KANSAS CITY -- The Kansas City Royals today announced they have reached an agreement with fourth-round draft choice Tim Melville. Consistent with team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

"We are very pleased to announce the signing of Tim Melville. Tim, his family, and advisor Jason Cook remained committed to this process from start to finish," said Deric Ladnier, Royals Senior Director of Scouting. "Tim is a very talented young man and we are excited that we were able to add a player of his caliber to the Royals organization."

Melville is the 2007 Aflac National High School Player of the Year recipient. The 6'5" right-hander from Wentzville, Mo. finished his senior campaign with an 8-1 record, a 2.56 ERA, and 89 strikeouts in 52 innings. As a junior, Melville compiled a 10-1 mark with a 0.89 ERA which helped Holt High School reach the Missouri Class 4-A finals.

We have until 11pm cst to sign Hosmer and Ryan Curl...glad we got Mellville, considered at the 15th slot in the 1st round but dropped due to signability issues.

I'd like to know how much milk is going to go up at Walmart to cover this "signability pick"? The pressure is really starting to be intense for the scouts. We're talking about big-time trouble for missing with this type of selection.

Hosmer did sign, here's the Star's link:

As I stated all along, Hosmer signed.

Deez Nutz will now have to come up with something else to complain about for the time being.

According to Mayo he got 6 million

As I mentioned here earlier (Thursday? who knows at this point), Hosmer did get a higher bonus than Mike Moustakas. Sources tell me it was a $6 million deal for the Florida prep star.

Royals sign Hosmer for a $6 mill bonus. Damn that cheap ass Glass.

And Glass's perfect streak continues...

In all seriousness, this is a huge positive for the organization. Even if both Hosmer and Melville are busts, this was a strong effort.

Yes. Who could ever accuse that man of cutting corners? The nerve. Seriously, why in the world would you be defending this man like this? For years he's run the organization into the ground. Do you really not remember this? Serious question, are you too young to remember this? Where is your faith coming from? I guess remarkable would be one word for it.

I always like when people post crap like this, then omit the part where he kept the team from moving to a different city. That evil bastard.

I guess Aaron Crowe didn't sign with the Nationals. Wonder what he's going to do for the next year.

He should be thanked for this, indeed.

How many years of not trying to win does this excuse? David Glass, the city's greatest philanthropist.

Dig back in this thread. It's surprising to see the staunch faith that still exists for the Royals. KC has some really strong fans.
