Doubt we lose much in the draft which is in about 2 weeks.
CT or others thoughts on the draft ?
I don't think Stanford will be featured much in the draft this year. We could just maybe have a few late round guys. More likely we'd be hit by one of our recruits being drafted, though we have a pretty good record there.
Pretty sure that Scott is our highest rated, draftable player. I could imagine he might end up getting drafted and then not bothering to go to UGa but I know nothing at all about his thinking or how far he has fallen in scouts estimation. For all I know he could make more at UGa next year than in the minors.
I don't think anybody else draftable has a notable MLB profile. In the past, one would expect any juniors good enough to start would get drafted. With a shorter draft and expanded ranks of NCAA baseball that's not true anymore.
As I noted previously, our starting(ish) juniors include: Nati (probably best draft prospect in this group, but not that high), MacDonald (pretty good soph year, but injured most of this), Dugan (our best ERA pitcher but only became starter as injuries mounted), O'Haran (was supposed to be closer), Hott (played well as a spot starter but I don't think on any MLB radars). I could see 0-3 drafted depending on what MLB thinks of the raw talent of the pitchers but leaning to the low end of that range.
