[Belladonaa ()]

The Red Sox have signed outfielder Ryan Westmoreland, their fifth-round pick
in the 2008 draft. Today is the deadline to sign picks.

Westmoreland is from Portsmouth High School in Rhode Island, and was also
considering a scholarship to Vanderbilt.

第5輪 Portsmouth HS (RI) 中外野手 Ryan Westmoreland 簽下！


更新：

Not only did the Sox sign Ryan Westmoreland -- for $2 million spread over
five years -- but they also signed Peter Hissey, their fourth round pick.
Hissey got $1 million.

Westmoreland, the team's fifth-round pick, was signed for well over his slot
value, which was $150,000.

前10輪都簽下了！

Red Sox Spend For Outfielders

The Red Sox may have failed to sign Alex Meyer, but they have landed two
athletic high school outfielders. Boston paid fifth-rounder Ryan Westmoreland
(Portsmouth, R.I., High) $2 million—a record for a player drafted after the
third round—and fourth-rounder Pete Hissey (Uniontown, Pa., High) $1
million. Westmoreland’s bonus was spread over five years under provisions
for multisport athletes, and MLB values his deal at $1.6 million.

Westmoreland, who had been part of a loaded Vanderbilt recruiting class,
often is compared to fellow Rhode Island high school prospect Rocco Baldelli.
He’s a center fielder with hitting prowess, power potential, speed and arm
strength. He was an all-state soccer player and a basketball standout, which
allowed the Red Sox to treat him as a multisport athlete.

Hissey is likened to Paul O’Neill for his tools and his intensity. Like
Westmoreland, he’s a gifted hitter with developing power and above-average
speed. Hissey had committed to Virginia.
