Nats Agree With 2nd-Round Pick

The Washington Nationals agreed to terms yesterday with second-round draft choice Destin Hood, a multi-sport talent whose option to play college football scared off some suitors and whose ultimate decision not to helped Washington land a bargain. Hood is the first of Washington's top five picks this year to sign.

By signing with the Nationals -- a deal that includes a $1.1 million bonus, spread over five years -- Hood, from Mobile, Ala., formally chose a professional baseball career over a football scholarship with the University of Alabama. 'He was certainly a first-round talent,' Washington General Manager Jim Bowden said, 'and he fell to us only because of football and signability.'
