What if Iowa Western suggests to send Lundy to some league with better competition than North Dakota legion?

If Lundy were to choose not to come back, who would then be the MVP?

Posted: **Tue Oct 31, 2006 10:33 am**

my picks for 2007 MVP's.

offensive-      Tyler Liffrig

Defensive-     Andy Leer

Pitching-        Tyler Lundy (if he comes back)

coach-           Greg Beauchman (if he comes back)

overall mvp-  Tyler Lundy

you guys have got to be kidding if Tyler Lundy comes back he will be by far the best player in the state...it isnt even a comparison

overall mvp-lundy(if he comes back)

offensive mvp-lundy

defensive mvp-lundy

pitching mvp-wentz? are you kidding me i like the kid and hes a nice guy but no where near the pitcher lundy is

coach- larson (but i am biased)

Just a little more info on lundy since he is in college...he is starting in center field and is batting 3rd in the lineup and is starting over a kid that got drafted in the 16th round last year

From talking to players last year, it sounds like Lundy is coming back no matter what, which would be a state championship legion team that loses one player, Fred Nelson.

How do you put Lundy in front of Leer for defensive MVP. Leer had like a .975 fielding percentage this year and he is a shortstop. ya lundy is good in the field but he doesnt have near as much of a responsibility as leer at short stop. And Liffrig this year batted .500 with 27 HR's and 105 RBI's. Ya him and lundy might be close but come on 27 bombs and 105 RBI's......

I agree with your statement regarding the Jamestown coach, I however don't agree with your statement regarding Todd Larson as the best coach in the state, in my opinion he is not even close. He should have success, afterall he has the best baseballers from Minot and Ryan to use (currently they are totally loaded), he should win, I argue that any competent coach could accomplish what he has. I am not even addressing his less than professional antics on the field, with the umps, and his reputation amongst his coaching peers in the state, although, none would come right out and say it publicly, he is average at best.

not sure how you think larson is not even close to the best coach in baseball? you said he has the best ballplayers but i do believe that before the legion season everyone on this site had bismarck and williston ranked higher than minot so apparently he didnt have the best ball players...and as far as his reputation the majors must think his reputation is good being that he is a scout for the phillies

Who are you trying to kid? Why on earth would lundy want to come back and play legion in north dakota? when I am sure he is being asked to play in the northwoods or some league like that. why would someone with that much talent waste it by playing another year for legion? it would be almost funny watching him tee off on opposing pitchers though and would be worth the admission.

there are players who even get drafted and decide to play on their legion team again, so you never know

i have talked to tyler lundy's cousin and another close relative and apparently lundy is expected to be drafted in the top 15 rounds in next years mlb draft...he hit somethin like .415 in fall ball in iowa

Posted: **Mon Nov 27, 2006 5:46 pm**

That's because you heard it from close relatives, don't get me wrong, Lundy is a great player, but I wouldn't take that information as an automatic thing. It's a ways away before any of that is determined.

Posted: **Mon Nov 27, 2006 6:37 pm**

thats like me saying i heard from my grandpas uncle's son who was at a Yankees game that they are thinking about taking me in the top 2 rounds its all hearsay

Posted: **Mon Nov 27, 2006 8:05 pm**

I've also heard Lundy is supposed to be getting drafted. Like smartsource said, he's hitting above .400, starting in center, and I believe batting 3rd. He's playing above a few guys who had been getting a lot of looks by pro scouts last year and playing in center over people who did get drafted.

Who knows, it could happen. Show some love for the guy from North Dakota.

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2006 11:13 am**

I would not be surprised if Lundy got drafted.

ok how about this then...i talked to coach larson who i assume you know is a scout for the phillies and he said lundy's chances of coming back are slim 2 none because lundy will most likely get drafted this year

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2006 6:02 pm**

you didnt state that before you said a cousin and close relative iam sure he will get drafted he can play id say hes just as good as Carr

Posted: **Tue Nov 28, 2006 6:45 pm**

No one said he didn't have a chance at getting drafted, he probably does.

I personally didn't think Carr was that good, I see the top kids in the state last year going higher then he does. Yes he does throw 90 but in the stretch he hits only 83 to 84, thats very hittable...

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2006 10:34 am**

One thing that carr has over lundy is the intangibles. specifically being a LEFT handed pitcher who threw 90 in highshcool. not to take anything away from lundy, but big time colleges love the big lefthanders, because everybody and their brothers have hard throwing righties. He may be just as good, but a pro or big time college would be more willing to take a fly on a 90 throwing lefty than righty.

Well you have to put into account that Lundy wasnt being recruited to pitch. Carr was.

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2006 12:01 pm**

maybe he is getting recruited for pitching and playing outfield, you can't say no to someone who throws 90 from both the outfield and on the mound now can you?

ya i agree with you somewhat, but 60-70% of the time a pitcher throws from the stretch so when his velocity goes down 7 MPH to 83-84 it makes it hard for him even if he is a 6'5'' lefty

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2006 12:40 pm**

I am pretty sure he was being mainly recruited as a position player not as a pitcher.
