The Phillies signed top draft pick Larry Greene, reports Baseball America's John Manuel. Greene, a high school outfielder, was drafted 39th overall in the supplemental round as part of the compensation for the loss of Jayson Werth. He received a $1MM bonus, the largest amount so far outside of the first round. Greene is represented by ACES. The Phillies' first-round pick, #33 overall, went to the Rangers for Cliff Lee.
According to Baseball America, Greene is a "physical beast" known for "well above-average raw power."
