MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo reports that Fresno State righthander Tanner Scheppers will be sidelined with a stress fracture in his shoulder. Mayo suggests that the serious injury is likely to drop Scheppers out of the top ten picks. The risk is increased, but now Scheppers will drop and could become a steal.
By the way, bookmark Mayo's new blog, Geeking On The Draft. I am pretty sure we have some draft geeks in this crowd.
A stress fracture in the shoulder? Haven't heard that one in a while. It seems like something that could sideline him for a while but that he could come back from without too much affect. That said he will probably go to a team that has the money to risk it in the second half of the first round. Maybe Tigers or Yanks.

Didn't know about that one. I just assumed it was some inflammation or soreness or something.

Damn poor kid...maybe he will go to a good team and not be rushed maybe like if he was drafted by a few of the teams in the top 10

I see scheppers going somewhere between 10-25. The Cards are looking to restock that bare system. Same with Mariners.

If he slips to #18, I hope the Mets grab him . . .
