Up date on CJ Hinojosa

[Donald Boyles]

One thing to keep in mind is that CJ has been playing on some Top Summer Teams(Houston Banditos Black) against the very best top Summer Teams. He knows how to adjust to those environment.

I don't follow baseball but at Texas we need no

Committing and then getting cut up? Yikes. When is the baseball draft?

Committing and then getting cut up? Yikes. When is the baseball draft?

I was just doing some research n this very topic;

Day 1 of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft is on Monday, June 4, at MLB Network's Studio 42 in Secaucus, N.J. The Draft will air live on MLB Network and MLB.com at 7 p.m. ET. MLB Network will air a preview show, simulcast on MLB.com, at 6 p.m.

More info on the draft;

The basics of the Draft, under the new CBA:
• Each team has a designated pool of bonus money it can use to sign players selected through the first 10 rounds. Minnesota, with the second-worst record in the Majors a year ago and holder of three supplemental picks, has the largest bonus pool, almost $12.37 million. Houston picks first overall, has 11 picks and has a pool of almost $11.2 million. Anaheim, with eight picks overall and none in the top 60, has the smallest pool, about $1.65 million. The total pool is $189.9 million, slightly less than 2011's 10-round spending total of $191.9 million.

• The deadline for signings, which had been in mid-August, has been moved up to July 13.

• Any player picked after the 10th round can be signed for a bonus of up to $100,000.

The shorter time frame is important, because it could mean an extra year of development in a professional system for more players.

Good info djbfootball. Are there projections on where Hinojosa or any of the other commits will be selected in the draft? Moreover, any that we should be worried about in terms of being drafted high enough to say goodbye to college ball?

Courtney Hawkins as high as the 25th best prospect.

Billy Nick Williams as high as a 1st round prospect-also have seen him the 50th.

Other high draft prospects

Austin Dean Klein Collins High School-team mate of CJ- I really like the way Austin plays the game

Wyatt Mathisen Corpus Christi Calallen

SS/RHP Tyler Gonzales from San Antonio Madison High School

 

[FJLA]

Mathisen is having a monster senior season, his draft stock very well could be soaring - still think his commitment is firm right now

Actually stat wise he is down from last year-Batting avg .458.

But he is having a great year on the mound.
