MLB Dlog: Boras vs. Angelos on the Horizon

How many other drafts will you see where a player's status is lowered because of who his agent is? The Baltimore Orioles selected Matt Wieters, catcher out of Georgia Tech, with the fifth pick. He was projected as the second pick, but teams don't like dealing with Scott Boras. Seems as though his clients lack "signability", a word ESPN made up for today's coverage. Corner infielder Mike Moustakas went second overall to the Royals, Cubs took 3B Josh Vitters with the third pick and Pittsburgh took Dan Moskus with the fourth selection. Moustakas is straight out of high school where he hit 52 career home runs, 24 this season. Both are California state records. Bud Selig greeted him with a Kansas City cap and a urine cup.
