| Casey Kelly
Saw this on SI.com this morning:
Casey Kelly, SS, Sarasota (Fla.) High
Kelly's a quality pitcher, but his future at the next level probably lies in the infield, just like his father, Pat, who played eight years in the majors. Casey has a smooth swing and could develop into a top-notch power hitter. Some scouts say he will eventually shifted from shortstop to third base. Kelly also signed with the University of Tennessee as a quarterback. The lure of SEC football makes him the player most likely on this list to actually attend college and could lead to him falling on some draft boards.
Prediction: Top 20 pick |

| I don't remember where I saw it at, but some website had him as the 8th best high school baseball player in the country. | |

| I hope he skips baseball and come to play QB for us. We will really need him for depth in the next couple of years. |

| Why would he skip a huge signing bonus and a guaranteed contract to wait in line to play QB for at least two years? Plus if he ever does make it to the NFL, he can expect a shorter career with no guaranteed contract.
I'd say his decision is pretty easy | |

I'd say his decision is pretty easy | I think I remember his dad pushing for him to go to UT. | |

| I love Tennessee and all, but if I was drafted in the first round of the MLB, I'd be gone | |

| Baseball america just ranked him as the #20 prospect for the MLB draft. That was of both college and HS kids.
