He's gone. All but confirmed it on twitter.

Thanks for everything, 14. One of the best closers in SEC history.

Damn. I thought he'd be back.

So much for all the sixpack experts who said MLB wouldn't want him.

Congrats and best of luck to him.

I'll sack up and admit I said he'd be drafted and not sign. I know a degree was something important to him and his family, but 6th is too good to pass up. Especially with a weak Yankees bullpen.
