Devon spoke with JT and if he is drafted in a position to get the money he desires, he will sign a contract to play baseball.

Part of me hopes he does really well for himself in the baseball draft, as the money seems to flow like Buckyle's wine  in that sport moreso than football. The other part of me certainly does not wish ill on the guy as far as his overall fortunes go, but wouldn't mind seeing him succeed in a silver bullet helmet. This guy can't lose, good luck Devon! Buckeye forever, no doubt. |

Baseball notebook: OSU football recruit likely to be picked in draft
Thursday, June 7, 2007 3:40 AM
From staff and wire reports
It's not likely that Devon Torrence will turn his back on an Ohio State football scholarship, but coach Jim Tressel could be a bit nervous today, anyway. Torrence, a Canton defensive back who signed a letter of intent with OSU in February, probably will be picked in the Major League Baseball draft, which begins today in Orlando, Fla.

That article makes it sound like he's going to be a Buckeye. Torrence is probably hoping for 2nd-3rd round money to make it a tough choice, with the other articles projecting him as round 5 at the very best.
I noticed one scout list him as a 5-tool player, but he is not listed as hitting any homers this season. I don't see anyone going too high for him if he's not much of a power threat.

I'd be surprised if he goes that baseball route. It doesn't even matter so much where he goes but if some team offers Devon higher than slot money. So this will probably draw out, some chicken littles on BN will whine, and Torrence will report to Columbus in August.
