Braves Sign Hoover For $400,000



The Braves have signed 10th-round pick J.J. Hoover, a righthander from Calhoun (Ala.) CC, for $400,000. Hoover helped the Harwich Mariners win the Cape Cod League championship this summer and would have started the deciding third game of the finals had one been necessary today. Hoover has a fastball that tops out at 95 mph and maintains his velocity into the late innings.
