Draft Update

Kevin Czerwinski of MLB.com updates us all on the draft and the ten first rounder who have yet to sign. History shows that first rounders that wait till the deadline usually sign at the last minute in order to maximize profit, so I expect most to sign within the next day or two. The deadline is Friday at 11:00 P.M. CT.

After calling around to a couple sources, Brian Matusz and Aaron Crow seem like the least likely of the first rounders to sign. While that could change in an hour, at this point, it looks like they will not be signed. High school star Eric Hosmer has not had serious discussions with his team yet, but he is expected to sign for a little more than Mike Moustakas, the Royals first round pick last year.
