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

Reactions aren’t wild. It has been reported there was a good chance we could get him to school. He was only a few picks away from making it out of the first round, so yeah.

Joe Doyle said on the Diamond Vols podcast the other day that getting Appenzeller AND Schoolcraft was at 10-15% confidence, and it’s been more likely that Appenzeller was getting to campus for awhile now. So I think those comments from a draft experts shifted everyone’s opinion on Schoolcraft over the last few days.

Eh, it was always very slim. I wouldn’t say good chance at all. He was being mocked in this range as well.

Now Appenzeller is different.

Under $1M

Not unless a donor is writing a check. UTs whole team didn’t have $1M NIL budget. Schoolcraft is 100% gone. Will sign for north of $4M—likely closer to $5M.

He’s going to sign well over slot. His number was rumored to be $5M

$5-6.5 mil, allegedly

They will have to pay him well over slot. Doubtful they spent a pick on him if they didn't think they could sign him.

That’s a nice get for the Guardians at 27.

That hand injury knocked LaViolette down 10-15 spots, but it's a hell of a get for Cleveland nonetheless

Under $1M means less than $1M.

To be honest, Cags would've never made it to Florida if he hadn't torn his UCL before his senior year of high school

 

[CobbWebb71]

How’s Adley Rutschman feeling tonight...

 

[taylorvol]

Under $1M means less than $1M.

I just told my wife that I’m going to have to add at least four more to the wall. She just rolled her eyes

Agreed. He just now learned how to hold runners. His potential is out the roof now.
