Is today the last day to sign? Anyone have any good rumblings from our cornfed AOT friends to the north?

Yeah, today is it per Fescoe this morning.

He'll sign with the Royals. Only the delusional NU fans believe he will stay at NU. My take from a NAOTFAN.

Mods, can we get HuskerAOT's handle changed to CatsConvertNOAT? Thanks.

Hiding your face is not very NOATworthy.

@mhays83: Royals Sign Third Round Pick Bryan Brickhouse for $1.5 Million; Fans Still Waiting For Bubba Starling sbn.to/ocA5i0

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #107 on:** August 15, 2011, 08:07:50 PM »

either way the royals come out ok.

jtksu · « **Reply #108 on:** August 15, 2011, 08:18:41 PM »

Everyone knew it would drag out until today. I have a feeling they will announce his signing during the game tonight. (Also- noticed Buster Posey signed as the #5 pick for $6 mil. Seems like the Royals $7.5 mil+ is a pretty strong offer.)

Yea, a 3/4 and a 6/7 pick next summer doesn't seem like a bad deal for not signing a guy that's a pretty high risk guy anyway. If he doesn't sign use the first pick next year on the best player available and with the second look at someone who's possibly closer to major league ready to try and help out the current wave of prospects.

Not unless game lasts until 11:01 or maybe later.

jtksu · « **Reply #111 on:** August 15, 2011, 09:14:06 PM »

Yeah, guess Moose and Hos (both Boras guys) waited until the final minutes. Just kinda hoped the reason they haven't even mentioned Bubba tonight was to set up a surprise announcement. Hell, maybe he could even be watching the game from the owner's suite. (It was a nice fantasy anyway.)

Stupid Fitz · « **Reply #112 on:** August 15, 2011, 09:26:57 PM »

Heard he was home waiting for the lottery numbers to be announced. Pretty sweet that he already has the winning ticket.

jtksu · « **Reply #113 on:** August 15, 2011, 10:41:28 PM »

They are going to announce whether or not signed during the postgame deal. Also- Only 2 of the top 15 have signed so far. Lotta stuff going on for the next 20 mins.

Somewhere, Bo is chomping his gum while breathing through his mouth, yelling so hard that he's spitting all over the place, and most likely pissing himself.

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #121 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:10:08 PM »

gonna need some Nub message board posts.

jtksu · « **Reply #122 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:15:42 PM »

Baseball America says we signed him for 7.5 over 3 yrs. Because Boras was reportedly asking for 10 mil, it would seem that the Royals have, once again, negotiated with Boras in a very effective manner. Some of the douches who posted earlier in this thread have officially been outed as retards.
