He wanted to get paid for projectability. Sox wanted to pay for performance. He had a relatively crummy Jr year, so there was some concern, and there was no need to go as high as he was asking with one college and one HS 1B with projectable power already signed. He had a great year, so it paid off for him. That happens a lot.
