Well shit.

I saw the Giants deal fell through - not happy to see the Cubs get ANOTHER guy.

That said, usually the money tells you how good the guy will likely be now that so many teams have heavily invested in the international scouting markets. It's not much different than the Diaz scenario where people were talking about him getting $30 million to replace Jeter in NY. Suddenly there was no market for him at all and the Cardinals got him for utility infielder money.

Then he proceeded to prove he's probably not much more than a RH version of Greg Garcia.

If the market on him fell all the way to $3 million, there are probably some pretty serious issues with his game.
