6:23pm: The Mets have agreed to terms with first-round pick (12th overall) Gavin Cecchini, according to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York. The deal is pending a physical. The recommended slot price for the 12th overall pick is $2.55MM, though no terms of Cecchini's agreement with the club have been revealed. Cecchini, 18, is a high school shortstop from Louisiana who had committed to the University of Mississippi.
Slightly under, good job.
If Gavin is close to the prospect his brother Garin is, the Mets have something there.
Shame he cost so much.. Garin dropped down some with his injury and Boston got him for a little over 1m in round 4 a couple years back, but he is a terrific R/S IF prospect, no matter he sticks at 3b or not his combo of bat and speed is nice and from what have seen this season of Garin they are fairly similar.
Smile for the camera. Cecchini!
