Draft Signings Update

2. Josh Towers, P, Washington D.C. Senators - Looks like a good pick for the two slot, defensively adequate, Physically strong. A power starting pitcher with great control, splits and an awesome out pitch, however pitch 2 could be troublesome as the rest are in pretty good shape.

Organization: B A good first and second round pick with good pitching filler for the minors.

15. Kane North, SS, Salt Lake City Multiple Spouses - Can play any position defensively as a GG. Makeup is a little light is the physical aspect. Has a decent eye and can hit the right handed pitchers and the power to hit the ball deep, but short on contact and has problems with the lefties. All in all still a good pick for the SS position.

Organization: C+ The unsigned 2nd round pick remains an overly priced question mark. The 4th round pick could find a ML bench job one day.

27. T.J. O'Brien, 2B, Chicago Cubs - Defensively not capable to play 2B but can play COF with ease. Good eye, splits and very good contact with enough power to hit the LCF gap for doubles and an occasional homer.

Organization: C- mostly minor league fillers at best after the first pick.

This leaves 3 first round picks unsigned.
