It was a very pitcher heavy draft, and we went a bit heavier than I’d originally planned to go on college kids (13 of 20 players picked). Brandon Anderson, our eighth round third baseman pick, is currently playing in Williamsport as part of the MLB Draft League, and Brock Blatter, our 11th rounder, is playing in the same league for the Frederick Keys. Our top five picks plus Marcelo Harsch remain unsigned until they officially agree to their draft bonuses. Everyone else has been assigned to their proper teams, and will be monitored for potential promotions in the fall.
