Missou Baseball Draft Update

■ Tepesch not tipping hand about plans (Columbia Tribune)

Former Missouri pitcher Kyle Gibson, a first-round pick of the Minnesota Twins in 2009, said he believes Tepesch is a top-three-round talent and that if Texas gets him for 14th-round money, it would be a bargain.

But Tepesch’s decision has to come down to something more than money, Gibson said. It’s where he would place the value of college vs. pro ball.

“Make sure it’s what you want to do and not what someone else thinks you should do. You’re the one who’s going to have to live with it,” Gibson said. “I’m sure he’ll talk to Aaron Senne. He was in the same situation last year. That’s the decision I had to make when I was drafted out of high school.”
