He's quoted in the Knoxville News-Sentinel this morning as saying that he's leaning towards signing with the Twins. He expects to be playing rookie ball in Florida in 3 weeks.

 

Honestly, that seems to be the right decision for him. The money is just too great to turn down, and he will get an education annuity as a part of his contract.

 

It's a win/win for him and the Twins.

gradfromthenest... this is the first time i strongly disagree with you... your statement put me over the edge and forced me to buy a star for $12.... this is not an attack but why would you turn down 1-1.5 mil to go to college... think about this... it has been his dream his whole life to play pro baseball and he is getting the chance and making a lot of money... he can always go back and get an education if it doesnt work out. Most people go to college to learn and train for a job, but in his case, he is getting that job so why should he go to vandy... i understand if he wasnt getting much of a signing bonus but he is..... let me say this again... it is not an attack on you. it is just the completely opposite opinion..

the south doyle fans must have been right when they were talking about kyle being no good and kirkland was better... he only went 48 rounds before him..
