SAN FRANCISCO - Stephen Drew?s time with the Diamondbacks may be over before it began. The D-Backs presented 2004 No. 1 draft choice Drew with what managing partner Ken Kendrick characterized as an "eminently fair?? final offer April 13, and Kendrick said Wednesday he believes it likely that Drew will walk the same path taken by brother J.D. Drew in 1997 and reenter the draft this June.

 

"If I were making a prediction, I think it is unlikely he will sign,?? Kendrick said Wednesday. "We haven?t ended discussions, other than they have our final offer.??

 

Drew signed with the Camden Riversharks of the independent Atlantic League on Wednesday, although he remains the D-Backs? property until May 31, the week before the 2005 draft.

 

The D-Backs are believed to have offered Drew a $7.5 million deal, with $5.5 million guaranteed, which would make Drew the richest member of the 2004 draft class. Tampa Bay committed $5.2 million to Rice right-hander Jeff Niemann, the highest so far.

 

Drew and Angels draftee Jared Weaver are the only 2004 picks unsigned. Both are represented by Scott Boras, who did not immediately return a phone call Wednesday.

 

Stephen is just like his brother JD..... and both Drew and Weaver have Boras as an agent... no wonder

 

if they drop to the Fish this year, think we bite?

If they fall to the supplemental first round I'd say why not take a chance, because we already have so many picks. I don't think we should use our 1st or 2nd picks on risks though.

I thought any Boras/Marlins agreement will never happen again.

The Dodgers should draft them both...maybe they would take less $$$ to play with their brothers!
