Scheppers injured

http://draft.mlblogs.com/archives/2008/05/tanner_scheppers_injury_update.html

 

According to Johnathan Mayo, Scheppers has a stress fracture in his shoulder, which will keep him out for 6 weeks.  I'm wondering how much this will hurt his draft stock.  Does this drop him out of the top 10?  Out of the top 20?  Out of the first round altogether?  I don't know much about this kind of injury, but it seems like the type of injury that could cause him to slide.  Bad luck for Scheppers to get injured at this time, but it could be good luck for a team lower in the draft that is willing to take on the risk by drafting him when they wouldn't have had a chance to otherwise..

RE

stress fracture is alot different than rotator cuff or elbow ligaments..i doubt he drops out of the top 15 as a result..your right though, i bet some teams are in play now, and they are happy to take him with a stress fracture. considering most guys dont play till after the august 15 date, 2 months after the draft…its not a big deal.
