MASH: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bb/7046494.html Not a surprise. I expect Andrew Morris to follow. Read in the Houston paper where Zach Cox of Arky was asking for a $6,000,000 dollar signing bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish him luck and sorry he will miss the AU experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,643 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 That stinks.... I was hoping with him being drafted so late that he would come to Auburn and try and up his stock The baseball draft is tricky. They sometimes lay off players that they think might go to college and draft them late, not wanting to risk wasting a high draft pick. Then they draft them lower, turn around and offer money comparable to a much higher pick. Bryce Lane was one of our top signees, I was hoping he'd come to Auburn but his accomplishments in JUCO made that doubtful. PS: Just found this quote from Bryce Lane: " So I actually signed way out of slot. I actually got 15th round money. The money, like I said, wasn't an issue anyways. I wanted to go play. I'm not going to let money stop my dream." So, drafted in the 41st round, he got 15th round money. For the entire interview check out Andy Bitter's blogspot: http://wareagleextra.blogspot.com/ Nice insight into a player's thinking about the situation.
