And since my last reply, count me as more optimistic on Glaesmann.

For the Rays, I think they’ll definitely get Washington and Bailey done; I’m less certain but somewhat optimistic on Glaesmann and Malm; and I think Diekroger will be the toughest. Their 10th-rounder, Derek Dennis, is pretty interesting as well.

Its getting closer and closer to the deadline and now I can’t find any information, even from Marc Topkin, as to whether we are close to getting any of them signed. Seems like taking the high school guys may come back to bite us this season.

Not sure on Krol.

His fastball sat at 86-88 mph a lot and he still battled his delivery. Can’t see him getting big money, and he probably won’t sign unless he’s just really determined to turn pro now.

They could still sign Younginer, who reportedly wants a seven-figure bonus, but that will take more time.
