Its lookin more like Kelly will be a Vol because hes falling in the draft. The teams that most thought would take him let him go by.

ESPN's most recent draft board didn't have him on it (in the first round, I guess)...it mentioned him for the Cubs and Yankees ... but guessed they would each pass on him.

He just passed at 26. It looks like we may luck out on him.

I'm sure teams are worried about drafting him because of his signing with the Vols. They don't want to spend an early pick on someone who may not accept their offer. I know I would hate that.

The big ? on him is his batting if he plays SS.

Most teams want him as a pitcher but he wants to play SS but doesnt have a good enough bat for teams to take a chance on him. He throws in the mid to low 90s' and thats without devoting himself to pitching. Scouts think if he devotes to pitching he can easily reach high 90s'.

well if he doesnt sign u get the same pick the next yr so its not that big of a risk to draft him... he knows baseball is his best option to make it big time... imo he going to sign with the team he gets drafted by

The problem with him going this late is he will goto a good team and be hard for him to pass up that opportunity. Waiting for the Yankees to draft I was like, man I am not a baseball fan but if the Yankees drafted me it would be hard to say no.

High 90's? yeah right. He wouldn't still be undrafted with that potential.
