MaryvilleRebels Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 The University of Kentucky has gotten something like 6 of the top 50 recruits in the nation to sign LOI to play for them. However, fans are very unsure about which if these six, if any, will make it on campus. Well two of these players are from Tennessee so I was just wondering if anyone had any information on them. They are... Seth Lintz and Corban Joseph Both are top notch players, but will they be willing to go to college or do you think they are minor league bound?

Solomon Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Where's Sonny Grey looking at being drafted? I thought he would be a first round lock, but did the broken ankle (I think?) hurt his stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHSnumber1fan Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Where's Sonny Grey looking at being drafted? I thought he would be a first round lock, but did the broken ankle (I think?) hurt his stock? He sent a letter out to all the organizations saying do not draft him. Because he is going to Vanderbilt, he wants the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Bertier Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I have talked to some people saying Corban could be picked as early as the 3rd round. Lintz will be in Lexington in the fall that is for sure, he needs more time to develop and grow, but he is an oustanding talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Baseball America has both Letnz and Gray in the top 60 picks for the June draft. Inside MLB info: Joseph will sign pro if given the opportunity due to issues other than baseball Gray's stock is droping due to injury & size and most feel that is why he released the statement that he did. He is 5'10" and not 6'0" and the MLB teams want their pitchers taken early in the draft to be taller than Sonny. Lentz has more upside than Gray and most scouts & the mlb scouting service feel that he will go higher in the draft than Sonny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny if decided to go pro would have been atleast a top 25 pick if not higher. I agree that pros want taller pitchers but the way they were all over him he could have been 4 ft 8 and still been fine. He has just decided that he would rather go to college and get his degree which there isn't anything wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryvilleRebels Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks for the info guys! I dread my team having to face guys like Cotham and Gray for several more years. Also, what can you guys tell me about Mike Williams? I believe that is his name. He is Farragut's catcher and he also signed with Kentucky. Sorry for all the UK questions, I am just a big UK fan, and a big college baseball fan, but don't keep up too much with high school baseball.

I am sorry but you are wrong on what MLB teams want with regard to size and high school players taken in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
