Adenhart signs!
Credit where credit is due: one of Eddie Bane's gambles has paid off. The Angels' 14th-round pick, high-school righthander Nick Adenhart, has signed for a $710,000 signing-bonus ( hat tip: Rob). Yesterday I would have put the odds of Adenhart signing at slim-and-dick, but I guess the money was too much to pass-up.
If you'll recall, Adenhart was the consensus top prep-prospect entering the season, but his stock fell dramatically when he suffered ligament damage in his pitching elbow a month before the draft. Bane rolled the dice and selected Adenhart despite the fact he had accepted a scholarship to play at North Carolina, where he would have certainly regained his first-round status.
Congrats Eddie! You're not a complete fuck-up!
