SportsProf had read for weeks that the first two picks in the draft were going to be Jered Weaver, a pitcher from SoCal who is the brother of Jeff Weaver, now trying to resurrect what was a promising career (he's with the Dodgers, a good place to resurrect your pitching career unless you're Andy Ashby) or Stephen Drew, an SS from Fla. State who is the younger brother of J.D. Drew and AAAA (not a typo) pitcher Tim Drew. So what happened -- they dropped in the draft to 12th and 15th respectively (okay, so not a big drop, but big enough to cost the clients millions). Why: they are represented by Scott Boras. Scott Boras has become shorthand for "they are asking for much more money than they are worth."
Then again, perhaps this is an omen for the Grand Old Party, as the first pick in the MLB draft was Matt Bush, a HS OF from SoCal.
