In my opinion, this does not bode well for this draft.
The fact that the Astros reduced their offer to a reported $5mil suggest they have evidence of an injury. MLB will not allow the Astros the compensation pick next year simply on their "we think he is hurt" words - they will have to show evidence. So I feel pretty certain that they will be justified in their actions.
However, if the astros don't sign Aiken, they don't get that pool money to spread to nix and Marshall. So I'm not sure if they sign anyone. Maybe Nix, if he is willing to sign for a little below slot.
The report that the astros have reduced the offer to the minimal needed to gain the compensation pick next draft suggest to me a last ditch effort to scare Aiken's camp. Hopefully the astros really haven't thrown in the towel and are hoping he comes back with the "awww, ok guys, I'll take the 5 milly".
But right now, I don't think we get him.

This guy has a good point

? I said it on last night's thread.
Aiken’s camp has leaked everything. They have not given the Astros permission to state their medical concerns because they might lose their public relation’s advantage. Rosenthal’s comments about Close being a class guy rings hollow because Close is putting everything out on the Closeline he can to sway public opinion. As I said earlier, the entourage is panicking because the cash cow is not producing enough milk to feed all the ravenous calves. Everybody on Aiken’s side is acting like a high schooler’s parent. Oh, that’s right, they are.
If you think that the Astros are messing with your baby to save money, why don’t you sign that form that lets the Astros state their case and let’s see what they have and let’s see what’s fair and what’s not fair.
