@ Sam…

I am told that Mitchell and Thompson are locks to sign. Also pretty likely that Stiles and/or DeLuca will sign or have signed already.

Meade, Lyons, MacKenzie are going to school… Not sure on Bruening

Keyvius Sampson has signed with the Padres. Any word on the bonus number beyond what the Ocala paper is reporting?

According to a few credible yankee blogs and Slade’s facebook page, both he and JR Murphy have signed.

Heard the same on Magnifico before the draft but have heard nothing either way since.

Speaking of 5th rounders and signing them for overslot, do you see the Mets signing Magnifico? I heard he was looking for a 7-figure bonus but that might have changed.

Re Heathcott/Murphy: Yes. I think they have several deals done or all but done that they’re sitting on.
