Baker gets selected by Marlins at pick #861 They got a bargain. I hope he doesn't go. His stock will be higher with another year at BSU. I believe he came off a serious injury last off season, and was delayed coming back this year. Essentially, he is still rehabbing. Can the Marlins provide better medical service than BSU? Probably, but his stock will rise with another year of college. |

Now is the time for him to go. Can’t take the chance with his arm or risk a bad senior year. And you lose negotiating leverage as a senior.

But what’s his stock worth at 861?

Now is the time for him to go. Can’t take the chance with his arm or risk a bad senior year. And you lose negotiating leverage as a senior. HE was drafted at #861! I believe that he went low based on uncertainty in the health of his arm. He also does not have overpowering speed, but neither do many successful pitchers. Hell, some guys throwing in the upper 90s become very hittable after you see their fast ball long enough. It's all about keeping hitters off-balance and uncomfortable, and Baker's stuff sneaks up on you. He has much more value than that. Another good season and he moves up considerably. |

His arm has to be the main reason he went so low. And it might be the reason you take the leap now rather than blow it out or be weaker next year. Tough call either way. I’m thinking a pro organization’s training/medical staff would be better for him at this point.

I agree, if Baker takes the offer, Marlins get a steal.
I don’t see a downside to coming back next year other than a year of concentrated MLB coaching will put him a year closer to succeeding professionally.
I’m not an expert, but Signing as a free agent can’t be much worse than 29th round.

No, he’s leaving. And he should. He’d have to have an unbelievable year next year to better this past one.

Plesac, Jameson, Baker......
MW high school coaches and pitchers should be looking favorably at us.
I’ve heard that scouts really like how our staff treats pitchers while they are in our program.

CardFan is right. Staying is just not the way it works anymore, especially for pitchers. I'm stunned he dropped to the 29th round. I consistently heard top 8 and for sure top 10 all year.
Did anyone see if Sebby got drafted? If not, lucky us - he has one more year of eligibility left!
