Signing deadline is only 9 days away. Which of these 2011 draftees will not sign with their teams by the deadline?
I will go with 5 names who I predict will not sign:
1. Josh Bell--I think it is pretty well known that he will be heading to the University of Texas in the fall.
2. Jackie Bradley, Jr.--I hope I am wrong but I can see him heading back to USC and trying to become a top 10 pick in 2012.
3. Dwight Smith, Jr.--The Blue Jays can't sign all these guys can they?
4. Tyler Beede--I think Tim Corbin convinces him to come to Vanderbilt and that the Jays sign Daniel Norris which makes the need to sign Beede a little less.
5. Dillon Howard--He decides that in 2014 he could be the #1 pick in the draft. (totally just pulled that out of my back-end though)
