$150K is a lot to a young kid with an uncertain future giving up a free ride education.
I wonder where he'll be ranked in our system. After Kopech or Travis?
Hudson Belinsky @hudsonbelinsky
Nick Quintana (11th rd/Red Sox) and Zack Smith (15th rd/Indians) will not sign. Quintana is committed to Arizona, Smith to UNC Charlotte.
After I saw what Groome signed for I was optimistic we would have enough money to sign Quintana, I did not forsee Dabec going so much overslot. Oh well, this draft was really all about Groome.

Groome ended up being cheaper than a worse pitcher.
$150K is what many Americans make in 10 or more years.
Most Draft sites I've seen have the Sox taking Keston Hiura 2B/OF at 24.
mymlbdraft has Hiura going at #22 and the Sox taking Evan White 1B Kentucky (6-3 / 177 lbs)
