Majors Are Confident Most Schoolboy Picks Will Sign
New York AP reports baseball executives expect nearly all of the 20 first round free agent picks from high school and college will sign well before the six month deadline. Clubs drafted 320 players Tuesday and may add as many again today in an unprecedented process. Some clubs may pay more than anticipated amid questions in baseball and Congress on the draft’s legality. Minnesota Twins may raise their bid to Eddie Leon.
