Zack Lee appears true to his word to prefer playing quarterback for LSU rather than sign with the Dodgers. Lee was the first round pick of the Dodgers and has until Monday to sign a contract. Lee and the Dodgers haven't talked since draft day. "I haven't really heard anything from them," Lee told reporters at LSU football media day last week. "They contacted me to let me know they drafted me. I haven't heard from them since. "As far as I'm concerned, I'm here to stay until something else happens. And I don't really see it happening." Cynics believe the Dodgers drafted Lee because they were confident he wouldn't sign a contract and thus would save the cash-strapped team money. Logan White, the Dodgers' chief of scouting, challenges such thinking. "We didn't draft anyone to go cheap," says White, who politely declined to talk about the matter in depth. "I don't see how talking about the subject before the deadline is over makes sense," he said. Lee is clearly a first round talent, however, and is believed to be worth the gamble of potentially not signing.
