In Baseball America's latest projection, Kirby goes 33rd overall (during the first compensation round) by the Royals. BA has him 26th in their list of the top prospects, and Joe McCarthy at 46th.

Sports Illustrated has Kirby going 35th, noting "Kirby was a potential top-10 selection prior to the spring but has been hounded by injuries that impacted his command and stuff before he was shut down after 10 starts."  MLB.com ranks Kirby 26th overall.

The MLB slot value for signing bonuses awarded to a draft pick in the 30 to 35 range is about $1.7 to $1.9 million.

In more pressing Virginia baseball news, Brian O'Connor announced that Kirby will be available to pitch at the College World Series in Omaha this weekend.
