Donavan Tate MLB Draft Status Update
Posted May 31, 2009
To give you an idea of what kind of athlete Donavan Tate is, he's ranked in the top 100 high schoolers in both baseball and football. His dad, Lars, played in the NFL, and he's signed to go to University of North Carolina to play two sports. There's some split about what kind of hitter Tate might be, but he'd still be ranked by most as the top prep position player in the class. Perhaps filling a greater role in his draft status are the facts that he's advised by Scott Boras and that it's largely believed it's going to take a large above-slot bonus to sign him away from playing two sports in Chapel Hill.
