They pass on a big offer early, and each year the offer gets worse and worse. Hasn’t this happened with other prospects before?

He's been written up so much and will continue to be written up b/c of his ace stuff. That can easily BACKFIRE on him if he loses any velocity , suffers an arm injury, etc.. Its happened before! Be smart Cole. Negotiate hard and Sign on the dotted line. If Cole goes to college … he’s rolling the dice BIG TIME. And that’s simply not smart.

Yankees give up on Cole, look towards signing other prospects, Boras goes OK take the deal on the table. Who blinks first? I bet this is a purposeful media leak to offset Boras.

He will not get that much more money in 3 yrs then he is getting now. Also he is 1 pitch away from blowing a shoulder or elbow and never pitching again. Why I would never want that to happen to the kid, HS pitchers should sign if they are drafted in the 1st round. I do think that this is posturing by Boris. BA had said that he was going to sign, Damon O had told Lane at nomass that they were all still working towards signing. He didn't seem to think that any of them was guranteed but didn't appear too concerned. If cole is going to college it’s a huge mistake.
