That's what he is leaving behind. Forgot all about Matt Harrington. What an idiot. I'm all for taking a chance on Aiken based on the same parameters that many of you have mentioned: checks out okay with our medical staff and Coop. So many picks never pan out anyway that I'm willing to take a chance on him if we think he'll hold up physically.

Yeah, I wouldn't do it for full slot because of the risks, but if he checked out, and he would be willing to give a good discount to prevent falling into the 20's like the new mocks are showing, I would do it.

That is the risk for Aiken. you are 100% right. in the next CBA, that is going to be address. i think its for the top several rounds or less.
May 29, 201510 yr Jim Callis retweeted Hugh McKillop You never know but that would surprise me. Won't be able to pitch much before 2016 @MLBDraft. Someone pays him now. Jim Callis @jimcallisMLB 58m58 minutes ago No injured P in top 10. Hearing a lot of Daz Cameron chatter at 9. @OneManArmy_10: Do Cubs take @Aiken at 9? If not, who? @MLBDraft Jonathan Mayo retweeted Dan Seyller Aiken is wildcard. Teams will need to be OK w/medical. New mock (coming soon) has him middle of 1st #mlbdraft
June 2, 201510 yr Kiley McDaniel @kileymcd 8m8 minutes ago Brady Aiken's medicals are out, but situation still murky. Only some teams have them, most are still processing them http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/brady-aiken...s-still-cloudy/ …
