No major injuries so far in
the conference games. Hopefully, writing this won’t jinx anyone.
This just in… Ga Tech Blake Wood had Tommy John surgery Friday.
Don’t look for any particular
performance during these games, or the World Series, to change the status of
each player on an MLB team’s board. The high school kids are still being
individually worked out, and, yes, all the college scouts are in the field, but
the boards are pretty set.
What can still happen is a
senior go nuts during the next few weeks or a name some team has projected as a
late round pick, strikes out 14 somewhere. That usually sets off a shit storm
of major proportions. Some scouts are told to hound the kid and pray he pitches
again before the team loses and shuts down. Others start calling coaches of
opposing teams to get much too late scouting reports.
I’m sure there was someone
out there that would have told you that Mike Piazza can
surely hit the ball.
I’m being told that Clemson
3B Richie Shaffer is a guaranteed top 15 pick. I
know the Tiger can hit, but, in my research, that’s pretty high. We seem to be
starting to see the realization that there are about five great bats in this
draft and that’s it.
The word going around the
camps is that OF Anthony Alford is telling
everyone not to draft him because he intends to go to college. One scout told
me, ‘yeah, that’s what Josh Bell said…”.
The father of one of the top
projected picks in the upcoming draft told me that ‘he knows little about the
draft process’ and that his ‘son doesn’t follow it at all…”. Ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha….
