Carlos Collazo   @CarlosACollazo   Agreed. Going straight pitching seems inherently risky, but I feel like the #Angels got a lot of talent in this draft class. Have them with 19/20 picks signed at 4.86% over their bonus pool. I really like a few of the late-round picks they got signed. #MLBDraft Quote Tweet       Joe   @jabs711 · 1h Replying to @CarlosACollazo Pretty impressive that the Angels got Silseth and Albright to sign. Should be a big boost to their overall draft class

Carlos Collazo   @CarlosACollazo   Yessir, Mo Hanley has signed with the #Angels for $125K. 13th round pick who probably would have gone significantly higher if healthy. Crazy numbers. #MLBDraft Quote Tweet
