When South Carolina and Vanderbilt take the field today, there are four potential first rounders in the upcoming June draft. Justin Smoak, Reese Havens, and James Darnell for Carolina all have a chance to go in the opening round while third baseman Pedro Alvarez for Vanderbilt could be the number one selection overall. Commodore LHP Mike Minor is a sure-fire early selection in next year's draft. He will not see action today but the 6'4" 210lb southpaw has all the tools to be a quality major leaguer... Before the season began, the SEC Coaches selected Vandy to win the East and Carolina to finish second. Both schools received votes to win the overall SEC crown. But after 30 games, the 4th and 5th seed are where these clubs finished. Instead of a matchup in the championship game, we battle in the losers bracket. Instead of battling for a Super Regional host site, we battle for a two-seed in a Regional. Both clubs have had their fair share of disappointment this season but a W today still keep a conference championship alive with a potential two-game set against Mississippi... another one of those clubs who are disappointed in their season to this point.
