Message: [QUOTE="Yonick, post: 992217, member: 268"] According to Baseball America's website, Risedorf hasn't signed yet. Unfortunately, for UConn, Gorgas has signed for slot money. I'm a bit surprised someone would pass up on an education at UConn for a pre tax amount of $100,000. He will wallow in the low minors for 2-3 years. The chances of eventually making it for 13th round picks is slim. Had he gone to UConn not only does he get an education, but in 3 years, if he does well enough, he could have signed for big bucks, a la Springer, Barnes, Olt, Ahmed etc. Sometimes these kids do not get great advice.
