We were able to quickly sign our 1st round supplemental draftee LHP Mason Feole and our 4th rounder CF TJ Hopkins to minor league contracts with bonuses. Mason is assigned to -A West Virginia (NY-Penn league) to start his career.

I think the sleeper of the draft is a little known RHP, John Murphy a University of Maryland Terp graduate with a hometown of Merchantville NJ - a tiny hamlet just outside of Camden NJ. John was drafted by Pittsburgh in the 23rd round. John was not a shining star for the Terp's, but a reliable RP with two pitches, a good fastball and a good curveball that scouts see becoming elite as he matures. What the scouts are projecting is for John to rise quickly as he becomes accustomed to minor league batters.
