Cornelius Randolph has two options: a full scholarship to play baseball at Clemson or a signing bonus in the millions and a contract with the Phillies.
The Phillies' first-round pick said he's "pretty confident" that a deal will be made soon with the team. "We'll see how it goes, though," he said.
ON Monday, the Phillies used 10th overall pick in the draft on Randolph, who signed a letter of intent last November to play baseball at Clemson. Randolph is being advised by agent Scott Boras, one of baseball's most powerful figures.
The Phillies have not had a first-round pick go unsigned since J.
