Kelly says he'll 'probably be wearing Red Sox uniform'

By Dave Hooker (Contact)

Casey Kelly didn’t need to think long Thursday about his future athletic career once the Boston Red Sox selected him with the 30th overall pick in the first round of baseball’s amateur draft.

“They picked me in the first round so I’ll probably be wearing a Red Sox uniform,” the Sarasota (Fla.) High School star said just minutes after the pick was announced.

Kelly said Boston has already told his family that it is comfortable with a set of financial parameters that was floated to baseball executives before the draft.

“They knew the price was going to be a little higher because of football,” the 6-foot-2, 190-pound Kelly said.

Kelly signed with Tennessee to play quarterback in February. Barring an unforeseen snag in the negotiations, his arrival in Knoxville seems very unlikely.

A possible snag could arise from Kelly’s future position, claimed Pat Kelly, Casey’s father and a minor league manager.

“They (the Red Sox) like him better as a pitcher but they want to give him a chance to play shortstop,” Pat Kelly said. “He doesn’t want to pitch. I think that’s going to be a big part of the negotiations.”

The Red Sox believe his talent was too good to pass up.

“You can hear the passion in his voice when he talks about baseball,” Boston general manager Theo Epstein told the Associated Press. “We wouldn’t have taken him if we didn’t feel in our hearts like he wanted to go out and play professional ball.”

Kelly hit .473 with five homers and 31 RBIs this season. The right-hander also pitched in 12 games, going 8-1 with a 1.16 ERA and two saves. He had 77 strikeouts and 12 walks in 66 innings.

Jason McLeod, Boston’s director of amateur scouting, told the AP that Kelly will wind up a pitcher rather than a shortstop.

“We’re talking about one of the better athletes in the draft,” McLeod said. “He could move quick through the minor league system if we can get him signed.”

The Kellys gambled by floating out the necessary financial parameters before the draft. Teams that couldn’t afford Kelly wouldn’t consider picking him. That’s why the Red Sox and New York Yankees, with the two highest payrolls in the majors, were considered two of Kelly’s most likely candidates.

Kelly worked out for the Yankees on Wednesday, but New York selected right-handed pitcher Gerrit Cole from Lutheran High in Orange, Calif., with the 28th pick.

Kelly was sliding down the draft board until being picked with the last pick of the first round. Kelly was projected by various media to fall in one of three spots in the first round: No. 7 to the Cincinnati Reds, No. 19 to the Chicago Cubs or No. 21 to the Detroit Tigers.

But instead of choosing Kelly, those three clubs decided to pick college prospects.

The Reds picked first baseman Yonder Alonso from Miami. The Cubs chose right-handed pitcher Andrew Cashner from Texas Christian. The Tigers selected right-handed pitcher Ryan Perry from Arizona.

“I think that’s probably why he slipped,” Pat Kelly said, referring to the family’s financial requests. “He feels like he should be compensated if he does give up football.”

Perhaps negotiating via the media, Pat Kelly claimed football is still a possibility.

“I don’t think he’s going to be an easy sign,” he said. “I don’t think a lot of people realize how serious he is about football.”

Pat Kelly said he’s not concerned with MLB’s Aug. 15 deadline to sign players drafted on Thursday. Instead, Pat Kelly said he wants a contract signed before July. Otherwise, his son could enroll at UT for the second session of summer school.

That seems unlikely. Once a player enrolls in college, he cannot sign a professional baseball contract for three years. However, the threat of playing football at UT is at least leverage for the Kellys as they negotiate with the Red Sox.

An excited Casey Kelly wasn’t worried about leverage as friends and family celebrated around him as he spoke via telephone to the News Sentinel.

Kelly just seemed ready to begin his baseball career as soon as possible. That can begin once he signs that professional contract.

“Hopefully,” Kelly said, “we can get it done soon.”

Kelly’s omission from the 2008 class creates a void at quarterback. Expect UT to try to land a high-profile quarterback, if not two, for the 2009 class.

Getting Bully: Offensive lineman Alex Bullard from Brentwood Academy will announce his college decision on Friday at an 11 a.m. EDT.

The 6-foot-4, 275-pounder is considering UT, Alabama, Michigan, Notre Dame and Oklahoma.

If CK could play point guard, he could be field/floor general for each of the Big 3 sports at UT.

Because I am unaware of how baseball drafts work, could it be the case that Kelly signs with UT - plays football and baseball for a year - and then is drafted in the first round of the MLB draft next year?

No, he has to stay 3 years if I remember correctly. Seems like that was the deal with Luke Hochevar and James Adkins.

A player must be 18 or if he chooses to go to college he must be 21 years old. Which is usually after the junior year of college. So if a player is good enough he can get drafted out of high school at age 18. If he dicides to go to college he must wait until he turns 21 to get drafted again.

My apologies. Hunter is correct. If you attend a 4 year university, then you have to stay 3 years or turn 21. If you go to Junior college, you can make the leap whenever.

Once Casey Kelly attends his first class at Tennessee, assuming he does not sign to play baseball before that, he cannot sign to play professional baseball until after his junior year at Tennessee. In theory, he could sign now and play baseball and still go to Tennessee. However, I would expect that if this was to happen that Boston would put a clause in his contract to forbid him playing college football.

Going this late in the first round makes me believe that he will be at Tennessee for at least the next 3 years.

I believe if you go the JUCO route, you must stay 2 years. If you transfer to a 4 year school after one or two years, you now must wait until 3 years after you graduate high school

He said it was all about getting drafted by the right team. I would say that the Red Sox is a great organization to get drafted by. I wonder how this will impact his decision as well as slipping to 30th pick and how that will effect his gauranteed money.

yemmusdarb-You are exactly right. He might be a good QB, but many more are out there and are more likely to pick UT if Kelly is not on the roster. I think he used football as a bargaining chip. If he did, it might have backfired. Get a stud DT and forget about him.

No surprise here about Casey Kelly. I say take the money now. Lots can happen in three years like injury, ineffectiveness at the college level, or a potential rookie salary cap. (Not sure when MLB's collective bargaining agreement ends, but I see all the major sports implementing a rookie cap in the not-too-distant future.) Good luck Casey.

I've covered junior college baseball for several years and yes, a junior college player can be drafted after their freshman and sophomore years. An example of that is a kid named Ryan Chaffee from Niceville, Fla., he was drafted in the 43rd round by the Braves after his freshman year, and then in the second round by the Angels this year. Hopefully the kid will sign with the Angels as he has signed with LSU.

If Kelly were to attend UT and not play football the eligibility clock would start ticking any way. The NCAA requires a player complete his four years of athletic eligibility in any sport in five years. That's why Stanley Asumu (sp) only had one year of football eligibility after finishing his basketball career with the Vols.

And once again, the real fools show there colors by taking pot shots at our head football coach.

I think this works out to our advantage. Top QB recruits who want to have an NFL future and not go to a place running spread offense ought to see UT as a good prospect with very little competition at QB. Too bad there aren't any more Mannings, but thank God there aren't any more Clausens either!

Good luck to Kelly from a lifelong Red Sox fan. If he is as good as advertised, he should have a good chance to move up quickly at shortstop. The position has been a revolving door for the team for several years and Lugo has been downright brutal this year. In addition, the life expectancy in a pro baseball career is much longer than football.

Suprised he isn't getting bashed for this comment however: “They knew the price was going to be a little higher because of football,” the 6-foot-2, 190-pound Kelly said. Personally, I can't blame him a bit for playing the football scholarship angle.

UT is a great spot for a blue-chip football star. But being drafted by the Red Sox -- there's not a better organization in MLB right now -- is as good as it gets for a young player coming into the league. Hard to argue his decision.

While this trip is business...it is also pleasure. My wife and I headed up to Santa Barbara yesterday and had a great time. While there I consulted a renowned psychic about the future of Tennessee football and when we will win another National Championship if we continue to stay the course. The answer is below. However, one thing is for sure. In California, when referring to thongs, it is not about a word misspoken by someone with a minor speech impediment referring to some lyrical musing. No. It is in fact about a fitness display of the glutues maximus in extreme exposure and well defined display. Anyway...the future was predicted as follows:

It seems like it was a calculated risk to me TJ. He goes low in the draft and stays, they have a good prospect for the future. He goes high and the draft and leaves, it wasn't like QB was a major position of need at this point in time with Crompton getting the keys and Coleman and Stephens on campus anyway. I can't recall them going after any other QB's and losing them due to Kelly signing with the exception of that fireballer that went to Duke with Cutcliffe. They took plenty of shots to the chops last year in recruiting but this really wasn't one IMO.

Agreed General TDTN Fritter SIR. After a quick start, recruiting went down the tubes with the staff turnover and the bad publicity from the blowout losses. I figure it was worth a shot in signing Kelly anyway, it's not like they turned away a DT prospect to sign him, all those went to AL.

The jury is still out on if Kelly will sign with Boston. Yes, they have the big bucks to meet his demands, but stories I'm reading say the Red Sox still want him as a pitcher more than a shortstop. I hope they keep pushing the pitcher idea and he could end up in the Orange this fall.

VolnDothan, I disagree with you about Helton stinking at quarterback. First, he wasn't bigger than Kelly even if Kelly is only 6-2 instead of 6-4 like some people are reporting. But back to the question of Helton as a quarterback. He was behind Heath Shuler two years and hardly played. He was slated to back up Jerry Colquitt his (Helton's) junior year, which was also Peyton's freshman year. When Colquitt got hurt against UCLA in the opener Helton became the starter and was more than adequate. I don't recall his numbers, but I know he had a nice win over Georgia and threw one of the meanest blocks a QB has ever thrown for the Vols. His season ended when he had a badly twisted knee or ankle around the fifth or sixth game.

By that time Peyton and Brandon Stewart were up to speed enough as true freshmen to run the show. Everyone knows the rest of that story.

UT has had great success with some pretty good quarterback/baseball players. Holloway, Cockrell and (Randy) Wallace all started at least two years at quarterback while splitting time on the diamond.

It isn't an easy task, but the right kid can do it.

Posted by leedsvol2007 on June 7, 2008 at 1:15 p.m. (Suggest removal)

The thing is not to write him off even if he signs with Boston.

As we have seen with Kelly Washington, Josh Booty, Faison, Chris Weinke, and Quincy Carter among others just because you sign a baseball contract as a great prospect does not necessarily mean you will pan out.

Baseball if you are successful pays a lot more money over time. Who could blame him for taking the money.

If he doesn't pan out he could still end up playing for the Vols.
