Daily dose of Weaver speculation
Rob passes along two Jered Weaver-related notes today. First being that he has signed with the Camden Riversharks of the independent Atlantic League. There he joins fellow Boras-represented draft holdout Stephen Drew.
More interestingly, Baseball America says the buzz around front offices is that both Weaver and Drew will sign rather than re-enter the draft. The reason being that refusing to accept the deals the Angels and DiamondBacks have tabled will have a negative effect the draft status of this year's crop of Boras clients. That's the first time I've seen anyone make that consideration, but it makes a whole lotta sense. Though I still say the Angel's offer is ridiculously low, and a deal doesn't get done in time.
