Hoffman Has Tommy John Surgery

[dreadpirateroberts]

Potential No. 1 overall pick Jeff Hoffman will have season-ending Tommy John surgery next week. Hoffman, who was shut down with what was called arm soreness for the past two weeks, will have the procedure performed by Dr. James Andrews, leaving the East Carolina right-hander's draft status very much up in the air. When the amateur season began, many saw Hoffman, ranked No. 4 on the top 100 Draft prospects list, as a potential top-of-the-draft selection, one who might challenge North Carolina State lefty Carlos Rodon for the honor of being the top pick on June 5. News of Hoffman's impending surgery will make it even more difficult for teams to figure out what to do. In my opinion, the Cubs need to stay away. Thoughts? Opinions?

Eh I wouldn't mind rolling the dice on him in the second round, but he likely goes earlier than that.

Agree would seem likely that he goes in the supplemental round like Manaea went. Does Toronto have a pick there because with their two top 10 first round picks they probably have the ability to pay him if he drops into that range.

Like the "MIDAS" team that they are, he will probably go to the Cardinals and become a TOR pitcher.

I think Hoffman goes to the Blue Jays or the Royals, essentially you're going to have to give him around 3MM I think.
