So do we think Mercado will ever make it to the farm?

My reading of the quotations in this article is that it's not likely.

Beck not drafted was shocking as he was 2nd round on valid mock drafts

My guess, without any knowledge, is that this indicates either that Beck's injury is much worse than we have heard or he has indicated to teams he is planning to return to Stanford ... or both.

gostanford.com says Beck plans to return for his junior year and play with his younger brother!

Tristan Beck
29th Round • Pick #872 • New York Yankees 
Beck, who was a draft-eligible sophomore, missed the 2017 campaign due to injury, but was a first team freshman All-America and All-Pac-12 selection in 2016. The right-hander was just the third Stanford freshman to start on Opening Day, and led all Stanford starters in ERA (2.48) and strikeouts (76). He was also second on the team with six wins and 83.1 innings pitched.

Beck is expected to return for his junior season in 2018, where his younger brother, Brendan, will join the team as a freshman.
