Although the White Sox would not confirm the agreement and have yet to make a formal announcement, it is believed that Jordan Danks received a signing bonus just over $500,000.

Good

I’m not much of a fan of little Danks. He’s looked quite awful when I’ve watched him live. But the scouts like him and for 500K it’s worth a shot. Even if he sucks, we can look at it like we paid John that money for his fine work and to keep the family happy.

Any word on where he'll be playing?

The Indians signed a pair of college righthanders, Michigan’s Zach Putnam (fifth round) for $525,000 and UC Irvine’s Bryce Stowell (22nd) for $725,000. Putnam was the Big Ten Conference pitcher of the year, while Stowell was one of the top starters in the Cape Cod League this summer. Industry sources also expect Cleveland to announce two more high-priced signings Friday, with Central Heights High (Nacogdoches, Texas) righty Trey Haley (second) getting a seven-figure bonus and Picayune (Miss.) Memorial High lefty T.J. House (sixth) receiving an $860,000 bonus.

The Twins inked West Delaware High (Manchester, Iowa) righthander B.J. Hermsen (sixth round) for $650,000. Projected as a possible sandwich-rounder entering 2008, Hermsen has a heavy low-90s fastball and a sharp slider when he’s at his best. He had committed to Oregon State.

Is that second or third round money for Putnam?

I think he’ll at least have early success in the minors.

He'll win all of his afternoon starts?

but struggle with the 7:05 pm starts?

Red Sox offered their 20th rounder $2M, but he turned them down

but they signed their 5th rounder for $2MM and their 4th for $1MM
