Extra wait pays off for Giants' Draft pick Benton Moss

Posted Jun 8, 2014
Friday was supposed to be the day Benton Moss would be selected in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft. The day he had delayed three years ago, opting for college at North Carolina instead of entering the Draft as the sport's 85th-best prospect. But by the time Friday ended, 315 players not named Benton Moss had been taken. His phone wouldn't ring until Saturday morning. (MLB.com)
