[QUOTE="twofortheroad, post: 435852, member: 2854"] The real blame if there is any would be on the Draft Pick's scout for the region and the advisor. Sounds like his advisor was feeding the scout with some bad info. The scout would have been having these conversations of what if - wonder who the kid's "advisor" was/is. The kid may have had insurance on the situation. That happened about 3 years ago with the number 1 draft pick Brady Aiken. He signed with the Astros, MRI showed an issue with his elbow, he said no to the money they offered, had insurance and sure enough he had to have Tommy John surgery. Went to IMG and was redrafted but make no mistake, that kid has made way over way his original offer was from the Astros with the insurance and the re-pick a year later with the Indians. It is usually a strategy with the advisor, player and family if they have opted out. I am quite sure this Braves pick has insurance on his wrist if anything happens now and he will be set. Insurance is quite expensive and a gamble the family will take if the money wasn't high enough. A similar situation happened with Jonathan Thomas in his high school draft year and the Orioles, the Orioles were right. My understanding is that the team cannot ask for you to do any medical procedure/x-ray/mri prior to the draft but you do have to supply all of your medical records to the system prior to the draft. But it's interesting the Braves wouldn't have passed on him unless they thought they could gamble with with the kid and could offer the 40%, they had bad info from the scout through the advisor/family - the family wasn't being truthful with the team or their advisor wasn't being truthful with the scout. That is what happened with Aiken, he was offered the 40% and he passed...game one at IMG, poof...had to have surgery. [/QUOTE]
