McDaniel also mentioned in his mock that Daz had a positive drug test for marijuana.....

No---read his mock again. The positive drug test was Phil Bickford.

Naperville, IL

This morning I woke up with a message saying the Cubs have had their team doctors meet with Aiken and they've had access to all his medical records. Now the rumors are starting to run that Aiken could be the guy. Honestly, I think he likely is because of his talent level and the fact that this is probably the last shot for the Cubs to land a talent like him.

This is from PSD.  He has talked about knowing scouts and some of his scouting info has been pretty interesting/confirmed later.  He has never put out anything like this before.  I'm not really sure what level of scout would know that the Cubs doctors have met with Aiken, though.

Maybe Aiken will be the pick, who knows, but inevitable that some blogger from Naperville or Peewaukee will claim inside dope while guys with actual legit contacts like BA, Callis, McDaniel, Mayo have no clue. This is the world we now live in. If Aiken is the pick, it will be the random luck of the blind squirrel from Naperville.

Assuming there is nothing medical to worry about other than the typical TJ surgery, I would love to get Aiken if he would sign for about 2 million, leaving 1.5 million for later in the draft.  But I don't think he will sign for such a low sum.

I have zero clue if this correct, if it is it would seem something the Cubs would want to limit the access of information.

The Vanderbilt / Illinois game just started in Champaign.  Tyler Jay on the bump for the Illini.  No score with Illinois batting in the bottom of the 1st with men on first & second with one out.  Game is being televised on ESPN2 and available on espn360.com.

From the wild-ass guess department, I'll go with Aiken.

Oops!  Vandy is the home team in today's Super Regional game in Champaign.  The Illini score one so it's 1-0 Illinois after a half inning of play.

Zander Wiel with the first hit off of Tyler Jay.  An opposite field dinger to right.  First HR allowed by Tyler Jay this season.  Score now tied at 1 with Vandy still batting in the bottom of the 2nd.

I think I'd be the happiest if the Cubs drafted Aiken and paid him a bonus that was slightly over slot. That would indicate to me that the Cubs and their medical staff like his odds for a full recovery from TJS.

Pre-draft jitters for Tyler Jay?  He yields his second HR of the game and only his 2nd of the season.  This time it's to Dansby Swanson. Game now tied at 2 heading into the top of the 5th.

Announcers saying there's a jetstream blowing out of the ballpark.  A factor?

Maybe the fact that he's starting and his velocity is down as a result.

Not on the first HR, he hung a curve and it got clobbered.

Swanson's HR was hit hard to LF and I think the wind is blowing out to RF. Another hanging breaking ball as well. Vanderbilt is slightly better than Big 10 teams, even if the Big 10 was better this year.
