Not that this means anything but:

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. |

Since you don't know what you have with even advanced prospects in baseball, I don't understand not going BPA at every slot. This is why we ****ed up with Longoria, whom we didn't even consider because "we had Gordon." Oops. |

I believe once he starts to attend class (even summer classes?) then he would be ineligible to ge drafted by MLB for 3 years.
Remember he has a football scholly at Neb. and I'm sure the coaching staff wants him up there as soon as possible now that his HS season is over and he has graduated to start hitting the weight room. I'm not sure if the NCAA/Big 10 requires athletes to take classes while participating in summer workouts. |

Totally agree that Starling's number of ABs is surprisingly low. Definitely a point of concern for all the front offices, I'd have to think.

You're right about the "at one time" bit, but it's pretty well accepted now that he'll be drafted as a CF, and he has the athleticism to stick at the position.

I think there's a 25% chance he's at Nebraska in the fall. That's actually up from what I thought a few months ago. I used to think there was no chance he'd play at Nebraska. I think he's intrigued by the challenge of being a multi-sport college athlete. I think he could end up at Nebraska if he's not picked in the top 5 in the draft.

0% chance he's at Nebraska in the fall. If I'm wrong, Starling is so ****ing stupid that the team that selects him should be thankful that he didn't sign.

I saw a vid of him, along with his HS baseball coach and they certainly played the college card heavily. I'd think that's mostly a negotiating ploy. I'd be SHOCKED if he doesn't get drafted top 10 and jump. |
