He was drafted, at age 20, by the Boston Red Sox in the supplemental first round (42nd pick) of the 2005 draft. He was passed over by other teams because he was arrested for stealing 29 laptops from his high school and selling them.
I could really careless about some other teams rookie
So what? That was two or three years ago. I guarantee none of those GMs passing on him were doing it because they were found his conduct abhorrent. I guarantee they were just afraid he'd do something stupid down the line. With 20/20 hindsight, no competent GM would give a damn about some high school theft now.
Not at all. One assumes they wouldn't want their organization associated with someone who stole some computers, which frankly I doubt any of those guys care about.
The second is a GM afraid of a guy doing it again and causing their investment in the player to be a waste of money.

For the record I hope he has a great career. I hope he wins 20 games a year. I just hope he does bad against the Yankees, and the Reds. Other than that I could care less.
