OT: Paxton signs for $942K

[luvtheteam]

Nearly seven months after the signing deadline that applies to most draftees, the Mariners finally signed 2010 fourth-round pick James Paxton on March 4. The lefthander received $942,500, the largest bonus Seattle paid any of its 2010 draftees and more than four times MLB's recommended $209,700 payout for the 132nd overall pick

i'm shocked he got that much, he didn't pitch well after he left Kentucky and he was a senior with no leverage. Seattle had to be super impressed to throw out that kind of money.

Another brilliant choice by a Boras advisee. Gave up somewhere in the range of $500k and a year's development in the bargain.

Great. Now I can look forward to never hearing this guy's name again.
