Stegal picking Queens over South Beach?
Just swiped this from the news feed. Looks like Daniel Stegal might have decided that $100 grand plus college money beats picking on Wake Forest DBs.
Stegall, who was the Mets' first position player taken, was unavailable for comment, but on Wednesday he told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette: "I haven't talked to [Miami ] yet, but if the bonus is what I expect it to be, I'm going."
From what I've read about this guy, he sounds like a stud. From The Metropolitans:
"He struck out 89 in 53 innings with a 1.63 ERA while topping out at 93 mph with his fastball. For good measure he hit .562 and had a 3.91 GPA."
We were supposed to lose him to the Seventh Floor Crew - if he comes to New York instead, our draft just got quite a bit better.

makes sense for the kid
Here he gets some cash up front, goes to college, and doesn't get some 300 lb throwback trying to paralyze him every single down.
