Sox sign 28th rounder Eric Curtis
The Red Sox continued their signing spree this evening by inking 28th round pick Eric Curtis out of Miami-Dade CC South. Curtis, 19, was primarily a catcher in college, but there have been some indications that the Sox intend to use him as a pitcher. He hit .391 for Miami-Dade in 2009, but didn't pitch in a game. A native of Chester, Virginia, Curtis played for Virginia Commonwealth prior to transferring to Miami-Dade. His bonus is not believed to be above-slot, likely more in the $50,000 - $75,000 range.
