But it just came down to wanting to play, wanting to get after it now.”<< >>UConn thought it had a pretty good chance to land the 6-foot-2, 183-pound right-hander, but things changed when the Pirates weren’t able to sign first-round pick Gunnar Hoglund. The team turned its focus on Burrows and signed him for about $375,000 more than his 11th-round slot value, since any money saved in the top 10 rounds can be used toward later picks. With a half-million in the bank (plus another $140,000 should he decide to get a college degree), Burrows’ decision was made a lot easier.<< [/QUOTE]
