I'm always skeptical that these types of things have more to do with being a favor then the kid's talent level. I would hope that's not the case this early in the draft.
They just picked the guy, they didn't sign him. The guy on the feed is convinced he's going to college. Yes, but they're at least showing that they're willing to pony up some cash.
Good that leaves them no money to resign Kemp in 2013. He'd look good in another blue uniform. You really think KC has a shot at signing him? Why must you crush my dreams?
Who else is out there worth spending big on? Maybe Bell? Bell sent a letter to all the teams pleading not to draft him because he's going to school. Asking for a $30 million bonus is negotiating. Telling teams not to bother until 2014 is not. Even so I would mind the Cubs taking the chance a little later on.
