There really is not any new news pertaining to the recruit, but the Indianapolis Star published a quick blurb on Monar today (7/11).
Monar, a pitcher who has committed to Indiana University, was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 26th round.Lane Meyers'"I'm still up in the air," he said. "(I'd sign) if they make me an offer I can't pass up but, if not, I'm happy to go to IU. The Yankees are coming to every start and evaluating me. I just throw. Once they make a good offer, I'll decide what's best for me."
Lane said on his blog:
The great news here is that the Yankees are tracking every start he makes - they are not treating his case as a late round flyer that they will only start paying attention to if/when other draftees don't sign.
The Yankees have been paying attention to Monar's every start, but I would believe they have the resources to track all of their prospective pitchers' starts. If they were to sign a majority of their other targets, they might not be willing to bump up their offer from top 4th round money to 3rd, like Monar told me he has hoped for before this whole process started.
