Somebody let us know what he decided to do! He's looking at what, a couple million signing bonus? I still say stay at Vandy!

He's quoted in the Knoxville News-Sentinel this morning as saying that he's leaning towards signing with the Twins. He expects to be playing rookie ball in Florida in 3 weeks.

 

Honestly, that seems to be the right decision for him. The money is just too great to turn down, and he will get an education annuity as a part of his contract.

 

It's a win/win for him and the Twins.

gradfromthenest... this is the first time i strongly disagree with you... your statement put me over the edge and forced me to buy a star for $12.... this is not an attack but why would you turn down 1-1.5 mil to go to college... think about this... it has been his dream his whole life to play pro baseball and he is getting the chance and making a lot of money... he can always go back and get an education if it doesnt work out. Most people go to college to learn and train for a job, but in his case, he is getting that job so why should he go to vandy... i understand if he wasnt getting much of a signing bonus but he is..... let me say this again... it is not an attack on you. it is just the completely opposite opinion..

    • I didn't make it up, I was told that by another coach.   I was just passing along what I was told.  Keep your shirt on there tough guy.  
    • I see them and Oakdale struggling quite a bit the next few years. I see OS to be the powerhouse of the area for awhile. It all depends on how much Coalfield can recruit. 
    • How did the scrimmage with Central go?
    • I’ve said it all year coalfield isn’t the same team as the last couple years. They have 3 really good players and another pitcher that throws low to mid 80s. Other than that, everybody else is average at best. You could make the argument that their lineup was the worst out of the 4 teams in their region tournament. Oakdale is really hot right now and playing well. Greenback was the second best team there. Wartburg was hitting it well but limped into the tournament with their center fielder being hurt and their best pitcher not being able to go on the mound for them was killer.
    • Upperman White County both will be loaded. Dyersbirg and South Side will be a handful as well. Getting about that time in about 3 weeks we start watching summer scrimmages. Dyersburg loaded loaded loaded with talent. Most talent ever I have seen in their program.
