Based on comments Murray has made publicly and his relationship with both Kevin Sumlin and Jake Spavital, there's a better chance of Murray
signing a multi-million dollar deal in June after an early-round
selection in the MLB First-Year Player Draft than being at Texas in
August.

Actually, you have to find an MLB team willing to potentially waste a pick that high. Unless he comes out and tells the MLB people that he is going to play baseball instead of football he, more than likely will not be selected in the first couple of rounds.

quote:Right, but a pick is only wasted if he's not going to take it. He's not going to take it unless he's drafted in the first couple rounds. So if he's drafted in the first couple rounds, there's a pretty high probability he'll take it. Then it wouldn't be wasting a pick.quote:quote:Don't the teams get compensated if they can't sign him?

Only if they offer a legitimate contract based on the slot he is drafted. Only problem is, baseball is a what have you done for me lately business and they usually will not waste a high draft pick on a draft pick they think they can't sign. Anything beyond the second round wouldn't be worth him missing college for.

Exactly 85% chance according to very knowledgeable source.
