Thread: Craig Hansen

    Red Sox 2nd Pick- Craig Hansen

    In the days leading up to the draft, the Florida Marlins, with the 22nd overall pick, floated an offer of $2.8 million and an immediate major league callup, which Hansen suggested was insufficient. The Marlins then chose a high school pitcher from Houston, leaving Hansen to fall to the Red Sox at No. 26.


    The Sox now know it will take somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 million and a major-league contact to land Hansen. The club has never offered a major-league deal to a draft pick, but understands one will probably be necessary to get the power reliever signed.

    It's not him that's the cocky shithead, it's Boras.

    But the cocky little shithead knew what he was doing when he decided to have Boras represent him.

    Yeah he knew he'd be getting an agent that would net him the most money. But it's not him who decided the Marlins offer was insufficient, it was Boras.

    If the Sox convert him into a starter a la Papelbon, they're just going to throw an assload of money at him so that a minor league deal is sufficient. If they see him as a closer, they'll give him the major league deal and around $3.5 million.

    By the way, a major league deal doesn't mean that he has to be an active member of the team. It just means that he has to be on the 40-man roster and could be in Pawtucket, Portland, Wilmington or anywhere.

    good luck with this kid guys, hes been dynamite all year down here and very hyped up in days prior to the draft, ur lucky he stuck around....the reason is probably Boras, the other teams didnt want a repeat of Jared Weaver/Stephen Drew all over again....anway, good luck signing him....he should be fun to watch

    Exciting stuff, but time to be an administrator.

    1. Moving to the minor league forum.
    2. 26 to 6, please shorten your sig. We try to keep things to a 4 line maximum here, and it gets kind of ridiculous when signatures extend past the actual post. Thanks.

    26 to 6 - that game in your sig was 5 years ago. As was the last time the Yankees won a world series. Sorry, couldn't resist.

    26 to 6, you numbnuts, I'd much rather take the following win from last October than some meaningless win five years ago:

    Brad Lidge the 2nd is in our hands, so I think we should get him signed.

    If he stays a closer, he will turn into Brad Lidge. But, they are seriously considering making him a starter, which I believe they should at least attempt.
