I'm not Project but I see no chance of it passing. Realistically less than 5%.

MLBPA will not agree to it. My opinion is that is the right decision also. I think NIL will do enough to get good players to college while still allowing the top tier of HS players to go to the MLB if they choose to. I think that mix will be best over having every HS player have to go to college.

Sounds like Jay is really high on Loew defensively as well. I was thinking maybe he would move to 2B or 3B but they way Jay talked about him and having Milam be a role model this year to him it seems like Jay thinks he can stick at SS.

Jay said with Jacques and Moscona that they will be at 39. Said all conversations were had and that it is hard to explain the DSA thing but that they are good to go for fall with roster at 39. That being said, I have the roster at 41 right now. Curious to see how the numbers will shake out. Thinking maybe tough conversations with HS commits had to be had.

Murphy may sign for less if he truly wants to go pro like people say. Especially since he is a DES and the OF is pretty stacked.

I like Santarelli getting past that first CWS pick.

Pretty good comp. Beau Jones was the most electric arm I’ve seen up close and personal when we played him in high school. Hell of a baseball player.

Wow. That is big time. Curious to if Jay makes him do one or the other.

Project will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe any player outside of this years rostered freshmen could have been given a DSA tag. I'm not very familiar with the specifics though.

Just a little roster number updating/guessing.

Currently the existing roster is at 30 with 15 position players and 15 pitchers. Of the 15 position players we expect 2 to be drafter in Curiel and Brown. Out of the 15 pitchers we are expecting 3 to be drafted in Sheerin, Garcia, and Guidry. Puts the existing roster at 25/34.

When looking at the recruiting class we are currently at 11 position players and 12 pitchers for a total of 23 recruits.

Here is where the guessing games begin. I will not name who I think makes it vs gets drafted but I will guess of the position players 6 of them make it to campus. Pitching wise I will guess 7 of them make it to campus.

With those guesses that would put the 2027 roster around 38 players. I'm going to assume that at least 4 players are eligible to be considered DSA players.

I don't think it is likely he gets that 5 mil. Question is what happens when 3-3.5 is thrown in your face. He is the 8th LHP when you look at MLB.com prospect rankings. Only 3 of those are college guys and the other 4 in front of him in rankings are HS. The other HS LHP are ranked 24 or above and Schmidt is ranked 45.

I know all it takes is one team to like him more than others but also have to consider other team needs may not be LHP plus they may go with college or another HS arm. I just don't see how he gets 5mil.

More likely to have a scenario like Briggs McKenzie where he may end up falling a little then a team has savings figured out and throws him 3 mil in the 4th round.
