According to Keith Law via @espn_mlbdraft on Twitter, the Royals have agreed to terms with 2010 first round pick Christian Colon. The reported amount of the signing bonus is “around $2.8 million” which is right around the league’s recommended slot value for the fourth overall pick over the past few years.
Also, it’s reported that Colon will report to High A Wilmington in about ten days. Currently, the Blue Rocks have Rey Navarro stationed at shortstop after acquiring him from Arizona in early May for Carlos Rosa.
UPDATE: Dayton Moore is denying reports that there’s been a signing, but that the two sides are “getting closer” to an agreement. Bob Dutton suggests such a deal is close.

I'm a KU grad and longtime Royals fan who shudders at the names Ricky Bottalico, Kerry Robinson, and others too terrible to recount, while also longing for the days when Johnny Damon would do commercials with George Brett. I'm glad that there's a new crop of potential stars to hang my playoffs hopes on.
