    2017 SEC Baseball MLB Draft Thread

    He did well. Didn't get his $300K, but he got above slot, which isn't easy for a tenth rounder. Best wishes.

    Dave Serrano to West Virginia as pitching coach

    Not unless they're willing to sit out a year to do it. Good situation for CDS. Major conference program on the rise after 20+ years of irrelevance with a lot of young pitchers who pitched well as underclassmen. He should be able to help them and get recognized for it.

    2017 SEC Baseball MLB Draft Thread

    I'm sure the Astros have a plan, but they're running out of places to save enough bonus pool money to pay Bukauskas, who will want to get paid in line with his ranking as the 7th best prospect in the draft, and still give Kyle what he says it will take to sign him.

    2017 SEC Baseball MLB Draft Thread

    Neither Benito Santiago, Jr. nor Kyle Serrano are in strong positions for negotiating with MLB teams. Both are getting old. Nobody as old as Kyle will be at next year's draft was picked before the 8th round this year, and Benito is several months older than Kyle. They're both at their "sell...

    Serrano heading to Bama as pitching coach....

    When CDS does sign his next contract, I hope he gives Kendall Rogers a commission. He's earned it by pushing him for every open job on the coaching carousel.

    Kyle Serrano has left the program

    I also expect him to sign. Kyle Serrano turns 22 in 3 weeks. As a fairly raw talent who still needs to learn how to throw strikes, his clock is ticking loud. If he wants to go pro, now is the time. Negotiation 101 teaches you to talk up the availability and desirability of the options you...

    That's their High A team, and their third baseman was a first round supplemental pick two years ago rated as their 15th best prospect.

    Serrano heading to Bama as pitching coach....

    He'll keep swinging for the fences because he hopes people remember only the dingers. This rumor puzzled me from the start because Bohannon has been in the conference and watched Serrano not produce a single all-conference pitcher (1st team, 2nd team, or freshman) in six years at UT or any...

    New conference

    Because of the resources the school decides to allocate to baseball scholarships, either because it has limited funds or because of the cost of offsetting additional baseball scholarships with women's scholarship opportunities. My guess is that the Title IX squeeze is part of the reason...

    New conference

    There's a search engine where you enter where you live and what level of degree you want, then you can either tell it what you want to study or where you want to study, and it tells you the options.

    Tennessee Buzz: Candidates To Watch - Kendall Rogers

    You haven't offered any reason to believe or any information to help others evaluate the highly unusual claim. Assertion without evidence is meaningless.

    Serrano heading to Bama as pitching coach....

    FWIW, Wikipedia's Dave Serrano page says he's the assistant head coach at Alabama.

    Tennessee Buzz: Candidates To Watch - Kendall Rogers

    But, but, but . . . the insider geniuses at D1baseball.com told us CDS was getting major love for that position. Is it possible they don't know what they're talking about? Say it isn't so!

    Tennessee Buzz: Candidates To Watch - Kendall Rogers

    The scenario you're promoting requires us to believe two people behaved in an extremely unusual manner: 1) That the AD skipped the usual post-season review and met with the coach of a last-place team the week before the end of the season to offer him an extension. 2) That the coach, who...
