College baseball probably means more to LSU than any other school by a wide margin. Tons of money there. 

Vandy is a baseball school with some very wealthy donors as well.  I figured they would have tons to offer there.  Either Vandy is behind the ball, or I'm greatly underestimating LSU's commitment there.

Berry and Neto would certainly be underslot at 4.  Parada is expected to go in that area and may agree to a very slight discount, be he doesn't make sense for the Pirates who took Henry Davis at 1st overall last year.  BPA and all that, but it's a stretch to take 2 collegiate catchers with top 5 overall picks in back to back years when neither is a Buster Posey type of generational prospect.

I would assume they would move Parada to 1B…Pirates have hardly anything there. 
 

Just my .02

If the Pirates go underslot, they need to take Collier.

Rumors were that he was their guy about a week ago but all the smoke right is either Lee or Johnson.

Have to imagine Texas is pretty irritated right now.  Had to figure going into the draft they would get either Holliday or Jones.  Now not going to get either.

Think they go Parada. They want to win and he's probably the quickest to the majors at a position of value, if he can stick.

underestimating LSU and overrating Vandy. They had 19 kids in the portal after the end of the year. Many were looking to get out.

Kinda what I was thinking.  Maybe Berry is in play?

That'd be a galaxy brain pick tbqh. Go Parada or Lee if you want a college bat.

Have to imagine they'd get him for a bit under-slot.  And there's the first shocker of the draft.

oh wow
