I doubt he’ll go to fresno right away. The org won’t want Bumgarner and Alderson to go to AAA yet and Posey was supposed to stick with them for a bit, right?

Given how they handled Burriss and Bocock, I’m going to guess it mainly has to do with farting contests and beer pong.

He was the fifth or sixth pick overall, by the way. He was considered a potential #1 pick but fell due to – you guessed it! – signability issues.
