How likely does it seem now that the Royals will get something done with Moustakas?

Posted by Stotle | August 15, 2007 at 7:53 pm | ShortcutI’m not sure, but hopefully this will pull Boras back a bit. Next year’s crop looks a little thinner than this year, so a comp pick will certainly be less valuable (even without taking the lost year of development into account).
Is here any chance at all the Phils sign Brandon Workman or Mark Adzick??
Posted by Berger | August 15, 2007 at 8:25 pm | ShortcutIam a sick dog tonite.. It appears my orioles will not pay wieters.. The director Joe Jordan says this is the player he wants the demands are very close toreports from before the draft but the Orioles say they are 5m apart.. Some rebuilding the farm effort. I figure we been lied to.
