Big Money for Matusz
The Orioles sign first round pick Brian Matusz for $3.2 million and a spot on the 40-man roster:
"I'm excited," Matusz said. "It's been a long summer, a lot of talks going on these last few weeks ... the last few days have been hectic. I haven't slept much, with all the traveling and trying to get a deal done. It's a relief now to have it done and start my pro career, and do what I've loved to do since I was a little kid -- play baseball."
He posted impressive college stats at San Diego, improving each season. He averaged 11.3 K per 9 there.
