John Gianis | 26 | 795 | Angels | JR |
Jake Junis | 29 | 876 | Royals | HS |
Rob Chamra | 34 | 1034 | Dodgers | SR |
All save Chamra have a decision to make about next season. Here's what I've been able to find...
Brett Austin -- Padres confident they can sign him.
Cory Mazzoni -- going pro.
Pratt Maynard -- unknown. Likely gone.
Harold Riggins -- unknown. Likely gone.
Jason Creasy -- open to turning pro, says he entered draft with 50-50 chance he'd go to school.
Brandon Culbreth -- going pro.
John Leonard -- going pro.
Carlos Rodon -- mulling options, asking for $750k-$800k. Brewers would've taken him in the 4th if he'd agreed to take $250k. (Rodon probably ends up at State.)
Trea Turner -- unknown.
Brett Williams -- leaning pro.
John Gianis -- open to turning pro, open to staying in school.
Jake Junis -- open to turning pro, looking for "premium deal." He is "perfectly happy to go to N.C. State and enjoy the college experience."
