Good news all around for Vandy Baseball

1. Tim Corbin is staying at VU after rejecting a huge offer from Oregon to restart their program. Read Kendall Rogers' article for the details.

2. As expected, #1 overall pick David Price signed with the Devil Rays. The deal guarantees DP $8.5 million and it could be worth over $11 million. This is going to have a huge impact on recruiting and ensuring that top pitching prospect arrive on campus (ahem, Sonny Gray) and don't go to the pros immediately after high school. This deal also means that the two biggest MLB rookie contracts ever were given to pitchers who played at Vanderbilt (Mark Prior was a Commodore for a year before transferring to USC). The Price is Right.

3. First team All-American Dominic Of The Bear is returning as well. DLO was taken in the 10th round by the Tigers, but he struggled in the NCAA regionals and all summer in the Cape Cod League. Vanderbilt will have 8 of it's 9 position players returning from last year's team, with left field being the only position in the air as of now. There will be no better college team with a better middle of the lineup than Pedro, Flash, and DLO. If we can get the pitching we need to replace Price, Weathers, Crowell, Davis, etc., then the outlook for next year is bright.
