Ian Gardeck said he has a deal with the Giants signed already and I think next to seeing my own kid drafted seeing Nate Koneski out of Holy Cross go to the Mariners is one of my best draft moments ever.

Sounds like the Jays have already signed several college seniors taken in the first 10 rds. I'm hoping that they can sign Alford. But I'm guessing they want to wrap up some of the early picks.

Brewers To Sign Victor Roache
By Zach Links [June 6, 2012 at 10:16pm CST]
Brewers first-round pick Victor Roache told 1250 WSSP Radio (h/t Jaymes Langrehr of Disciples Of Uecker) that he plans to come to Milwaukee tomorrow to undergo a physical and sign his contract. The Brewers selected the outfielder out of Georgia Southern University with the 28th pick.
"I’m coming into Milwaukee Thursday to get my physical and sign a contract, do the press conference and all that. You know, because of my injury from my college season, it was possible I might get shipped off to Phoenix and then start rehabbing, or I might come back home and find someplace here to rehab. Once I get my hand and wrist back fully 100%, they’re going to ship me off and we’ll start playing," Roache said.
Earlier this evening, Brewers scouting director Bruce Seid told Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (via Twitter) that the team was "close with a lot of the top guys".

Man, he dropped a bunch. He's the best friend of a player I know and his Vandy commitment likely made him fall. His family also has a ton of money, so signing bonus is not a factor.
