Looks like the Tigers are going to give him a $7.3M bonus.<br /> <br /> Here is the link: <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/baseball/mlb/08/14/tigers.draft/index.html%20/">Tigers sign Porcello</a><br /> <br /> From the article:<br /> "Porcello, a right-hander from Seton Hall Prep in West Orange, N.J., has been compared by scouts to Beckett, who held the record for a bonus for a high school player signing with the team that drafted him when he received $7 million from the Marlins in 1999 after they selected him second overall."</p>
