Son received one of those today...

Can't remember everyone's advice on what to say in response to the question: Are you considering professional baseball at this time. If drafted would you sign?

Thoughts?

I think your son's situation is unique and wonderfully so. Terrific player and one of the top academic achievers nationally. I don't think too many scouts are going to miss that no matter what you say. If he would "consider" foregoing or delaying Princeton for the right offer and draft position, that could be said effectively. From what little experience we have, that all but rules out the "small market teams" but not a few of the others.

Ask the question in the draft forum.

If you are not interested in pro ball at this time, just say so. Or you could always leave it blank or say "I don't know".
