No way the A's take Hobgood over Leake.

I have a question about Tanner Scheppers. Why does he have razor autos but isn't in the milb?

He was drafted last year and didn't sign.

Because he was drafted last year and is currently playing pro ball (indy league). Same as Aaron Crow.

same with Aaron Crow as well, both should be drafted in the early first round

Callis will be doing his 2nd version of BA's Mock Draft tomorrow.

+1
That list will actually be worth looking at. This list with Borchering at #4 (and I like that guy a lot, but there is no way he goes there) and Tate not listed ...utterly ridiculous.

Tate will not go in the 1st round. He doesn't have too.....

Boras does not want this because Tate's draft slot effects 5 other Boras clients that are in need of some help from getting their payday. The only safe Boras Clients are Ackley, Turner and Stephen. James Paxton's stock dipped terrible due to his poor showing in the SEC tourney, Brian Goodwin hasn't proven that his bat would move quick enough to warrant a rumored 3 million asking price, Grant Green didn't hit a HR in a PAC 10 stadium, Andy Oliver is looking like a 2nd Round pick, and I have a better chance of being drafted within the 1st 15 picks then Kentrail Davis to warrant a 4 million contract. Tate will get his 6 million whether he goes in the 1st round or the 4th round its doesn't matter..... Question will be if a team wants to pay that and if they think the 5 tools with play out in the minors for Tate.

The goal is to get the non performing Boras clients fitted in to slots that warrant their asking price even though their performance doesn't warrant the slot. Brian Goodwin was creating a buzz two weeks ago but once the Boras relation was explored it got quiet. Funny both him and Tate are UNC signees....

I hope Purke falls down to the Yanks. I'd love to cash in on that deal.

+1 for sure.

That would be incredible, but I'd rather see him end up in a less stressful environment for the sake of my fantasy team.

I don't know much about prospecting but I really don't see Grant Green falling below the Orioles with their SS situation.

Is Grant Green worth a 5th overall pick? Who knows. But the O's are DESPERATE for a SS.

Sure, I mean he was speculated to be an option for the M's at 2 not too long ago.

It would be absolutely shocking if Tate fell out of the Top Ten past the Tigers at 9 at the very worst. But let's bite on the hypothetical and worst case scenario that he did. Sure I could see some teams 10-25 passing on him due to contractual concerns, but does anyone in their right mind think that the Yankees and Red Sox let him slide past?
And I really don't see how Tate's position in the draft effects other Boras clients in any way. Their own performance coupled with their contract demands is what will define their respective draft position, not where another player, whom holds no other relationship other than the same agent, will be drafted - that would seem to border on collusion.

I thought you were saying that Law was standing behind the 1st round making faces as it talked to a crowd.

This would be much more interesting than Just Another List.
