WR Monte Harrison

MLB Network guys saying Montes advisor put it a big number to sign him using football as leverage.

 
Good news is a small market team like the brewers probably won't be willing to pay fines to pay him higher than his slot. He's also their third pick, so we can hope the first two negotiate for more than their slots, leaving less for Monte.

In all likelihood though, he'll have a choice between (roughly) a million dollar signing bonus and going to school. I don't love our odds, though they are better than what most people were predicting.

 
Will be interesting to see if they try to push for more money with the threat of formal and claiming he was drafted lower than he should have gone.

 
@AdamMcCalvy: #Brewers scouting director Bruce Seid concedes Monte Harrison could be a tough sign, but they'll give it a shot.

 
I think one of the biggest differences between Harrison and Starling is that Starling didn't have a favorite sport, but in one of the articles by the world herald clearly stated that his first love is Baseball. Now he could decide to try his hand in 3 years, but I have a feeling he's been gone for a while and that's one of the main reasons we went after Stringfellow.
