Hosmer signs minutes before deadline

Well, Eric Hosmer signed his deal with the Kansas City Royals tonight, just 10 minutes before the deadline was set to arrive. Hosmer, who otherwise would have went to Arizona State to play for the Sun Devils, got about a $6 million signing bonus. In a related story, my retirement account just rocketed past the $500 mark, so "Hos" and I appear destined for a similar tax bracket ... provided I become, like, the 26th person to rob a Farmington bank this year.

Regardless, here's the link from the Royals Web site detailing Hosmer's signing:
