This one here is really for Chris Taylor fans, but Dodgers fans who survived the Frank McCourt era can enjoy too… and shudder. According to MLB Trade Rumors, the Colorado Rockies signed one-time top LA pitching prospect Zach Lee to a minor league deal.
Lee was the team’s first round draft pick back in 2010. Already committed to playing football at LSU, the Dodgers had to pony up the dough for the number 28 overall pick. Former GM Ned Colletti gave Lee a $5.25 million signing bonus and his baseball career began in earnest.
Quickly, however, it went fairly downhill.
