It was originally 2 mil and was lowered to 1.6 mil. The age discrepancy was small, so I didn't remember that part. But I do remember the bonus being lowered. You’re right.

I've heard LoDuca as a comp when he was drafted but I think he'll have more power if he works out. pendingpinstripes has a good write up on sanchez if you want his scouting report.

Montero didn't get that, and he was every bit the hitting prospect that he turned out to be at the time. The Yankees must be very confident. 2.5 million dollars is a ton of money for an IFA.
