Found August 13, 2007 on Cubs Hub:
There have been few draftee signings that have been as lucrative and as late selection as Huseby signed last year with the Cubs. In the 11th Round, the Cubs drafted Huseby whom was considered a virtual lock to honor his commitment to Auburn. With a 1.3M signing bonus, which is a late first round money, Huseby bypassed college and set an 11th round record for bonus money. It also sent Bud Selig into a tizzy as MLB has been trying to keep draft bonuses down and in-line. Selig wasn't happy at all with the Cubs 2006 draft, as we gave 5th Rounder Jeff Samardzija a MLB contract.
