He will probably be an NFL safety when he is done with college anyways.

He's a physical freak. I don't see any reason not to take a flier with a late pick for a guy like that.

$100,000 fliers aren't cheap. Surprised the scout thought he even had a hit tool. Had 17 strikeouts in the one year he played HS baseball compared to 18 hits.

Oh well, at least he gets a 100K and can tell everyone he played professional baseball. Not sure if he wants to admit that though.

The fact that Lombard has a job in baseball is the most incredible thing I've read all week.
