Congrats Mark.. Thats got to be very exciting. Is Mooneyham unsignable? It's hard to imagine him falling all the way to the 15 round.

word on the street is he is asking for close to $2,000,000
his advisor is Super Agent Scott Boras (same agent that represents A-Rod and most of the other Superstars)
he is a considered a tough sign because he has a full ride to Stanford (?? $300,000 for 4 years??)
many teams wont risk losing a 1st or 2nd round talent in those rounds if they think he wont sign for a reasonable amount and would just assume take a chance on another player that will sign for less....but teams would love to get him at or near the 15th round where if they sign him its like getting a 2nd rounder in the 15th round and if they dont sign him they didnt lose a premium pick......
