2023 MLB Draft

Does Rivera have a future as an MLB shortstop or is he likely going to be moved to third?

 

Maybe he’ll eventually end up with the ray’s and he can play everything but catcher.

 

SS

 

I think Florida is going to have its first #1 overall pick later tonight. Would be the first in school history for any sport.

I love Colby and he can on occasion make a Brooksian play at third, but a collegiate position player that hits well below 0.300 ain't going to be drafted very high if at all.

I know that his bat came around late in the season but it wasn't there early in the season.

If I was drafting players as a GM I might take him as a late round flier and hope for the best. He has some skills.

 

Waldrup's splitter is already MLB level. And he can touch 100 with his four seamer. That combo harnessed correctly is totally unfair. I think some team is going to get a steal in this draft with him.

 

If Langford went number 1 he would be the first one for the gators in a major sport.

 

Yep.

#41 Neal Walk went second behind Lew Alcindor (later Kareem Abdul Jabbar).

 

Good question.

Rivera has a very strong arm and a good third baseman needs that.

I have watched him for years and I would put him in the middle of UF SS's defensively. That is not a bad thing.

 

I really hope Halter comes back. He's a gamer, a team player and a tremendous leader. Maybe he'll take a big leap at the plate in 2024 like Rivera did this year and that would make him some $$ in next year's draft.

 

We will soon find out if a kid from the one traffic light town of Trenton, Florida will be a top 5 draft of MLB. Go Wyatt.

 

The Pirates are on the clock

 

1. Skenes

 

Wow. That's a bit of a surprise, I guess....

 

2. Crews

 

3 Max Clark - HS
Gatorade Player of the Year 2023

 

I'm shocked based on what I heard leading up to tonight.

 

Good luck with a high school kid over arguably the best hitter in the SEC
