Miles Head signs with Sox
Continuing a busy Friday for the Red Sox, Jim Callis of Baseball America is reporting that the team has signed 2009 twenty-sixth-round draft pick Miles Head. He will reportedly receive a signing bonus worth $335,000, a figure more than double the slot recommendation of the MLB commissioner's office. A third baseman from Whitewater High School in Fayetteville, Georgia, Head possesses excellent present power with plus power potential. His smooth right-handed swing and sound mechanics helped him hit .528 with 14 home runs, 48 RBI and a 1.260 slugging percentage during his senior season. A fluid defender in the field with excellent arm strength, Head had been committed to Georgia.
