Carter Stewart signs with a team
He is signing with the Fukowa SoftBank Hawks of the Japanese League. I'm not joking. He went JUCO and his stock dropped and now instead of signing with the team he grew up pulling for he is going overseas. Whoever is advising this kid should be shot.

I just saw that. Any idea what his JUCO starts we're like?
ETA - they were pretty good - http://www.efsctitans.com/sports/bsb...w=career&pos=p
Makes it more bizarre that he is going to Japan.

Sad to think what could have been...
-
Is he actually signing, or is this leverage for the draft? All I saw was he had agreed to a deal with the Japs, I didn't see that pen met paper.
Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

Quit Your Bi$&$&?!, He's Not Going to Run the Ball More

Kid should've taken the braves offer. I'm glad he didn't... his stock has crashed
-
surely he would wait for the draft right?
-
Can't you get paid a lot of money if you are an American in the Japanese league? That's what I've always heard.

A lot of overseas leagues will overpay for aging american stars. I suspect Japan is one of the better paying foreign baseball leagues, but I doubt he gets paid extra just for being an American when he hasn't established a name for himself. But I dont' know; maybe it generates some buzz for them to claim they signed a first round draft pick.

I'm starting to think those arm issues that scared the Braves off might still be an issue.

Wrist issues

I doubt any of us would turn down a chance to travel the world and get paid for playing baseball.

Naw. MLB was about to offer him less than what the Braves were. His stock was dropping.

That?s the rumor of what he is seeking not what is agreed. And no way of knowing how much is structured as a bonus, that?s not going to be guaranteed salary
-
So was there any chance at any point that he was coming to MSU or were we just the MLB leverage the entire time? Kind of like Lebron signing with Ohio St, there was always zero chance from his 9th grade year on that he wasn't going straight to the NBA.

Did he not pitch well at JUCO or did scouts see something they didn't like?
