His family will say all the right things because that is what gives them leverage in negotiations.
He will go top 10, and no lower than #9 to the Cubs. I bet his bonus will be $7MM. No way he ever steps foot on Nebraska's campus as a student. |

Whats the chances the Royals draft him? I would think he def. would go pro if they draft him. Also how signable is he?

You don't retain Scott Boras as an "adviser" and then go to college. He'll get drafted and he'll play baseball.

I think it's decent, but the rumors are that the Royals want pitching. Who knows at this point though because everyone is throwing out smoke signals.
He's signable for anyone as long as they show him the money. It's no surprise at this point how much he will cost, and you don't sign Scott Boras if you are not looking to get paid. |

I'll be surprised if the Royals don't take him if he's there, and I think his bonus will be in the 5-6 range.

Not that this means anything but:
http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/e...97882/29598322 I think he's going pro as well. I just don't see a position where he starts unless possibly at WR. |

Starling probably represents a nightmare scenario for the Royals. If they pass, and he turns out to be a stud in the majors, the backlash could be huge, especially if whoever they select with that college experience does not pan out. Last edited by Coogs; 05-27-2011 at 02:09 PM.. |

A college pitcher would help us a lot faster, as Starling will need some time to develop. But if he turns into the next Josh Hamilton or Carl Crawford for another team, people are going to be PISSED. |

Rany had a guy on yesterday discussing this. They don't think the Royals will pick him. He has hitting concerns because of where he played HS and the lack of...other...games (I'm not familiar with HS baseball, is it like basketball with the AAU circuit?), and the fact that he is a 3-5 year prospect. They will go after a college pitcher if one is available.

Now he missed some time with a quad injury and he obviously was walked a ton because he is the star player on his team, but damn, 27 at bats is not a lot of data to make a multi-million dollar decision on a kid. |
