UCLA’s Goeddel Agrees To Terms With Mets

Baseball America has confirmed that UCLA righthander Erik Goeddel has agreed
to terms with the Mets, who drafted him as a 24th-round pick. A source with
knowledge of the deal said that Goeddel's bonus was significantly more than
the $150,000 maximum MLB recommends for picks after the fifth round. BA has
been unable to confirm the exact amount of the bonus because MLB has asked
the Mets to hold off until mid-month before officially submitting the
approved contract.
Goeddel, whom the source said received close to $500,000 (roughly equivalent
to the commissioner's office's guidelines for the No. 73 pick a year ago), is
the first player from this year's draft known to have signed for more than
MLB's slot recommendation. The Mets have been one of the most fiscally
conservative teams in recent drafts–they ranked last in MLB in 2009 draft
spending at $3.1 million–so it's a surprise that they're the first team to
buck the commissioner's office in 2010. Goeddel, who's advised by Sosnick
Cobbe Sports, is expected to join the Mets system in the next two weeks after
New York submits his contract.
A blue-chip prospect in high school, Goeddel needed about 24 months to
recover from Tommy John surgery during his senior year of high school. He
threw eight innings as a redshirt freshman in 2009, then went 2-0, 3.12 with
58 strikeouts and 23 walks in 49 innings of relief this spring, emerging as a
key piece of UCLA's stellar bullpen. He came on especially strong down the
stretch, catching scouts' attention in regionals and sitting in the mid-90s
with a wicked 86-mph slider in the College World Series.
