June 21, 200917 yr With the NY-P league already started and GCL kicking off this week, I was wondering if anyone had heard word on the Marlins signing their draft picks,especially #1 James? I know the following picks have signed: Dan Mahoney 4th rnd RHP Chase Austin 5th rnd SS Josh Hodges 7th rnd RHP Jobduan Morales 9th rnd C Matt Montgomery 10th rnd RHP Sequoyah Stonecipher 14th rnd OF, coolest name ever!!!! A.J. Ramos 21st rnd RHP Tommy Peale 23rd rnd RHP Michael Brady 24th rnd SS Harold Brantley 30th rnd OF Kaleth Fradera 36th rnd RHP
June 23, 200917 yr Author Slowly but surely draft picks are trickling in the big one is # 3 pick OF Da'Shon Cooper. Also signing are Kyle Jensen 12 rnd OF Terrence Dayleg 22 rnd SS Sean Teague 25 rnd RHP Brent Weaver 26 rnd 3b Nate Simon 27 rnd 2b Holden Sprague 28 rnd RHP Jared Eskew 29 rnd LHP Dallas Hord 32 rnd C Isaac Morales 34 rnd LHP Tyler Topp 35 rnd RHP
July 31, 200916 yr Why haven't the first two signed yet considering they were drafted and I heard that they were purported to have signability? You think it's that they are holding out for more money or are considering college?

A 6-foot-4 right-hander out of Royal High School in nearby Simi Valley, Berglund chatted with pitching coach Mark Wiley, Josh Johnson and Chris Volstad. Wiley told him, "You don't have to be this tall to pitch in the major leagues." Berglund, like first-round pick Chad James, has yet to sign. "I really want to go out and play, but this is the one time I have for a while to be able to negotiate stuff and get what I want," said Berglund, who has committed to Loyola Marymount. "I'm pretty confident that I'll be signed just because I really want to go out and play."

July 31, 200916 yr Still amazes me that we passed on a much better pitcher in Shelby Miller for signability reasons and a guy who was probably a reach even at #18 is waiting for more than slot.

No, he says himself he'll be signed because he wants to play pro ball
August 4, 200916 yr Almost none of the bigger-name first rounders have signed as it stands right now. This is far worse than last year, in terms of players signed by now. ESPN had an article about it on Friday. Looks like most of the big names are going to go down to the wire (especially Strasburg and Tyler Matzek). MLB badly needs to reform a lot of its draft system, particularly the rule that draft picks can't be traded.
August 5, 200916 yr I am personally indifferent to James signing, two firsts next year would be nice.
August 15, 200916 yr Two days to go before the marlins lose there top two selections in this year draft and no news one way or another...weird
August 15, 200916 yr 2nd rounder Berglund has signed: http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_baseball_marlins/2009/08/florida-marlins-second-round-pick-signs.html No word on James, but I have no doubt that they'll get him signed.
August 15, 200916 yr Cooper is already playing in GCL Marlins. doh! I keep on forgetting his first name is Marquis, not Da'Shon.
