    Exactly, very few minor league pitchers he is gonna face throws 82. I think the Red Sox overpaid thinking just maybe he could eventually turn into something besides the power. We shall see...

    Go Pro and several now bring up their perceived faults of him. I?m happy a young man gets the opportunity. He has options now if the pro game doesn?t work out. He is 17 with a potential to make a living most could only dream about. You don?t gamble on going to college with this money. And as great as we are in baseball he is still being coached by the team that drafted him

    Exactly. With the cost of college these days I wouldn?t think twice about it. Who knows what could happen to him in 3 years. He could be a stud or a dud. There?s no guarantee. He is a 17 year old with 1.75 mill presented to him. With the 11.7, 3 years of school is guaranteed to put him 50-100k in debt. And what if he happened to slip? A 20-30th round signing bonus is never going to be able to recoup that.
