SIGNED QB Bubba Starling

Keith Law and Jason Churchill of ESPN state that Bubba has a chance to be the number one player taken in the MLB draft and have him rated number four in their top 50 for the draft. It depends how the baseball season shakes out and whether Uber number one Anthony Rendon of Rice bounces back from his injury.

It's paid info otherwise I would provide a link....

@jeremycrabtree If he chose baseball over football, Bubba Starling could be the top pick in the MLB Draft.

 
Wow, he appears to have great control on the mound with that few base on balls. Is this an indication of his potential of being an accurate passer?

Since Bubba says he would be challenging Martinez for the starting job that doesn't look like he would be spending much time at the WR position during fall camp. Maybe he'll be content being second on the depth chart if he doesn't win out.

He'll be more content accepting that $5-7 million signing bonus in the MLB draft.

 
New Bubba article. It says he's currently leaning toward college, but his dad did lose his job and is unemployed. He wants to play for the Royals ... who have the 5th pick. This should be very interesting. Good luck with the huge decision!

I just can't see how you do not choose the contract, assuming its for that 5-7 million. Not signing would be like holding a winning lotto ticket out the window while driving 80 for 4-5 years.

You can ALWAYS go back to school. Heck I started my Masters after being out of school for 10 years.

Besides, can't he go pro and IF he didnt do well, come back and play football in college later? Thats what a few guys have done in the past.

 
ESPN's minor league guru rated Starling the #5 prospect in the Royal's farm system. Not bad for a group that is well-regarded and the first on the Royal's list not in the Top 100 overall. However, the write-up leaves a less-than-rosy picture. He was listed as the "bad news" for Royals fans and stated that he was "miserable" before undergoing LASIK surgery last summer and wasn't a lot better after that. Many think his swing is not smooth enough and he misses a lot of pitches.

Forgot he was the #5 overall pick. Harrison will likely be well down from that. Perhaps Harrison will be catching passing from Starling in a couple year.
