Re: 2011 Draft Picks Official Signings Thread
Rangers 5th round pick Brandon Woodruff is going to school.

Most everybody is signed except for two guys that will be well over slot. We probably won't know til the deadline if they sign.
6th Round Derek Fisher -Wanted 2.5 million before the draft. Last I heard he only wanted 1st round money.
24th Round - Zach Fish - HS catcher with plus power. Wants to go pro. I really hope they get him signed.

Re: 2011 Draft Picks Official Signings Thread
Not official yet, but Sonny Gray and Trevor Bauer are evidently about to sign.
Keith Law tweeted that Gray was in Oakland for his physical, and Peter Gammons tweeted that Bauer had just passed his.
Gray is expected to be assigned to AA Midland, and could even get a Sept. callup.
Bauer will be signing a big league contract.

Looks like it's official - Bauer has signed. Wonder what his bonus will be.
D'Backs To Sign Trevor Bauer
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 25, 2011 at 5:22pm CST]
5:22pm: The D'Backs announced that they have signed Bauer to a Major League contract.
4:56pm: Trevor Bauer, the third overall pick in this year's draft, has passed his physical with Arizona for his first big league contract, according to Peter Gammons of MLB Network (on Twitter).
Bauer, 20, had “the deepest repertoire of any pitcher in the draft,” according to Baseball America. He can reach 96 mph with his fastball and has “top-of-the-rotation upside,” according to BA. Bauer's extensive repertoire worked at the collegiate level this season, as he posted a 1.25 ERA with 203 strikeouts and 36 walks in 136 2/3 innings for UCLA.
After selecting Bauer with Arizona's top pick, D’Backs’ amateur scouting director Ray Montgomery suggested he can be a difference-making starter.
“We see him as a potential rotational guy for us and I think his talent gives him a chance to make an impact on us sooner rather than later,” Montgomery said in June.
Bauer explained last month that Arizona's philosophy about scouting and player development matches up with his own somewhat unorthodox workout regimen. Since Bauer has already worked so many innings, Arizona could choose to shut him down for 2011 if they complete a deal.

A’s Ink Gray For $1.54 Million
Posted Jul. 25, 2011 6:00 pm by Jim Callis
Filed under: Signings
The Athletics have signed first-round pick Sonny Gray for $1.54 million. He becomes just the eighth of the 33 first-rounders to sign, and only the third to exceed MLB's bonus recommendations. The guideline for his No. 18 slot is $1,422,000.
Gray will spend a week at the A's spring-training complex in Phoenix before heading to Double-A Midland. Much like fellow Vanderbilt first-rounders David Price and Mike Minor, he probably won't require much minor league seasoning before reaching the majors.
Though he's only 5-foot-11, Gray had arguably the best fastball-curveball combo in the draft. A righthander, he works from 90-95 mph and touches 97 with his fastball, and his power curve can be just as devastating.

Re: Draft Picks Official Signings Thread (Bauer & Gray Sign!)
I don't get what the strategy is for some of the guys who reportedly aren't even negotiating with their teams. Jackie Bradley said on Twitter that he hasn't even had a single discussion with the Red Sox yet. Is the strategy simply to hold out as long as possible and hope the offer goes up?
