Agents tell teams all of the time they have signed a commit letter, basically means they will sign but they are expensive.
Norris, was thought to be a tougher sign.... for the exact reason.
Beede is going after the cash, I remember another Jays draft pick that did the same thing and he blew out his arm....

I'm not saying I agree with his decision or think its the right way. I believe that Beede truly wanted to go to school and pitch for Vanderbilt and it was going to take a huge offer to change his mind that's what i'm saying. I dont' think it's as simply as I want money I think his deseire for an education and to play for Vanderbilt play a part and I think that should be respected.
I would have for sure taken the money and he took a serious risk but I think he understands it all.
