Sox to sign second rounder Gibson
The Red Sox have reportedly come to terms with their second round pick SS Derrik Gibson (# 77 overall) out of Seaford High School in Delaware for a reported $600k bonus. Gibson is an elite defensive prospect who could play both middle infield positions or outfield and features line drive power with the bat. He is with the organization in Fort Myers and is expected to debut with the GCL Red Sox in late August. The Sox have also signed 36th rounder Georgia high school LHP Richie Wasielewski.
