Sounds like Brett Morales isn't getting teams to meet his bonus demands:

 

@brett_morales34: Can't wait to be a Florida Gator blessed to have that opportunity and can't wait to help them win a National Championship! God's plan for me

 

C Chris Okey:

 

@kileymcd: Sounds like Eustis HS (FL) catcher Chris Okey (my #45 prospect) is firm on his $1.5M demand & will go to Clemson. @KendallRogersPG wins one.

More like your bank account's plan.

 

Does Wahl have signability concerns?

[Elrhino]

Do the Astros go Biggio?

I kind of want Biggio, just for the lulz.

Velo issues, likely due to blister problems.

No, though if he falls too much, he might return for his senior year so he can try to rebuild his draft stock.

 

That's how Buck Farmer returned to Georgia Tech for this season.

Nice pick.

redrafted RHP from Kent State,

Tyler Skulina RHP Kent State

Tyler Skulina - RHP/1B Kent State

 

BA's #73

[Rob]

Good pick

[jersey cubs fan]

6'05" 235lbs DOB: 09/18/91

Skulina played a key role in Kent State’s Cinderella run to the 2012 College World Series and has taken on an even bigger role this spring as the Golden Flashes ace. He relies on his fastball-curveball combination to attack hitters and isn’t afraid to challenge them. Skulina’s fastball sits in the low-90s and runs in on right-handers. His curveball has good break and should be a Major League average offering. He uses his 6-foot-5, 235-pound frame to create a good downhill plane for both pitches. Skulina needs to develop his changeup to reach his potential.

Toonster will be happy with that one.

If the Cubs take him in the 2nd round and take Zscaszrzkrazzr in the 4th, I'm pretty happy with this draft.

So if both sign, you should be happy.

A Milwaukee scout, based in St. George, informed the Hannemanns that only five returned missionaries have made it to major leagues — and none from Utah.

 

new market inefficiency

 

Utah based returned missionaries are due for a big splash. Our boys are always a step ahead.

Most of the prospect media rankings had Zastryzny and Skulina relatively closely ranked (for example, BA ranked Skulina only 3 spots higher than Zastryzny).

Theo and Co. drafts are so much different than Hendry and Co. drafts. This difference is a pure calm and zen chill.
