For all of you who think he is THAT great of a player, you need to wake up and smell the coffee. The kid is very marginal at best. He's lucky he's even going to the U of K where he'll be starting at warming up the bench for the Jayhawks. Anybody can put a ball out of a 305 ft park with an exo-grid, it isn't that hard. We all saw how awesome of a hitter he was when they put a wood bat in his hands. What do you idiots think he will be using in the pros? A stealth? Get a fricken clue. Do you guys all have a love affair with the kid or what? Or maybe he has 500 different names on here and he's just talking himself up, who knows. I'm not saying the kid doesn't have any talent, because he obviously does, but all you homers talk like he's the next A-rod. He's lucky he's even playing at a D-1 school. Lundy was the best player to come out of ND in a long time, and he hasn't even been drafted yet, he is a WAY better all around player than Elgie, it's not even close. You morons needs to remember we are playing in NORTH DA love KOTA, the talent around here is complete garbage. Anybody can hit a 65 mph fastball down the cock 305ft. Throw a fastball at Elgie's letters or an offspeed pitch and he will swing right out of his dang shoes. The sad part about it is, is Zac isn't exactly the most humble kid either. Anyone I know who's ever played against him thinks he's the most arrogant athlete to come out of ND. And from what I've seen, it's completely true. His day will come where he will notice that he is at the bottom of the chain at the college level and he will be done with baseball after his 4th year. When that day comes, me, along with a million other people will be laughing when the closest he'll get to playing in a professional game is when he comes to the metrodome to watch the twinkies play. All you Elgie homers need a wake-up call because the kid is not as good as you bring him up to be. Let's see how he does at the college level, when the U of K will regret ever recruiting him.

You're from Minot? Did Elgie take your position or something? I dont know how you can rip the kid like this, he's proved he's a special talent, have you watched him play baseball? Yeah he didn't do the best with wood, most ppl struggled with it, but did you se him play at the central plains regional last year? You can't tell me that was no fluke he played against some good competition and tore apart Eden Prairie, MN who happened to finish 2nd in the World Series. And I dont think hes very cocky at all, from my experiences playing against him in football and baseball, he's a high competitor, doing whatever he can to get his team to win. His confidence may come out all wrong on the field because of his ability, but I dont know the kid off the field, he may seem arrogant on the field but I would say it is mostly confidence and his work ethic.

Lundy also played a two years less than Zac, so take that into consideration.

Minot Stunna wrote:Regardless, Elgie and Lundy cant be compared. Elgie is a better power hitter, more than likely the best in the state. Lundy was a better all-around player, he might have been as good a pitcher as a hitter. Two different types of players, both very good at what they do.

Kansas won the Big XII tournament in 2006, had 6 players drafted that year and has 14 players currently in organized ball and 3 in the majors. Rich "Hey Babe" Price has that program headed in a new direction in his 5 years there. I agree with you he will not make an immediate impact. Maybe platoon first year and see action as a pinch hitter. He needs to develop defensively for the next level.
