I still just don't understand how this happened, unless he just completely changed his mind after round 2 about going to college (or bluffed too hard to get his bonus higher) and then let teams know before round 3 he would still consider 2.5 and only the Mets were willing to punt rounds 4-10? That's my thinking. He may have tried to push for 4 and failed. If he'd asked for 3, there's a good chance he gets taken in the first round and not be a met right now, but it's pure speculation. He wouldn't be the first guy to ask for more than teams wanted to spend and end up getting less. |

Terrific news. Can anyone give us some comparable players? Maybe Hugh and low end. |

Did we know Allan is a Boras client? |
