- More good draft news.
5th-rder Austin Shenton signs with @Mariners for $336,600 (full pick 156 slot). Florida International 3B, sweet left-handed swing, should hit for average, power potential too. Some Kyle Seager comps. @MLBDraft

4th-rder Tim Elliott signs w/@Mariners for $400k (pick 126 value = $451,800). Georgia RHP, arguably best NCAA D-I midweek starter before slid into weekend rotation, solid CH is best pitch, 88-94 mph fastball, average slider, lots of strikes. @MLBDraft
