good draft so far

a little concerned for the pitchers drafted by the Angels

that organization is, um, not exactly known for player / prospect development

Hayden Schott is a treasure. We are blessed he's an Aggie.
Schott appears to be one of those guys who is destined to excel at whatever career he chooses. His personality is so engaging that sometimes we forget that he is a very good baseball player, with the highest batting average in a loaded lineup this year. When the SEC Network interviewed him after game one of the championship series, he was so relaxed and articulate that it was hard to tell him from the professional announcers. Whatever he decides to do, he will make Aggies proud for decades.

I would love to see him in a bananas uniform. I think he would fit in well there.

Of course I wish him well in whatever he chooses but easy to see he would kill it in sales.

Isn't that setting the bar really, really low?

I'd rather see him in the big show.

I am pretty sure they don't get paid.

The Bananas now field two independent professional teams The Savannah Bananas and The Party Animals. Both teams are made up of players who are recruited and paid for their play.

Independent League teams usually pay between $1,000 and $2,000 per month. I really hope Schott shoots higher than that.

The Bananas aren't an independent league team, they are an independent organization all together. Very much a circus/show starting to sell out MLB stadiums with games on ESPN. The Harlem Globetrotters of baseball.

I'm guessing the players aren't super well paid, but it's a jumping off point if he wants it…

Jumping off point for what?

Influencer, media personality, content creator… I'm sure there are other positions.

I don't fully understand the "career", but a number of the players have a large social media following and could obviously do quite well without the Bananas.

Hayden definitely had the personality to make that sustainable. No idea what his plans are after college, but I'd hire him for any sort of marketing/media position.

My favorite part of MLB draft is how fast it moves. I hate that NFL draft gets dragged out so ****ing long.

Did you watch round 1? That's the comp and it definitely adopted the NFL take too much time approach.

I did. It is slower than the rest of MLB draft by miles for sure but it's nowhere near the NFL. NFL 1st round draft takes like 4 hours. Pretty sure MLB got through 2 rounds in less time.

100%. It's the lightning round nearly from the jump, even considering that rd 1 is now a bit more drawn out than in the past.

That's awesome

It's getting so late now that if they get drafted there's probably little chance they sign?

Sawyer Farr is the 4th best available prospect on MLB's current list
Sean98

Sawyer Farr listed as the 4th best prospect left on the board.

Ha. Ackar beat me. I went back to make sure none of our other guys were on the list.

Of note, Connor Wiggins, RHP committed to Arkansas is in the Top 3 as well.

It depends on the team. Some may have saved some pool money over the first 10 rounds and may have some money to throw at a prospect.

And can now do so without penalty. Probably need to get out of the 12th to feel comfortable today...

I would say in there is still risk for guys taken in round 11 in particular as teams have been working out their draft pool budget and exchanging numbers with top guys left overnight.
