The Sante Fe Fire Hawks nabbed pitcher Chris Boswell with the first overall pick. Family adviser Abdullah Woodward was confident that Boswell would agree to a deal in line with the $4 million bonus last year's top pick, Kevin Canseco signed for. Woodward has previously advised season 4 top overall pick, Brett Davis. No picks are expected to approach the record $16 million bonus paid by the Cincinnati to Manny Corey, the #5 pick in Season 4. Corey is hitting .295 with 10 HR's in this, his first big league season.
Boswell is a 5'10" lefty from St. Peter's, Missouri. Though undersized for a starting pitcher, Boswell generates enormous velocity, working at 91-93 and occasionally touching 95 mph with his fastball. Scouts have compared him to a young Francisco Liriano.
