MLB Draft Talk (July 13th 6pm EDT & July 14th 11:30am EDT)

Not my thing, in the 70’s like 10, 12 I was a Pirates fan but it had more to do with Steelers and of course…my younger brother liked the Braves, so we fought a lot. I liked Cincinnati too, Joe Morgan especially, Bench, Rose. Typical “we don’t have a team so who’s winning”?

I liked the reds back in the 70’s too.

Steele Hall to the Reds at 9. First Vol Commit gone.

 

[Edixon2]

Steele hall to the reds

 

[CobbWebb71]

He gone.
The Reds got a Steele...

 

[Orange.]

From everything I’ve read, it’s gonna happen and it’s backed by a lot of people. They’re searching for a spot in the city currently, hopefully it’ll be close to downtown by the river. But as of right now, it’s not official.

I’ve been hearing talk about it for a couple of years. Also people wondering whether a team will move to Nashville or it would be a new franchise. I know next to nothing about it, myself.

 

[MAD]

Congrats

 

[WillisWG]

He gone.
The Reds got a Steele...

 

[Edixon2]

Back to back Billy Carson to the White Sox

 

[MAD]

Are there ever HS players that are so cocky that don’t bother to commit to a university because they know they are a high draft pick?

 

[WillisWG]

Dang

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Lol rough two picks for Tennessee. Not that we had a chance to sign them but I bet hearing those back to back names made Tony vomit a bit.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

3 Vols in the Top 10 picks (yes I still count the signees as honorary Vols)

 

[931Vol]

2 commits in the top 10 is good publicity regardless.

 

[knoxvol52]

Carlson to WhiteSox... Good luck winning there...

 

[Christian Lowe]

Schoolcraft at 11 incoming lol

 

[931Vol]

A lot of smoke between Kilen and the A’s this week.

 

[WGWTFA98]

If we see any name tonight, is it a foregone conclusion we don’t see them at UT?

Yes

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Weird first 2 picks but since then it’s mostly been a lot of chalk with the names called

 

[MHS Rebel]

Quick survey.

Who is your personal favorite MLB team?

Reds.
I can still name the '76 batting order.

 

[tn4elvis]

A lot of smoke between Kilen and the A’s this week.

I think Kilen has some of the best bat to ball skills I have ever seen at the collegiate level. I think he makes it to the bigs fairly quickly.

Pretty sure he was expecting them to go pro

 

[931Vol]

Yeah can’t really blame them there by taking Arnold. Capitalized on that fall.

How does losing these guys impact recruiting, does it open the door to players on other teams maybe switching to UT or has that ship sailed for the 2026 season?

 

[vol66]

Schoolcraft at 11 incoming lol

Not yet! But yeah.

I’ve been hearing talk about it for a couple of years. Also people wondering whether a team will move to Nashville or it would be a new franchise. I know next to nothing about it, myself.

From what I’ve gathered, they’re most likely gonna move the White Sox down here.
