    We've got so many highly ranked players already I don't really know how we're going to sign what we have.

    It's the 24th round. Not much lost if he doesn't sign.

    Yes. It's just a longshot gamble that maybe some circumstances change and the Mets have money for him or he decides to skip school.

    Baseball America had him at #494 in their top 500 (Reds took him at #774) and said "McAfee does everything well if nothing eye-popping".

    Does Justin Fall have some sort of rock solid commitment to Arizona State? Seems odd he has not been selected ranked as high as he is.

    A lot more on him in the link

    Same high school, Carl Albert, as Gavin LaValley. They grow 'em big in Midwest City, Oklahoma.

    Dude can mash and doesn't strike out much, 9.13 K%. Takes walks to boot, 13.48 BB%. Oddly, never played in Cape Cod. At the very least, you'd think Warren will be good minor league depth.
