Wow, looks like the Astros were right not to sign this guy for top money. Still wish they would have taken Rodon.

I wish they would have done their due diligence before drafting him and screwing up the rest of the draft. At least they did not compound their screw up by giving him a ton of money. The old regime would have kept digging the hole somehow.

quote:Teams can ask for players to complete a physical pre-draft. I would guess few players would agree to it. There is some sort of pre-draft medical evaluation done by mlb prior to the draft for top players, but I would be very surprised if this included an MRI. A handful of players recovery from injury have had physicals performed pre-draft to try to prove they were healthy.quote:quote:you do realize they are not allowed to do any medical tests on prospects until after the draft don't you?

quote:I stand sort of corrected. MLB clubs can do pre-draft tests, but they are rarely done because all clubs then need to be provided access. Agents would probably not let that happen. Aiken was required to turn over medical records. But if there was no existing MRI or x-ray of his UCL then no one would no about it until after the draft. Considering his pre-draft ranking I'm assuming those records did not exist and no one including the Astros knew about it or could they under the rules.
Medical Records/Post-Draft Physical Examinations,
College Scholarship, Bonus Recoupment, and NCAA1. Medical RecordsThe top 200 prospects identified by the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau will participate in a Pre-Draft Medical Program. If selected, the players will be required to provide to the Major League Scouting Bureau all pre-existing medical records relating to their physical condition, including MRIs, X-Rays and CT Scans. The records will be provided to Clubs through Major League Baseball's Electronic Medical Records system ("EMR"). A player in this group may not provide additional medical information to one Club (including submitting to a pre-draft physical) without providing all other Clubs who request it with the same access to the information. If a player selected for the Program refuses to provide the medical information required of participants in the Program, he shall be prohibited from providing or disclosing medical information to any Club.
2. Post-Draft Physical Examination(a) The drafted player submits to a complete physical examination conducted by the Club before an agreement is reached on the terms of a Minor League UPC; or(b) The Player and the Club reach a tentative agreement on a Minor League UPC, which is contingent on the Player passing a complete physical examination conducted by the Club, and the Player successfully passes the physical examination (including the reporting of all test results) prior to the deadline

So basically, yall can kiss my ass.

Sounds like Aiken's agent screwed this up. If Aiken signs with Astros he gets $5 million and the Astros pay for his surgery/re-hab plus he has 'started' his major league career which counts for something if he ever negotiates contract # 2. Did I miss something?
