Tanner Scheppers Has A Stress Fracture
Jonathan Mayo has reported in his blog and Baseball America has confirmed with two scouts that Fresno State junior righthander Tanner Scheppers has a stress fracture in his shoulder and will not be able to throw for six weeks. This is obviously a significant blow to the draft stock of a player who had a strong chance to go in the top 10 picks in June, not to mention a crippling blow to Fresno State’s postseason aspirations.

Sheppers will fall in the draft now
which means he’ll still get first round money, but might end up at the bottom of the first round or even later depending on his prognosis. The pool of teams willing to pay him has probably been whittled down to Detroit, NYY, LAA, etc.. the teams who both have money and are not risk averse.

The Angels don’t have a first round pick and the Tigs need bats. I think he ends up in New York whether it be to the east or the west
