MLB teams have already signed players taken in the draft. Nats have already signed their picks in rounds 6 through 10. All college players.

He’s defs going to LSU for a huge bag.

Seems that way, right? Twitter seems to think Mississippi State might also be a possibility.

SEC bidding war.

LSU pitcher Riley Cooper's reaction when the O's drafted his fat ass in round 13:

More than halfway through round 14. No more Deacs yet.

In addition to WF's HS commits, will be interesting to see what happens if Pierce Bennett and Cole Roland don't get drafted. MLB teams will sign a handful of players as UDFAs, but would think another year at WF might be a better option. Getting one or both of those guys back would be huge.

 

[IAppreciateIt]

still feels to me that bennett, with his hit tool and positional versatility, should get drafted. but i said that last year too.

Remember guys, we are a blue blood baseball program now.

Let's see how the next couple of years go...One year does not a blue blood baseball program make.

At this point, it seems like we should feel pretty good about our incoming freshmen pitchers, right?

I think he was referencing a recent media tweet (or some other social media post) that referred to us as a "blue blood" program.

Dodgers just drafted former Clemson QB DJU

Pierce Bennett to the Phillies with the 2nd to last pick of the draft. Will need a new OF in 2024.

Ban the Phillies
