Giants sign top international shortstop prospect, Lucius Fox

He has a 70 name, and he was stolen away from the Dodgers. This is a good thing.

So about that article from yesterday ... uh, it was a fine educated guess. But the Giants did make a big splash on the international market, signing switch-hitting shortstop prospect Lucius Fox for a reported $6.5 million. That means the Giants will pay about $4 million in penalties and lose the ability to spend more than $300,000 on a single player for the next two signing periods.

It's a steep price, but Fox was considered one of the very best prospects on the market.
