Good luck to Danny.  He did a great job for us this year and wish him all the best.

Congrats Danny.

will he go?  don't know much about the draft, but that seems late.  how many rounds and picks are there?

[JoeB]

Will he go??  Yes, he'll go.  He's a Senior and has already graduated.

That really isn't late.  He wouldn't be considered a sure bet to make it to the major leagues, but the draft typically lasts about 50 rounds.  He'll certainly get a good shot to work his way up through the minors.

There is never a sure bet to make the major's. Less than 1% of the drafted players ever make it to the major leagues! No matter what round you are picked in. But there are many players that make the major's that are drafted in any round.

I think the percentage is higher than that, but players do make the majors from many different rounds.

Percentage is NOT higher than that.

I stand corrected. Less than 1 percent ever get drafted. And out of the 1% that get drafted, less than 10% makes it to the Major Leagues!

Sorry about that!
