Preston MOrrison article.  In the single picture, he looks rather sidearm.  Not submarine, but nearer 9 o'clock than 10 o'clock. 

his postseason ERA is 2.41 in 59 2/3 innings.

Aftermath of draft falling into place.

Shocking that Theo/Hoyer had a plan and seem to be executing it well.

He's either a low 3/4 or side arm.  To me it looks more low 3/4 in how he brings the back and his delivery is more up right than what I think of a side arm pitcher.  It is kinda like Aaron Nola's from last year.

According to a poster on PSD 34th round pick Cody Hawken, OF, will sign if the Cubs meet his number. No indication if the Cubs can/will meet his number.

Won't ANYONE sign if the drafting team "meets his number"?  Isn't the more meaningful question what his number might be?

Which is why I qualified it captain obvious.  Several of the Cubs draftees have said they won't sign, so his indication that he could sign is interesting.

Per Twitter, it seems that 17th rounder Casey Bloomquist and 29th rounder Ian Rice are signing...

In case that wasn't clear enough, #Cubs have signed #MLBDraft 4th round selection DJ Wilson.

According to "draft report" which isn't official but has an excellent track record, the Cubs have signed or are going to sign 8 of their first 10 picks, and I believe that the other 2 are still playing and can not negotiate.  In addition, they have signed or will sign 5 of the next 10.

Unfortunately, there pool money was substantially smaller this year, and their first 4 picks used up most of the overslot money, so probably not a lot will come out of the "over 10" picks.

It will be interesting to see how aggressive and how successful they will be in the IFA market.

Peitzmeier's team was eliminated yesterday so he should sign soon.

Rose is the most interesting of the 11-20 guys, but a lot of them have that hey maybe see something there quality.

Wilson in a article said he was signing.  No bonus info was given.
