Donavan Tate lacking effort?

Posted Jun 6, 2009
Several MLB scouting experts seem to be enamored with outfielder Donavan Tate, a two-sport star from Cartersville (Ga.), in advance of the June 9 MLB first-year player draft. But ESPN Scouts Inc.'s Keith Law reserves judgment. "The main knock on him in the industry is a perceived lack of effort," he said of No. 17-ranked player and the possible third pick to the San Diego Padres in Law's latest mock draft. "I haven't seen any of that." (ESPN.com)
