Fresh off of one of the quicker No. 1 overall pick signings in recent memory, the Rays will continue to build their farm system as well with some big bonuses. Sources indicate that second-round pick Kyle Lobstein will sign with Tampa for $1 million, and that fourth-round selection Ty Morrision, a toolsy outfielder with plus speed and power projection, will also sign for a 'slightly' over-slot bonus.

Didn’t we sign Longoria the day we drafted him?

9 = 8

They need to sign Carpenter. From what I’ve read, he is as good as Lobstein. That would be awesome.

OT: Is longoria the backup shortstop until Bartlett comes back?

I literaly was about to do a Fanshot questioning why we haven't signed our #2 and #4 picks!

This is great news! But how credible is Kevin Goldstein? Ah hell, doesn’t matter…I believe him. Thank god we were able to ink both guys, but I am especially giddy about Kyle Lobstein. Teams stayed away from him because of the money he wanted. Morrison will add to the weak OF depth we have. Great job DRO!!!
