The Indians reached an agreement with second-round pick LeVon Washington for $1.55MM, tweets SI's Jon Heyman.  The Indians drafted the outfielder 55th overall; he'd gone to the Rays at #30 out of high school in 2009 but turned down their offer of $500K and attended Chipola Junior College.  Washington is represented by Scott Boras. MLB.com outlined the knocks on Washington - he might not have the arm to stick in center field, and he comes with a "perceived lack of energy."  On the plus side, he brings offense and above average speed.
