sfacujackcat Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Originally posted by SafetymanAustin Adams from Henderson/TCU. i think Austin is a potential top-5 round pick...he has all the skills...henderson hasn't had a baseball player drafted since 1994 and he was taken straight out of high school... i think the fact Austin has stayed in school four years and has a degree shows a great deal of commitment and dedication...not a bad hitter either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase.colston Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Jess Todd from Kilgore has had a tremendous year at Arkansas and could potentially be a top-five round pick. Scouts love his fastball, but I've read that they want more work out of his slider and changeup. Others who have interest (off the top of my head): Ray Martin, Mineola Kendall McClendon, Arp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Jess has been told there is no way he will far further than the bottom of the second round, take that for what its worth. I dont think there's anyway Adams goes anywhere before the 40th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirksCrew Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I thought he was suppose to go much sooner in the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBaseball Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Baseball America had him going (pre-draft) at #30 in the first round; wonder why the drop? Also wonder now if he will go on to Texas A&M or go into the minors with the Red Sox organization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him headed to A&M myself, but personally it would be hard to turn down a program like the Red Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebob Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 If I were Middlebrooks, I think I would go to college...but the fact that he won't be able to come out until after his junior season is a real drawback. A lot can change during that time....just look at the Shepherd kid at Southern. He got drafted twice by the Yankees, but then he was in an accident that kinda derailed his career (judging by the stats). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldWiseOne Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 If it's still the same as it was when I played then he can go to a good juco and get drafted after his freshman or sophmore year, then if he still isn't satisfied then go to a 4 yr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broker2205 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Middlebrooks is looking at a signing bonus of around 200K I would guess. It will be interesting what he decides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always sign with a higher division, but you can't go down. In other words, if Will has already signed with A&M, his choices are A&M or the minor leagues. This is why you see a lot of the better players hold off from signing with anything higher than a JUCO until after the draft. A lot of things could happen in 3 years in college. And MLB has the best scholarship program available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
