BMH -- Colby Rasmus contract?

[Birdbats]

Brian, when did Colby Rasmus receive his first signature model bats this spring? The press release from H&B on 4/14 says he was one of 10 players signing contracts... but there's a contract model bat on eBay that has his spring training number written on the knob. If he signed his contract in April, that would not make sense... but if he received contract model bats in March, then that would make sense. The bat in question is a G174C, 33.5", 31.5 oz. according to writing inside the cupped end. Also, when did he start receiving contract model B363 bats? Any other models on his records? Thanks!
