There are draft eligible sophomores but I don't know the exact rules on them. Pretty sure it's if you turn 21, you're eligible regardless of year in college. A player attending a four-year college who is age 21 or older (or will turn 21 within 45 days after the draft) is eligible to be drafted. For instance Matt Purke (born July 17) was a draft-eligible sophomore in 2011. edit: joshv - your posts did not show up until after I made this post, for whatever reason.

Or you could have been thinking about the wasted talent of Matthew Price, a highly touted sophomore draftee out of VA Tech.
I also recall Cecchini wanting to leverage his age during negotiations.

Is there any word on what Aiken's plans are? We're only a few games out of a top 5 pick.

Is there any word on what Aiken's plans are? We're only a few games out of a top 5 pick. Rumors are rampant that Aiken will be attending Yavapai JC (Ariz.), so he may re-enter the 2015 draft.

Great, now we have them doing it. I'd deal with it if we could draft him, though.

Pretty sure Boldt is eligible. You can enter the draft if you are a JR regardless of age I believe. SR's obviously can enter. If you are 21 then you may enter regardless of years completed in school.

I'm guessing Fulmer will have a Sonny Gray comp thrown on him. Seems like a big time arm.

Aaron Fitt
I can confirm report by @kendallrogerspg that Phil Bickford is leaving Cal State Fullerton. Destination TBD. Huge blow to Titans, obviously.
I hear Bickford's decision is motivated by a desire to enter 2015 draft. So that means either a juco or indy ball. Was '13 first-rounder.

If Bickford and Aiken both enter, the top of the draft should be pretty stacked, right?

Even if they don't.

It's funny that we've gotten the point where I read about a guy hitting 97 and think "Eh, big deal."
