If he even comes close to living up to the hype, it's a steal.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
All expectations are that he will spend most, if not all, of this year in the minors. So that's 20% of the contract for a minor leaguer.

We paid close to 20% of Shark's contract for him to be in the minors...didn't we?
