RE: Stanford possibles in the MLB Draft - DC 86 - 07-12-2021

His Stanford commit was perceived to be strong hence he didn't appear in mocks, otherwise he would have been a top-20 pick in all likelihood.
I didn’t see our Montgomery
RE: Stanford possibles in the MLB Draft - BobK - 07-12-2021
Actually right next to Beck on the BA mock at about 80.
But great news and obviously told MLB he’s going to Stanford

Anyone want to hazard a guess if he becomes our third starting outfielder next year, in place of the departing Christian Robinson?
RE: Stanford possibles in the MLB Draft - BobK - 07-12-2021
Well I knew Ryan Bruno would be the third starter so no guess from me
What’s interesting is who now might come back given the first 10 rounds of the draft
RE: Stanford possibles in the MLB Draft - Phogge - 07-12-2021
For kicks I looked up the 1967 draft. One HOFer, Ted Simmons. Vida Blue, Dave Kingman, Don Baylor, Chris Chambliss. Also Dan Pastorini, Rex Kern, Archie Manning and in the 55th round Randy Vataha.
RE: Stanford possibles in the MLB Draft - PVTree - 07-12-2021
Beck was the 24th pitcher picked in the draft. A little motivation to prove those teams that passed on him wrong.
RE: Stanford possibles in the MLB Draft - Phogge - 07-13-2021
Baseball draft is a crap shoot. Chris Chamblis picked in the 35th round, yada, yada. Beane is correct in Moneyball; you think you know but you don't.

Thanks. Interesting, nerve-wracking process to say the least. A few more moments of brilliance and a few fewer times of drought and he might have been taken much, much higher. Now it's time to prove himself or move on. Here's hoping for more brilliance than famine.
RE: Stanford possibles in the MLB Draft - BobK - 07-13-2021
I’m hoping for a return to Stanford and a Masters. Yes I’m selfish. Lol The very best to Tim.

Indeed. I think history has shown that the MLB draft is very much a crapshoot, and that exceptional players can emerge from virtually anywhere in the draft. Mike Piazza was famously drafted in the 62nd round of the 1988 MLB draft as a favor to his father by Tommy Lasorda.
I know Bob is hoping he will come back, but it sounds like that's not in the cards. So, thank you for some great memories, a wonderful season on his way out, an best of luck going forward. As you probably can see from the ongoing discussions about Austin Slater in the Giants thread, we keep track of and root for our former players in the Big Leagues, and I will be rooting for Tawa to make it and thrive. Junkie, you have a lot to be proud of.
In the meantime, I hope you stick around; your contributions to the discussions on Stanford baseball are much appreciated.

Hope he has a better career than Slater.

Baseball is hard. Tim made playing quarterback look effortless. Go look at his HUDL film for proof. Baseball has always been hard. I'm amazed at those who make it look easy. I will root for my kid and Brendan and CRob and everyone else in the Cardinal family to achieve at the highest level but appreciate the potholes ever present along the road and the work and good fortune necessary to overcome them.

Slater is a major leaguer, which is better than about 90% of players who enter the minors, let alone people who pick up a glove and ball. Yes, I hope that all our guys have a long and fulfilling major league career filled with All Star selections and World Series Championships, but even making it to the Major Leagues is a tremendous accomplishment.

I also told you. Sorry. It's just that I didn't fully appreciate it until this year. Tim was hitting .382 after WAZZU series then started hitting line drives into mitts. Then pressed, then more mitts. In a month, the BA was down to .264. "What's wrong with him?" people asked. But he was doing the same things! Pitchers pitch and 8 in the field try to stop you. Failure is not an option; it's a reality.

I went to high school with Dann Bilardello, who was a third round selection after high school, and a 1st round/secondary phase selection in 1978. He batted about .350 or .360 in high school, which made me wonder how in the heck he would hit major league pitching? Answer: he couldn't. He was career .204 in eight MLB seasons. Defensively, he was very strong...his second season he led the league in throwing out base stealers (42%) and did even better the next year, throwing out 49% (finishing third) and 37% for his career (Buster is 33%). Very tough to succeed in MLB.

UCLA had 10 players drafted.

that was a good draft. Also had first round all-stars Jon Matlack, John Mayberry (father to Stanford BB Player Mayberry), Wayne Simpson, Bobby Grich. Blue, Kingman and Baylor, along with Jerry Reuss were second round all stars. Ralph Garr and richie Zisk were third round all stars. Steve Busby was selected in the fourth round and was a two time all star.
Other all stars were Davey Lopes (8th round, selected by Giants), Gary Lavelle (20th round), Dusty Baker (26th round), and Steve Rogers (60th round). To be fair, Rogers was drafted in the 1st round, three years later.
