Here is an article on the Tampa Bay Rays web site and I was wondering any of you guys new anything about this kid .I was curious if there are any rumors in the
rumor mill regarding his plans to attend AU or bolt for a chance @ the bigs . This kid was rumored to be a top 10 in the draft before surgery .
Comments: Bailey was thought of as one of the better high school catchers in a Draft class that has some depth in that area, but Tommy John surgery on his right elbow put his future somewhat in doubt. When healthy, he's a solid, not spectacular, catch-and-throw guy. At the plate, he's got good bat speed and plus power potential. He could head to Auburn and rehab there, but a team could decide to take a chance on him, knowing the success of the surgery these days, and work to get him back in form within its system.
