Destin Hood Situation

Alabama signee Destin Hood and his family have not been hesitant in expressing their expectation to get first round money from the Washington Nationals after being drafted in the second round of this years MLB Draft. The Nationals have until August 15th to sign the Alabama signee, but the Washington baseball organization is showing some aggravation in still not having signed their top 5 draft picks (which includes Hood).

The baseball draft is a very strange thing with how many picks (over 2000) there are in it, but I believe Hood will still sign with the Nationals.

"Last year, the Nationals signed each of their top 20 choices -- just one of two teams with such a success rate. But even the most uniquely handled selection, McGeary, didn't come to an agreement until less than 30 minutes before the deadline," wrote Chico Harlan in his Washington Post article.

If the Nationals fail to sign Hood, it is assumed that Hood would join the Alabama football team. With preseason football beginning on August 1st, Hood would join the team two weeks late.
