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

[cardvolfan]

Non sequitur, but those of you who fear TV going to another top school should fear the Cardinals more. Marmol is performing above talent, but is not popular with many key players. His contract only goes through 26. There are those in the organization (Bloom/others) who are very close to TV and would love him in that seat. I still think it is long odds, but more of a threat than another college team.

With Mo in his last year, I could see Bloom being interested. I’ve seen snippets of things that have me hoping TV won’t go the pro route.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

There is no chance

There was basically no chance before the draft

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

Bloom might love TV, but DeWitt is a cheapskate.... it'll be a cold day in hell before he pays what Tony V is worth

 

[rockytop25]

MLB has long been my fear with Vitello, and every time I see him associated with MLB (like at the draft) it reinforces my fear.

I think he does the draft stuff for recruiting stuff

 

[WGWTFA98]

There was basically no chance before the draft

That isn’t true

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

Tony V will be on 101 ESPN in St. Louis at 2:00 Eastern time, I would assume to talk about Doyle and - to a lesser extent - Franklin

 

[931Vol]

Vols make it out of the 4th unscathed.

 

[rockytop25]

I think at this point Ford and Appenzeller didn’t get the number they wanted

 

[931Vol]

There goes Matt Barr. 149 to the Twins

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Bye bye. That sucks. Oh well.

 

[931Vol]

Bye bye. That sucks. Oh well.

Apparently there was a transcript issue that would’ve prevented him from enrolling. Wouldn’t have happened anyway

 

[Gilbert]

McKee said Barr had no chance of getting into school at UT last week anyway.

McKee said Barr had no chance of getting into school at UT last week anyway.

Yeah I think someone mentioned earlier but him and Ethan Moore have no chance of making it.

 

[WGWTFA98]

Bye bye. That sucks. Oh well.

He had 0 chance to make it. Vols have known for a few weeks now

Estrada the big one today, outside of the obvious ford and Appenzeller

 

[931Vol]

Vols survive the 5th. Barr could’ve gone in the 19th round and he’d still go. I’m not counting him lol.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Appenzeller can do better coming to school and working with Frank Anderson for 3 years and be a future first rounder.

I agree but have to admit my obvious bias.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Coastal Carolina and Mississippi said the same thing .... Just saying wishing Doyle would have stayed3 years at their school.

I feel for the fans of those teams. I wonder how such a system as this one is sustainable. I think individual conferences are going to have to start thinking of what is good for the health of the entire sport rather than what is good for each individual conference. That's what Danny White is pushing for by pushing for collective bargaining. It's where it has to go. The current system isn't sustainable long-term.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I didn’t know this. Thanks for the info.

 

[rockytop25]

A little surprised Arvidson hasn’t gone yet

A little surprised Arvidson hasn’t gone yet

Ranked #230 in the mlb top 250. I bet he has a pretty low number so teams feel like they can wait.

I doubt he’d have a low number with 2 more years of leverage but who knows

I just did.

My favorite pitcher was lefty Fred Norman. Daddy hated him though. (I still say "daddy" even though I am 66 now.)

It will always be Daddy. Miss my Daddy.
