BigHurt3515 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Andrew Keck goes to the Braves, would much rather us choose him at catcher. But the Braves love the SEMO guys, Dylan Dodd is currently in AA and pitching well after being drafted last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I know Tim Elko is a 25 year old, 5TH year college player, but 24 homers, in 240 at bats, in the SEC, is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, he hits right handed. LOL Interesting, the year before he had 16 homers, in 160 at bats. So, two years in a row, he hit one homer, every 10 at bats.

Chisoxfn Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Was bummed to not see Riley Kelly get grabbed. Guess he wanted to go to college. Or will anyone make any decent size undrafted signing using some pool money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I am now pro-Elko. I apologize. This is crazy: https://theathletic.com/3379458/2022/06/23/college-world-series-ole-miss-tim-elko/?source=emp_shared_article Quote On April 5, 2021, Elko tore an ACL while running out a ground ball against North Alabama. Another year ruined, right? Not quite. Elko came back less than four weeks after the knee injury. He hit two grand slams in NCAA regional play, posting a .778/.858/2.111 slash line in 14 plate appearances. Scott Berry, coach of Southern Miss, which lost to the Rebels in the regional championship, compared Elko to Kirk Gibson — who’s most famous for a walk-off homer in the 1988 MLB World Series while hitting on two injured legs. Ole Miss last year fell one win short of the CWS in a super regional at Arizona. Elko underwent knee surgery in June. His decision to wait on the procedure killed any chance to get drafted into pro baseball at age 22. Still, sitting in the first-base dugout at Charles Schwab Field after the Rebels’ second win in Omaha this week, he described the return last season and subsequent production at the plate as “a miracle.” “I wouldn’t want it for any other guy,” Bench said. “No matter what’s going on, he’s going to keep us together. He’s handled everything amazingly well. To see him go through that and to come back and play and then to see him come back and have an even better season, it’s exciting to see.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 By the way - I had a totally crazy idea regarding the MLB draft. What if the lower levels of minor leagues were basically run by MLB and instead you had a draft really focused on the top talent that was ready - so when you were finally set to draft - you were basically picking guys that are going to be on your major league roster or essentially one affiliated / development squad. I don't know how to do it and whether it is good or not - but baseball is the sole sport where the draft players don't really show up at the major league level for a while and that is why the draft just doesn't get the same ratings. If instead - you had draft picks (which by the way you could trade) and you really would be looking at say a 5 round draft of pretty much major league ready players - boy would that make for tv (let alone the drama in the trades - i.e, a rebuilding team could trade vets for picks that would likely make much more immediate impacts - allowing potentially for quicker rebuilds, etc). Like I said - this is probably a terrible idea - but if MLB wanted to make the draft big time - the only way I see it happening is find a way where more MLB ready talent is actually eligible for the draft (especially the first few rounds). Could you imagine a draft where the AA version of Mike Trout was available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll pick overslot guys on day 3. Edit; meant to say NOT sure they needed to, as they didn't draft any obvious overslot guys.

Lillian Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Did you guys see Camilletti's walk to strike out ratio? The last two years at Central Michigan he had 115 walks to 66 strike outs, resulting in a .500 OBP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to the draft, there is a rule 5 type draft where teams choose their 40, and other teams can choose to grab unprotected players. However, you can only draft players into open positions on your 40 man. So if you want to participate in the draft, you have to be at 38 prior to the draf.t Then there is a 2 round draft similar to the NBA.
