Bryce Lane may sign

41st Round pick Bryce Lane may sign with the Astros, but like every other pick in the draft, it comes down to the contract negotiations.

The Columbus Ledger-Inquirer:
Lane, a 2008 Russell County graduate and two-year GCCC player, said he is leaning toward signing with the Astros, but his decision would hinge on the contract negotiations. He was scheduled to meet an Astros representative with a contract Wednesday night.

Lane:
"This is the best feeling I've ever had. Despite it being the later rounds, it doesn't matter to me. I've always dreamed of playing pro ball, I've got the confidence in myself, and I'm ready to do my time at each level to get to the majors."
