Louisiana State head football coach Les Miles seems to think the Dodgers will not be signing their first-round pick Zach Leethis year. In a statement on the LSU football website, Miles said:</p>

"Zach wants to come to LSU, get a degree and play football and baseball for the Tigers. I met with Zach and his parents today and I think that they are looking at LSU as a great opportunity both academically and athletically. Zach is an outstanding student and he's excited about the college experience." </p>

Lee begins summer classes today, though the Dodgers technically have until the August 16th deadline to sign him. Dodgers assistant GM Logan White told Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times on Monday that he's cautiously optimistic about signing Lee and the team did not purposelyselect an unsignable player to save money. ESPN's Keith Law wrote recently that the "rumor of the day had the kid saying $6 million wouldn't get him signed."

not for 6 mil? dubmass. take the money kid. you either end up making even more playing pro ball for a living, or can come back to college, and even play football, in your mid 20s, as a millionaire.</p>

it looks like MLB is about to put a cap on how much these draft picks can sign for in the very near future. I doubt he can really increase his stock that much. He might, but I doubt it with the way the draft culture seems to be headed.

Screw that.
This is one place where the NBA is 100% right. Put in place a sliding scale for salary depending on where the player is drafted.

Forcing crap teams and small market teams to essentially not pick players based on their agent's douchebaggery love for bleeding the team dry is as backwards a policy as i can think of.

about to bring LSU's APR way, way down. He can't be that ignorant. But, if he's hooked up with Les, who knows.
