Very interesting article on why it increased Scott Boras' leverage to get Rick Porcello a huge deal by having him slip in the draft to the 27th spot. The article also shows why teams were D-U-M-B to not select Porcello with a pick commensurate to his abilities. They'd have had more leverage to get him at a lower price and, of course, would have had perhaps the best player in the entire draft.
