MLB Draft 2019

Good luck to those Horned Frogs chasing that dream. Will be interesting to see when and where NL actually goes.

Also, we sure do have a lot of Juniors on this team. Will we lose some of our other Juniors besides NL - Henry, Wolfe, Shepherd, Humphreys, Keefer, Williamson, Guenther, King, Isola? Not sure all of these would get drafted any way.

I don’t think Nick gets past Cincinnati at pick 7.

TCU signee Q Priester won’t get out of the first round today. He will sign.

Williamson COULD get picked today but more likely early tomorrow. He’s thrown his last game for TCU IMO.

Guenther goes in the first few rounds tomorrow and he will sign.

Most of rest of them are a total crapshoot.... King, Isola, Wolfe, Henry.... who knows???

Do you think we lose any other high school kids? I know you’ve answered this before, but I couldn’t find the answer the other day when I was looking

Is it possible? Yes
Is it likely? No

Cornelio is the only other one I could see signing and I’ve heard that’s unlikely. The JUCO arm from AZ could possibly sign as well. Only takes one team liking a guy to make everyone else wrong so I always allow for the unexpected to be possible .

One of the problems with bringing in JUCO' s is that if they pan out well you only have them for a year. If you have to bring in a lot, you end up having to replace a lot of starters again.

It was done out of necessity. It’s not the preferred option for our staff.

And it becomes a hard cycle to break out of

3B

That’s right. He’s been playing SS for Tech the last couple of months. The dude is just great player all around.

Rapey catcher taken 9.p

Congrats Nick! That pick’s value is $5.43 million

Looks like he made the right choice coming to TCU

NL went from the 41st pick @ $1.6MM to 7th @ $5.5MM. A CWS and 3 years of college under his belt. Nice!

That's a bigger annual increase than TCU tuition!

Priester went to the Pirates...
