May not know for awhile. They have till mid-August to negotiate and sign before having to enroll at LSU.

They will be offered better then slot money to get them to go pro. Impossible to tell with out the inside info.

Even the Pirates have money to spend. He could reach a 750k as a 6th rounder.
that being said I dont think it will happen, but you never know.

The Pirates took one interesting approach in the '08 Draft that paid off substantially, and look for them to do it again. That approach was taking high school players who were upper-round talent but fell down on teams' Draft boards because of their commitments to playing in college. When other teams passed on these players -- Robbie Grossman being an example -- the Pirates stepped in.
In Grossman's case, the Pirates took him in the sixth round and convinced the outfielder to forego his chance to play at the University of Texas by offering Grossman a $1 million signing bonus, way over what a sixth-round draftee would expect. The strategy paid off as Grossman signed with the team.

After making a buzz in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft because of who they picked (Pedro Alvarez, a client of Scott Boras) and how much they spent in signing bonuses (nearly $10 million in all), the Pirates maintain that they will have a similar aggressiveness and willingness to spend this year as well.

Looks like Colvin is heading to LSU
that was also before he was even drafted. And his little buddy was posting on here the day after the draft that they weren't too far off money wise.

I hate being right sometimes.
