The rumors I heard is that Todd will stay in Billings till the end of July so he can get into "playing condition" and get live swings in and then be moved up to "A" ball with the Dayton Dragons come August.
Wasn't he a first round pick. Don't they usually get more money than 825k.
He was a supplemental pick, technically a first rounder. Anyway..that's what he got.
Congrats to Todd he has been such proud act to follow from the shore.
I saw the article today on Val majeski(sp) He was one of the finest players at the shore in my opinion. He could swing it catch it throw it and played with a such a posative attiutde I sure hope he makes back to the show. Love to see all the shore confernce players in the bigs do well
RE: Signing Bonus
The 34th pick of last years draft got a 900K signing bonus, so it really depends on what team drafts you. Dont forget, Todd took a month off to spend time with his family and friends... which also probably hurt him money-wise
Anyways, I guess we will see how he will adjust to the wooden bat.
Todd is one of the hardest working kids that I ever seen play the game, I'm sure he has a ton of motivation to prove all 'experts' wrong that believe he is too big and too slow to play shortstop at the next level
1st game as a pro: Frazier 2-4 with a RBI. Good start to his career.
