After thinking on it for a couple of weeks, Georgia Tech closer Matthew Gorst has decided to conclude his baseball career one year early in favor of a fresh start in the Boston Red Sox organization. Gorst, who finished last season with an outstanding 0.55 ERA for the Jackets, will likely receive a signing bonus somewhere in the neighborhood of $100,000 for joining Boston's farm system. It's tough to see a cornerstone of the team depart early, but Gorst would have lost all of his leverage with MLB teams had he stayed for his senior year and could have ended up with a signing bonus worth something close to a tenth of what he got this year.
