2016 SEC MLB Draft Thread

[vol66]

Can't speak for anyone else, but Florida has been pretty lucky so far

So far so good for us.

Andy Cox goes to the Reds, 2nd pick in the 7th round! Congrats Andy!

Congrats Andy and best of luck.

5 straight SEC players, two from MSU at the top of the 7th...maybe VJax goes soon...

Nice, congrats Andy!

 

[txbo]

Looks like the Reds spent some time in Knoxville.

 

[BruinVol]

Slot value of $223,700.

Congrats Andy and best of luck.

And the senior $ savers begin

Seniors are better off being outside of the top 10 rounds. They get more $ that way

That's higher than expected for Cox isn't it?

 

[BruinVol]

That's higher than expected for Cox isn't it?

Seniors are extremely hard to predict. He may only get 5k in that slot.

Was higher than where I thought he would go...speaking just for myself.

I thought Serrano talked like he was wasn't sure if Cox would get drafted at all. Or am I thinking of someone else?

That's the way I recall it.

 

[txbo]

This is more about pricing himself out of the draft IMO

How much is Zack Lingo asking for?

 

[BruinVol]

How much is Zack Lingo asking for?

Not sure but if i had to guess I would guess over 600k

 

[NorCalVol67]

Looks like the Reds spent some time in Knoxville.

I guess I will have to despise the Reds a little less.

Maybe thinking about the old Big Red Machine teams will help.

 

[CunningLinguist]

Looks like all of our HS guys will all make it. Kind of surprising but HELL YEAH!!!!!!

 

[GManVFL]

Not sure but if i had to guess I would guess over 600k

Zach is not going. The money wasn't there. GBO!

 

[ShowmeVols]

Zach is not going. The money wasn't there. GBO!

So now we hope he had a better idea of his value than the teams that scouted him?

 

[txbo]

He can still get over slot value.

I'd rather wish for a trade to Houston.

Everyone will have an opinion, but none of this is an exact science or we could all look at a spread sheet and let excel tell us all how it is going to work out. Fact is he is a Great kid with a ton of talent and potential. So glad he is a Vol!

 

[vol66]

The 8th round begins...

 

[Hens67]

He can still get over slot value.

It is rare but it does happen..#223 signed for 1mil

I'm thinking a better fit would be a city in between the two on the mighty Mississippi.
