Ricky Porcello constiderred by many the second pick in the draft but "unsignable" with Scott Boras as his angent a josh beckett like talent slipped to the tigers at pick number 27

The scouting report from Baseball America says:

He's long, lean, athletic and projectable with a clean delivery. His fastball sits at 93-95, touching 98. He holds his velocity deep into outings. He throws a tight curveball at 74-76 and a harder, sharp-breaking slider at 80-82. He shows feel for his changeup. He can spot his fastball to both sides of the plate, and mixes his pitches effectively. He tends to finish his delivery across his body, and if he improved his extension, his stuff could have better life, which would make him profile as a true top-of-the-rotation pitcher. He still is likely to be the first high school pitcher selected.

If the Tigers can sign him, they have a steal. Of course it will be tough to do so, especially if the kid is thinking about going to college.

Well with how bad the Tigers pitching has been they need him. I sure hope they can sign him.
