I don't see Chaffin staying. Isn't he on pace to graduate and I think he took part in senior day activities if I am not mistaken.

That said

Would love to see him one more year

Heard Chaffin was taken in the 13th round today. Believe it was on ******** I saw it.

Just looked and think the person who reported this was wrong, looks like Sherrod was the 13th round Aggie to me.

Cason was drafted in 13th, no Chafin yet. I also would like to see him return.

Chafin has graduated and will take a "normal" job if he isn't drafted.

Asa Lacy went 942nd overall to Indians.

You have to be enrolled and taking classes to play a NCAA sport.

I don't think that's accurate. You don't lose a year of eligibility because you graduated early. You just have to request a waiver to the NCAA...that's what graduate transfers do all the time.

You CAN play a fourth year. You just have to be enrolled in school. This isn't an issue in full scholarship sports like football where graduate transfers are common, but in baseball the kids have to decide if playing another year is worth the cost.

---

Yea I get it, just don't think it's right to force someone to enroll in classes that they obviously don't need just to be able to play your senior year. You should get to play 4 years no matter what as long as you are in good academic standing/graduated...but it's the NCAA so I guess I'm not surprised.

Chafin goes in Round 32

Sorry but it's not looking good

---

He needs one more season. I don't know if he's hurt or has been in extended spring training, but either way he needs one more look with an affiliate. If it's not any better the second time around, then yeah, he's probably done. But a bit too early now to declare it

---

He is with an affiliate. Rookie, Extended, Short-season, etc., all affiliates. Could make an argument that Extended is just an unoffial affiliate, but it is basically Rookie ball until the official Rookie Leagues begin. Playing in front of paid attendance has no bearing on the organization's evaluation of a player. You're either a player or not, statistics are irrelevant and raw ability carries the most weight at the lowest levels, while polish matters a little in High A, and the combination gets you to the big leagues from AA and AAA.

Not trying to kill your post, but just wanted to clarify what an affiliate is and evaluations happen everywhere, constantly, by every organization on every other organizations players.

this is where the coaching staff has to decide how bad they want an experienced left-handed arm out of the bullpen...capable of pitching multiple innings.

if tuition cost is an issue, then you bump up the scholarship % until it's manageable for him

I suspect we could make the money work for Chafin. The issue would be what he wants to do. For some kids (no idea if this applies to Chafin or any of our other guys), once they've decided they are going to sign, there is a tendency to not take care of academics that last semester.

Chafin went through the Senior Day stuff and was moving on, whether by draft or a real job he has lined up. It is possible a run to the CWS could make him want another shot, but it seems highly unlikely.

you get 4 years of eligibility, so long as you are in good standing and enrolled as a full time student. You can use up your 4 years and still not have graduated, or you can graduate and still have a year or so left of eligibility. You are given 4, and it is up to you on how many of those you use. He can certainly pursue a second degree, or apply to grad school, and still use his 4th year of eligibility. But that is up to him.

No athlete is guaranteed 4 years no matter what. There are stipulations to that.

If he has graduated, he cant just enroll in classes. He would either have to reapply to seek a 2nd bachelors or apply to grad school. Both require him to be accepted. Grad school would also require GRE.

If its something he hasnt considered until now, it may not be possible for him to just "decide" to stay.

Yea but they should change that for situations like this is all I'm saying. Could be motivation to graduate early rather than a deterrent.

Why? Then it no longer is an amateur sport. You no longer have a student-athlete, you have a full grown man who is working a full time job, not enrolled in school, but is playing a college sport. Theoretically, he could go work for a sports management firm, play college ball, promote himself, and get himself a nice signing deal. That is not "amateur", which is what college ball is.

college sport = student athlete. If you dont understand that, or get why it is that way, I'm not sure what to tell you.

he's not being punished. He got a degree that will allow him to get a job, and he got to play ball while doing so. That's what he signed up for.

Even if he was getting 100% scholarship, he would pass up whatever small signing bonus the mets throw at him plus whatever he would make working for a year. He has his degree. It does not sound like he loves college enough to stick around another year.

How much upside does a SR relief pitcher have?

Thanks. Didn't bother to look at the top. Sigh

Well I guess there is a 95% chance we lose all the juniors that were drafted.

What are the odds that Conlon makes it to Aggieland? And Scherff? Less than 50/50?

Well below 50/50, highly unlikely either will play for us. 2 or 3 percent chance at best.
