Choice, A’s Agree On $2 Million Bonus

The Athletics and No. 10 overall pick Michael Choice have agreed on a $2 million bonus. Choice becomes just the 11th of 32 first-rounders to sign this summer, and the first since the Angels landed Chevez Clarke on July 2.
Choice's bonus is more than MLB's recommendation of $1.836 million for the No. 2 pick, making him and the Rays' Justin O'Conner the only first-rounders to receive over-slot deals to this point. At $164,000, Choice's bonus is the most above slot for any 2010 draftee so far.
An outfielder from Texas-Arlington, Choice eclipsed Hunter Pence (second round, 2004) as the highest-drafted player in school history. One of the best power hitters in this year's draft, Choice set a UTA record with 34 career homers and led NCAA Division I with 76 walks this spring. A strong 6 feet and 215 pounds, he has lightning bat speed and crushes balls to all fields. He also has 6.6-second speed in the 60-yard dash, so some scouts believe he may be able to stay in center field.

Happy to hear this. He was the most intriguing early first round selection for me. Seems to me there is a toolsy outfielder in every early first round that interests me. Like Mitchell, Tate, Choice, etc.
