Pedro Alvarez
Potential #1 overall draft pick, Vandy 3B Pedro Alvarez missed some games over the weekend with wrist pain. Well, it turns out he has a fracture in the wrist. BA writeup doesn't say which wrist or which bone. Aren't these usually hamates?

Brignac
Rotoworld reports the Brignac has a hairline fracture in his foot (5th toe), expected to resume playing in about 1 week.

I wonder how far this would drop him

If he does drop precipitously
I say if he even takes a small drop to 5 this year, the Giants should pounce. They can afford the price tag since many gaudy ML contracts are expiring, are in no big rush to contend, and can wait for the wrist to fully recover. The teams picking early cannot risk letting him fall to the Drooling Evils Lurking in the Depths (Tigers, Yankees, Mets, Red Sox) who will send a Brinks truck to his house if he is drafted.

And am I the only one who thinks it's funny that the Tigers are now considered to be on par with Boston and New York? Sure they spend money, but isn't this a team that lost 100 games just like 4 years ago? They had to spend money to get free agents to come to them. But still, most of their pitchers are home grown.

Homegrown?

Bonderman
They traded a SP that they drafted and developed for a kid who pitched one season in the Oakland system. Bonderman's entire development as a professional to this point and forward lay on the shoulders of the Detroit coaching staffs.

He will almost certainly go pro this year
Wrist injuries can be a beech for hitters, esp power hitters, but I really doubt Boras wants to risk sending Alvarez back for a senior year. He will almost certainly, even with the injury this year, get a higher offer this year than next.

Now, maybe is Smoak has an awesome season, he moves ahead of Alvarez. Still, he doesn't make it out of the top 5.
