What's the point in drafting him? Just to say we drafted him? At least make a point of trying to sign him. Like last year with meyer they offered 2million and Boras turned it down and he went to Kentucky. I can't beef with that, but to do nothing you just pissed away a 6th.
B) Who said they didn't try to sign him, or aren't going to make one last run at him? I'm not saying I think there's any chance they're successful in signing him, but I'm just saying, we have no idea what the actual discussions between team and player were.
