I would be surprised if those 3 go. Oriente’s doesn’t have a position. Snider has the tools especially speed but a .289 BA in college is not where it needs to be. Hopefully these guys see how close they came and come back with a desire to win it all.I know Snider got drafted,Lavey didn't. Not sure about Oriente.
I heard that Campbell was signing for 100K. Not sure how late he was.Anyone know if there's much of a slot bonus expected for the guys drafted in the later rounds?...
In the grand scheme of things that isn't that much and probably not much different if he stayed. He may not improve his stock with another year but I doubt he hurts it. I get the rush to leave in basketball and football not so much in baseball. The path to the MLB is long and tough even for the elite guys. A lot of it has to do with the MLB roster. You better look at the entire roster from single to MLB. Can image you being drafted by Reds as a short stop with Larkin. You aren't going anywhere in that organization for a long time.I heard that Campbell was signing for 100K. Not sure how late he was.

The college experience is so much better than the minors especially at Louisville.
With that said you can never be critical of a kid pursuing their dreams.
Don't know about Smiddy,but Campbell's family told me at the Supers that he's gone.• OF, Drew Campbell(Jeffersonville, Ind./Jeffersonville HS) – 23rd Round – 697th Selection – Atlanta Braves
• RHP, Shay Smiddy(Defiance, Ohio/Defiance HS) – 36th Round – 1088th Selection – Tampa Bay Rays
I’d expect everybody on that list except for possibly Campbell and Smiddy to go.
