This next bit really stood out to me as well, "Plummer wouldn't specify how much he is seeking for his client, who has already had a bone graph done per one team's request that verified he is between 16 and 17 years old."

I had never heard of a bone graph before but if this verifies his age then that takes a major risk out. It would make sense if the O's made a serious bid for him because Hobgood may sign for under-slot and we need some high ceiling middle infield prospects.
