Brett Wallace

Draft Roundup: Wallace, Alvarez, Scheppers

By Tim Dierkes | June 30, 2008 at 9:01am CDT

Here’s the latest draft pick signing info.

  • The Cardinals are close to signing their top pick, Brett Wallace.  The bonus is expected to be around $1.85-2MM.  What position is he going to play long-term?  Does left field make the most sense?
  • The Pirates are negotiating with Pedro Alvarez, but both sides are staying mum on the details.
  • The Bucs are also talking with Tanner Scheppers.  They’re still trying to gauge his health.

Draft Roundup

By Tim Dierkes | June 3, 2008 at 9:42am CDT

Today’s draft links.

  • Rany Jazayerli looks at possibilities for the Royals at #3.  He hopes they don’t take Eric Hosmer.
  • MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo has new projections for the top 30.  He’s switched the Orioles from Brian Matusz to Aaron Crow at #4, among other changes.
  • Keith Law has tons of good stuff…the Giants are eyeing Gordon Beckham, the Reds are considering Brett Lawrie, Jason Castro could go to the White Sox, the Dodgers like Zach Collier, and much more.
  • Ken Davidoff is hearing that the Padres are in on Brett Wallace and the Twins like Christian Friedrich.
  • Pedro Alvarez would be honored to be picked by the Pirates.  Dejan Kovacevic continues to say they’re leaning that way.
  • I am considering live-blogging Thursday’s draft, posting each pick here as soon as it’s announced (you would not have to refresh).  Would that be helpful?
