Comments on: What is Josh Bell Worth? http://www.piratesprospects.com/2011/08/what-is-josh-bell-worth.html Wed, 19 Jun 2013 06:12:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Anonymous http://www.piratesprospects.com/2011/08/what-is-josh-bell-worth.html#comment-8755 Anonymous Mon, 15 Aug 2011 02:03:00 +0000 http://www.piratesprospects.com/?p=18145#comment-8755 Good article Tim…..My personal opinion is, if he rejects $4.5 mil then let him go and take the pick in next years draft. That would give us at least 3 picks in the top 2 rounds(free agent compensation picks possible) in a draft that will probably have a hard slotting system in place. I looked at it this way from the door: It’s a win win situation. Either you get him or you get 2 picks in the 2nd round next year….

I cannot think of many people that would say they would take “the college experience” over $4.5m, especially when the team would probably also give Bell 5 years of college ON TOP of that.

Just sayin’…

Do the baseball reporters really believe he turns down the money to go to college?  There was no more a ridiculous rumor this summer than the one that said Bell may not even sign for $10 million. Really?  Really?!  Boras always throws out crazy high #s for possible contracts with his players.  Why?  Because every now and then a GM talks themselves into a $100 million for Barry Zito.  All the #s for Bell coming from unnamed sources is just really Boras feeding those reporters the cited #.  Boras is controlling all of the information on Bell trying to drive up the offer from the Pirates.  Tough to know what the Pirates are offering, but if it is close to $4 million I believe he signs.
