The $2.6 million bonus it cost to the San Francisco Giants to sign Marco Luciano last summer is the largest they have handed in years. It already looks like money well spent.
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Heliot Ramos’ hot start at San Jose. Not only was he among the league leaders at the High-A level in multiple categories, but he was also doing it while younger than most of his competition.
The same has been true of Luciano in the Arizona Rookie League.
Within his first week of action, Luciano was already producing impressive numbers, and he has continued to turn heads of late.
