Re: [討論] Offseason Outlook: Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox, picking 12th, showed the most intense interest, and told
Mark and his parents that they planned to grab him in the first round. The
Teixeiras could not have been happier. Prior to Mark’s birth, they had lived
in Maine and rooted for the BoSox. Scouting Director Wayne Britton let Mark
and his family know that the team planned to offer a signing bonus of $1.5
million. The family, which was being advised by Scott Boras, informed Britton
that they thought this number was a little light.
The Red Sox, in turn, circulated a message around the rest of the baseball
world, suggesting that Mark was definitely college-bound. The implication was
that no one should waste a pick on him. The strategy worked. On draft day,
Mark followed the proceedings on the Internet, expecting to see his name pop
up when the Red Sox went in the first round—or by some other team sometime
shortly thereafter. When Boston’s spot came, they took University of South
Carolina star Adam Everett instead.
Round after round, Mark’s name went uncalled. He was heartbroken. Finally,
after more than 250 players were off the board, the Red Sox took him in the
ninth round. Despite being submarined, the Teixeiras were willing to deal.
Boston put the same 1.5 mil on the table. When Mark’s dad asked Britton if
he could speak with Dan Duquette, he was told the GM would never call—it was
a take-it-or-leave-it deal. At this moment, any thought of playing for the
Red Sox ended. Mark then called Coach Hall and committed to the Yellow
Jackets. Ten weeks later he packed his bags and headed south to begin a
storied college career.
