Jim: Please put on your Monday-morning quarterback glasses and discuss the Norris signing. From what I understand Norris' father sent a letter to MLB that Daniel was intent on attending college and the only thing that may entice him to sign was a Strasburg-like contract (or words to that effect). As a result of this negotiation ploy many teams backed off although Toronto took a chance and drafted him in the 2nd Round. Based purely on what I have read in Baseball America, Norris signed for ~ $2M (am not sure of the details, guarantees, signing bonuses, etc.). In your opinion did the Norris strategy come back to haunt them? Norris had been touted as a probable high first round selection. If the Norris family had just laid low and not shown their hand, could he have been drafted higher in the first round and gotten a better deal? Am confused. Doesn't seem to be a pretty savvy move from a money perspective. Your thoughts? BTW, keep up the great job!!
