Chris is correct, 2024. The Sox loved him and the feeling was mutual. Too bad it didn’t work out. Don’t think the Sox will get another Shot at him in 2024. If all goes well, he will be a top 15 pick.

I think State dodged a huge bullet with the Red Sox and Green. The Sox love him and I think it's very possible they would have taken him in the second round if the board had fallen a different way. Even if they had drafted him in the 3rd-5th round, they probably would've been able to sign himCLTWolf said:Chris is correct, 2024. The Sox loved him and the feeling was mutual.

Looks to be confirmation from Payton Green's dad that Payton will be in Raleigh.

so doak will remain in it's same area? No centennial campus stadium? Hmm, i'll have to wait and see what these designs look likeGravis said:BobbyCox95 said:

Got a little verbal preview on the renovations, should be public soon. Haven't seen actual drawings, but what they have in the works is going to be pretty nice/inovative considering the area around Doak.
All the land at Centennial is already allocated for research and academics. There will be no baseball field there.ClePack said:so doak will remain in it's same area? No centennial campus stadium? Hmm, i'll have to wait and see what these designs look likeGravis said:BobbyCox95 said:

I have questions...Packamylase said:
while playing a mobile golf game, the guy I was playing against said his son is being recruited by D1 schools for baseball and just recently returned from NC State. He said the park looked great, but that there was no shade in the seating and was oppressive.
Thank youPackamylase said:
Just a golf game played online through an app. He says his son will likely go to Liberty. I didn't get his name. His only complaint that there was no shade. Scorching sun, I guess. Otherwise, he liked the look of the stadium.
Give us some hints. Is it similar to the couple renderings we looked at on here a month or so ago? (Entrance down the first base line and some raised covered seats)Gravis said:BobbyCox95 said:

Good to know!Gravis said:

When is the groundbreaking on the renovation? Ballpark estimate (no pun intended).Gravis said:

A @MLBDraft signing amidst the trades ... 8th-rder Larson Kindreich signs w/@Rangers for $150k (slot 224 value = $191,500). Biola (Calif.) LHP, low-90s fastball, mixes in curveball & changeup. @MLBDraft

Some places had Taylor as a first round pick so not sure they'll have enough to win him over. I would assume Taylor would want a few million. Besides Taylor, the Rangers have 5 other high school picks they drafted 11-20 rounds that they may try to sign as well and throw extra money at to see who signs. Right now they have ~2,518,050 left in their pool (this includes 5% over the initial pool money and assuming the 2nd rounder signs) if my math is right. Their second rounder was viewed as a guy that they could sign for underslot so curious how that plays out since his slot value is 1.95 million. Hypothetically if he signs for slot value, then the Rangers would have ~568,050 to use on the rest of their picks from 11-20 rounds in addition to the base 125k they can offer to each without penalty. They haven't signed any of their 11-20 round picks.CLTWolf said:A @MLBDraft signing amidst the trades ... 8th-rder Larson Kindreich signs w/@Rangers for $150k (slot 224 value = $191,500).

Rangers still have their 2nd rounder left to sign and they have plenty of money to do it with. They signed their 6th-10th rounders for well below slot.
Wonder if they're trying to make a big run at Will Taylor who they picked in the 19th round. He's a top 2-3 round talent if you believe the rankings. They just need to leave Tucker Mitchell alone.
February? So, announcing plans 7 - 8 months after being kicked out of the CWS. I hope the naming rights donors are able to see something viable before then. I imagine the iron for some of the rank and file donors will probably be a lot cooler by that time. But then, should we expect anything less than this?wolfpack1437 said:

I'm not happy with the timing either. Most of the excitement from the run will give way to focus on football season.Bell Tower Grey said:February?
