High walk rate. Hopefully that’s something Anderson can fix as our pitching philosophy is filling up the zone.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

King Tony is going to take what he wants.

 

[Volunteer08]

Not sure where he’ll fit in with Tidwell, Sewell and Burns. Leath is back too right? Is he a bullpen guy?

I’m not sure Leath is coming back.

I thought this would get interesting with the transfer situation. We will lose quite a few guys, and I wondered if we can ride the success to get a few good transfers.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I know he is technically a starter but I wouldn’t be shocked if we converted him to a bullpen guy.

He gone.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Pretty sure his curveball is disgusting, and he struck out like 7 straight batters when we played them. Spoiler - we still won. Good pickup though!

 

[Volunteer08]

He gone.

Do we know that for sure?

Will Burns make it to Knoxville ?? I think he will get drafted next month

No

Burns is totally getting drafted, but unless he goes 1st round we have a realistic shot to get him on campus.

 

[Volunteer08]

No

My thoughts are he goes pro on a 3-4 year deal making pennies. He’d have to perform over a long season for multiple seasons to make good money. If he stays, he has a 60-70 game season to prove he’s worth a decent chunk of change. It’s obviously a risk from an injury standpoint, but so is MiLB.

Seniors get screwed. He’s not getting a better deal next year.

Eh I may be eating my words. I just saw it mentioned he’s mentioned between 36-56 slots thats 2m-1.2m window. Highly doubt he’s coming if that happens.

Fair point. A guy in his shoes may value the degree if he doesn’t have it completed yet? Seems like the only shot.

$1.2 M for a high school kid that’s going to spend several years in the minors isn’t life changing.

Nice depth addition to the roster.

$1.2 million would be life changing to me. I think I wouldn’t work again lol.

After taxes, not life chancing for a kid that will spend he next 4+ years in the minors making $2500 a month during season.

It’s the wise decision.
