Draft Report: Spring Helium Alert

Maybe the second time will be the charm.

A year ago, Tanner Scheppers looked like a sure-fire first-rounder, a guy who had a lot of buzz coming out of Fresno State. Then he hurt his shoulder and was shut down, causing him to slip to the second round. The Pirates drafted him, but were unable to sign him. He didn't go back to school and instead signed with the independent St. Paul Saints and will be available to be redrafted this June. Along with Aaron Crow, who joined the Fort Worth Cats, another independent Minor League team, after not signing with the Nationals, Scheppers is one of the more intriguing arms in the Draft class.
