That's not what I took it as based on the context...I thought he meant all three...because it's basically a given we'd sign one of the three. The question is, could we sign more?
OP updated.

Not sure how it's a given.

Where the 2015 draft class is headed: Quad Cities Michael Freeman (7) Tri-City Anthony Hermelyn (4) Trent Thornton (5) Garrett Stubbs (8) Scott Weathersby (10) Kevin McCanna (13) Johnny Sewald (14) Pat Porter (15) Adam Whitt (16) Drew Ferguson (19) Alex Winkelman (21) Ralph Garza Jr. (26) Brooks Marlow (29) Keach Ballard (31) Kolbey Carpenter (33) David Schmidt (undrafted) Greeneville Zac Grotz (28) GCL Also... could you not? Thanks in advance
My bad. I meant "one of the three". I know two of the three have tweeted that they plan to go college. I think that this is just their opening negotiation position. Money talks. All three have a number. BTW this is SOP for "advised" HS players. They make a college commitment. They get drafted. They tell the world that "Thanks for drafting me. I flattered, but I am going to college." When they get a reasonable offer, they forgo college and sign.
Ah gotcha, when you mentioned Baker having a price I assumed you meant all or at least 2 since he is the least likely, but yeah I agree. I would love to see one of Sands/Baker, but I doubt we can pull it off; it would depend on how much Daz actually signs for and how much we can save. If we can sign one of them then this draft would be even more amazing.

Bregman plays a good shortstop. Not plus range but it is good enough and he has a really quick glove to hand transfer (and a solid arm to boot).
Riley Ferrell has come out firing 95-97 MPH fastballs, and struck out his first man with an 88 MPH slider that looks more like a curveball.
Dang Ferrell looks good. I wonder how quickly he makes it to the big leagues. Also how does the CWS work? LSU lost so does that mean they are eliminated? Can we go sign Bregman now?
