if the yankees get him it will most likely mean that they have worst record in baseball this year or posssibly next year. Don't see that happening

That or they throw some prospects and money at the crappy organization who has him.

I don't think the yanks have the prospects to pry this kid away from anyone. The hype surrounding this kid will alone fill a stadium

I love the quote his mom had in the article in SI. She said something like this, "his aau coach called and asked me if he said how well he did today, i said he did okay, and the coach proceeded to say okay, he went 12 for 12 with 11 home runs and a double, and thats when i knew he was pretty good!" Im trying to figure out, after u give up like 2 hrs shouldnt u jst like walk him, just a thought!

Prior would still be awesome if his body didn't fail him.

This kid had an article in SI a week or two back. I can't imagine anyone else who could ever hit a 570 foot home run as a freshman.

He'll be a Nat, more than likely.

Bryce has now decided to skip his last two years of high school. He is going to get his GED and go to a community college next year, so he will be able to be drafted by the Nationals first overall in next year's draft.

Is there some rule preventing him from declaring? From my understanding, MLB teams have signed 16 and 17 year old Latin American players. Is there a different standard for US born players??

This kid would look good in Royal blue.

I don't know the exact rules, but those players are just signed, they aren't drafted. I'm guessing there is some kind of discrepancy there with foreign players.

You only have to have graduated from high school and be 16 I am pretty sure

Unfortunately I think he will be teaming up with Strasburg in Washington, giving that they have a chance to sign both. Will be very interesting team to see 5 years from now.
