Baseball picks up another transfer addition.
- Thread starter patdog
- Start date
Dubrule came from the ASUN like Frei. Yeager came from the SOCON like this kid. So, it has worked a couple of times for this staff. Just like everyone else though I'd rather see State pull some guys from major conferences. Hopefully this isn't foretelling of Mershon's decision. I keep telling myself that Hujsak played shortstop at VCU. So, it potentially could not affect Mershon at all.
Yep.
PERSONAL: Son of Will and Robin Reeves…comes from an athletic family that has eight other family members that played collegiate athletics…grandfather, John Reeves played football at The Citadel…great grandfather, James W. Duckett, served as the 13th President of The Citadel (1970-74)…plans to major in biology.

@17itdawg is correct, brothers:
Dalton Reeves

Limited upside for this one. Zero power numbers but a contact guy. Another Punch and Judy hitter in a league full of power.
Yeager(900+ops, 300+avg, 10+ homer) and duburle(350-400 hitter) both excelled at their levels. This guy not so much. Good player, but didn’t dominate the league like those guys did. Not a needle mover at all.. but 23 year old with experience could be a bridge piece to fill a gap for a season
still need 2-3 big splashes.. or bigger splashes than this
Still have Cupp sitting in the shadows too, I haven't heard otherwise. This guy is coming from The Citadel, Lemonis alma mater.
Anyone have info on which of these guys will sign MLB contracts and never play for us?

Do you know what you're talking about, or just guessing? I don't care either way, just wondering.
Man, I don’t know. This sure seems like another reach for maybe a depth piece when we need to be finding day 1 guys to fill starting spots.
Meanwhile, I see that McKenzie jumped ship today so I guess we can add another swing and whiff to the laundry list of our recent failed HS signings

We need way more than Debrules. Yeager is the exception to our portaling the last 3 years.
The 1st 3 are the only ones that are rated in the top 200 prospects. Kid from Michigan is almost a certainty to be gone. The other 2, we might get to campusAnyone have info on which of these guys will sign MLB contracts and never play for us?

Well, the silver lining is that the crap talent we’re pulling in surely means Lemon will see his last season as skipper to one of the greatest programs.
Seems like us getting two top 200 prospects to campus would be pretty massive.
The “kid from Michigan” is 19 years 8 months old. Crazy but common, especially with us it seems…
According to 64analytics Frei was the 6th best 3rd baseman (77th best overall) & Reeves was one of the top 10 available SS.
I don’t know if 64 analytics rankings are worth crap, but it seems that picking up two guys rated in the top 2% of available players is a good thing.

I can take losing Mershon to the pros, but if he goes to south carolina, for any reason. I won’t know what to think of our situation and definitely won’t be feeling good about it.
Now now I’d like to know their background before I’d call them crap.
@Raiderdawg — Do you have info on previous seasons’ data?
I think if he was going to South Carolina, he'd already be in the portal. My guess he's either at Mississippi State or in the minor leagues next year.
listening to Hadad's podcast he was mentioned as one that was not coming back. Like all our position players were gone.
LSU isn't wasting time including a slugger from Indiana State: https://www.nola.com/sports/lsu/lsu...793f2bb8e88.html#tncms-source=sports-featured

@Raiderdawg — Do you have info on previous seasons’ data?
I don’t. They had a list of this year’s top 50 for each position on a Twitter thread.
I have no idea how they rank all 4200 players in the portal.
Here’s the deal about Mershon that everyone needs to understand. If he is smart (and I think he is) he won’t declare what he is going to do til last minute. If he keeps state and mlb in doubt til the end it drives up his potential signing bonus or nil. He has maximum leverage against both parties. If he declares one way or the other the party he is committed to is less inclined to sweeten the offer even more at the end. I suspect he is gone but have no inside information. It is in his best interest to leave both parties in doubt til the end.
