I simultaneously enjoy all of your posts, respect you as very knowledgeable, and often times have no idea what you're trying to say.

A couple of visitors (lurkers?) who are big Clemson fans hopped into the Wagner thread the other day, and were talking about their hopes to keep recruits like Porter and Smith.    Seems like they are going 1-for-2.

Pretty sure Tristan Smith today was No. 1 out of those 57, and that all 57 are (or were, in the case of Showalter and South Florida) highly prized recruits.

I'm one of them.  Yes, looks like Porter is gone to Texas but that Smith will be a Tiger, a Clemson Tiger that is.

It is annoying that MLB's draft tracker doesn't allow you to search by college commitment.

This is certainly an overslot. It will be interesting to see how much. Elias hasn't lost a guy yet due to signability so I imagine he knows his number and his previous selections like the 4th and 7th picks were underslots.

Profile seems similar to Baumler.  What did he get?

We need to arrange a meeting between the two Bucks and the two Zach(k)s.   That would be confusing.  

I fear its 2028, we're in a wildcard game and it's tied...Orioles Manager Buck Britton goes to the bullpen phone as his all-star closer Zack(h) Showalter paces but doesn't warm...

Do you think this was a target pick they have been working with to gauge signability? Or is this someone with a a profile they liked from scoutng reports but they hadn't invested much time on?  I'm always curious how these draft picks are made in the latter rounds. You can't talk to everybody, I wouldn't think.

Being a college baseball coach has got to suck from this perspective. Yeah you handed out some scholarships to some guys that are studs but they can get yanked away real fast.

Coach:  “Let’s get out there and recruit some good ball players.  But not too good, damnit!”
