Lawlar at 5……huh. Did the give any explanation why Lawlars at 5. First board I’ve seen where he’s not in the top 2.

I’m mean I agree (which means nothing)..this is just the first time I’ve heard one of the big boys say that. I think we need Leiter to come out slinging. That makes him a viable option at 4 or pushes one the 3 bats down to us. We’ll see.

Speaking of which, Mayer just went 3 for 4 with 3 home runs…at 13 for the season in 22 games.

Another interesting point that fangraphs made was that signability is going to be a huge factor. Which gels with the idea that the top 3 or 4 teams will consider who will take less money in order to spread the remainder over a deep class in the later rounds.

I think we can likely cross Mayer and Davis off our wish lists. Still time, but not looking good.

If Leiter comes back dealing…then he’s a top 3 pick. There are a lot of publications that still have Lawlar higher than Mayer, I’d say most of them. So IF Leiter does his thing …. There is still a very real chance that Leiter and Lawlar go in the top 3. Which means we can pick whoever falls between Davis and Mayer. Leiter is kinda the key to everything here.

Well it could be that we are looking at our choice of the Vandy pitchers. Which I think is pretty cool. Or if Leiter comes back dealing than we get one of the other top guys which is also great.
Btw the Vandy game is on the SEC Network right now. Rocker doesn’t look very good. Decent chance he is there at 4.

Kumar just gave up a 2 run Jack…it’s still early but I’m going to say it…..Kumar is going to slide guys. He’s sitting 92 to 93. He’s just a 1 pitch guy so often. If Leiter comes back healthy the top 4 is set and Id bet almost every board across the spectrum will have Leiter, Lawlar, Davis, Mayer in some order.

However you slice it, we're guaranteed to have our pick of at least *3* of Mayer, House, Davis, Leiter, Rocker, and Lawler. Those odds look pretty good to me.

That’s another bomb off Kumar

Ok so Davis is officially off the table. No chance he gets to us

Don’t the Tigers really like Mayer too? He is probably off the table as well, particularly with his play as of late.
So maybe as of right now it’ll either be Lawlar or one of the Vandy guys.

Still do not understand the nitpicking of rocker. He just went 7in 3er 8k 1bb his era is under 2.5 in prob the best conference in NCAA. Where is he falling in the draft? You think a team like bal or under them would let him slip bye. That's some serious crazy talk there.

My issue with Rocker at 4 is that he doesn’t project very well to me. He sits 91 to 94 with has fastball, doesn’t get too many swing and misses with it, and the command and control is shaky at times. I think is body is maxed out right now. He has a 70 slider no doubt, and it’s good enough to get SEC hitters out pretty regularly, but I worry that patient, mlb hitters, who recognize spin better, will be able to lay off enough and just annihilate his fastball. He’s just not my personal choice and I could be wrong about all of the above. But if Leiter is healthy I don’t think Rocker goes in the top 5 (House to Baltimore in my opinion). We’ll see:)
