Theo Epstien isn’t resting on the fact that the Red Sox organization made what many people around baseball consider the best overall draft in 2010 — he wants those drafted players in uniform.
Following up on the word that both Kolbrin Vitek and Kendrick Perkins have agreed to terms with the Sox, Jim Callis is reporting that supplemental first-round (36th overall) pick Bryce Brentz is ready to join them and get his proffesional career underway.
Brentz was previously drafted as a pitcher in the 30th round by the Cleveland Indians, after two more college seasons at Middle Tennessee State he is now one of the nations top outfielders. His contract with Boston is reported at being $892,000, and will report to the Lowell Spinners when they begin their season.
Now with two of Bostons three first rounders wrapped up, the only obstacle left is LSU pitcher Anthony Ranaudo, and his agent… Scott Boras.
