future hall-of-famer followup

I came to work today and the receptionist again stopped me. She said that some NY Mets representatives were stopping by their house tonight to have some papers signed and other formalities. I guess the reality of it all is starting to sink in...I'm actually feeling excited for them now. She told me to visit the Mets website and click on the draft link and her son will be listed 5th from the bottom. I checked, and there he is. I provided the link below:

As I said, he's the property of the Mets now, but will not be officially signed until he plays at least a year of college ball and shows improvement in key areas (speed, weight, etc). Man, she's already telling me that they were shopping around the Glen in Glenview for new houses...I told her not to jump the gun, as he hasn't been officially signed to anything. But I guess that's what happens when the prospect of financial security suddenly becomes a tangible reality...
