Laird may not be drafted higher than the 35-40 rounds. Kid is a great college player but projects horribly at the next level. If his signing bonus isn't 6 figures, which it likely won;t be, he'd be better served by finishing his degree. There is little use for a slap hitting outfielder with no power and a weak arm in the pros. Players like that are a dime a dozen. No offense to him as he's been great for LSU, but it's just reality.


The 35-40 rounds is a bit of a ridiculous exaggeration. I don't disagree that he needs to put on a lot of weight to be able to get balls into major league outfields, but he's an amazing fielder with an arm that honestly has improved each year-though it's got a long way to go before you can say he's got a good one.

He's not coming back. I assure you.

Based on what? You know him or family?

He really doesn't project well at all to the majors. Zero power, slap hitter, below average arm...but has tons of speed. I'd be slightly surprised if he was drafted in the Top 10 rounds. I think Stevenson projects a bit better. The fact neither of them have high power potential or huge arms helps us out a lot in keeping them.

I would bet on Mark playing 4 years and finishing his degree.

Yes.

To clarify, I'm not claiming inside information. Just my hunch what I know about the situation.
