Not exactly Landon Lassiter's best season with UNC. He got into some trouble earlier this year for not going to a tutoring session as well.

 

Carolina Baseball ‏@DiamondHeels May 22

Landon Lassiter has been suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team.

I just found out that Landon Lassiter was dismissed from UNC baseball team for asking Coach Fox what he did wrong to not be playing LF

Actually signable at this stage?

 

Up in the air but I think he will sign. Not sure what else he can gain from going back to school for his senior year at a smaller D-1 school. I would assume he would get more money as a junior then he would as a senior even if he moved up to round 10, correct? Not familiar with how the money works.

 

He pitched in the Cape Cod League last night which I thought was interesting. Maybe he could really up his stock if he pitched great in that league and also next year. He does have a lot to work on, mainly control

Sounds like he fits right in with the football and basketball programs there at UNC!

UNC is as dirty a school as their is re athletes and academics. NO telling what a "tutoring" session means at that place.

This doesn't bother me.

Draft tracker frozen?

The Astros have had some really interesting selections on day 3. I can't imagine they sign everyone they've taken so far but they've cleaned up in this draft (as you should with 2 top 5 picks plus a comp pick between the 1st and 2nd rounds).

It is frozen for me.

They have like 17.5 million draft pool plus another 5% on top of that.

compare that to our paltry 5.5 million, and yeah. I think they'll sign most everyone.

I'm sure they will sign everyone from days 1 and 2. I'm more referring to a guy like Cole Sands who they took in Round 22 who I imagine will be a really tough sign even for them.

Well, Cameron is getting $5M of that and Tucker is likely to be near that as well, so really they have $7.5 to sign the #2 pick and everyone else they have drafted from the second round on.

I would bet that Cameron signs for quite a bit less than $5M.

With their 27th round pick, #802 overall, the #WhiteSox have selected LHP Alex Katz from St. John's!

Its possible, but that was the rumor floating around Sunday/Monday. He put a $5M price tag out there and the Astros were trying to go underslot at #2 to pay him in the comp round, which is why 29 other teams passed on a top 10 guy.

Lots of seniors, Sox appear to be drafting on the cheap late in the draft this year, perhaps they are planning to go big in the July international class, or maybe the payroll was stretched too thin with the Cabrera signing and they had to borrow some money from the draft.

He could certainly be lying but Mike Cameron said that the $5 mil rumor was false.
