LAFAYETTE — The Major League Baseball draft begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, and with only the first two rounds being selected on the first day, it’s virtually a lock that no Louisiana-Lafayette players will go off the board.
As for the rest of the draft, coach Tony Robichaux figures that will be quiet, too.
Robichaux said that he hopes seniors like Eric Carter, Kyle Clement, Stefan Trosclair and Nick Thurman hear their name called at some point throughout the process, though he acknowledged that entering the draft as a senior makes it more difficult because teams can lowball prospects who have no leverage to return to school.
