Signing Deadline

by rays fan 21 on Aug 8, 2008 5:12 PM EDT Comment 22 comments

I was just curious to see if anybody has heard or read any news on our unsigned draft picks from this year. The deadline to sign is next Friday (Aug.15th). I remember reading on here about a month or so ago that Lobstein and Morrison had signed. Morrison is currently at Princeton but I haven"t heard of any more developments on Lobstein. I also have read from a lot of you on here that we should sign Carpenter and Meridith. Please share if you have any news.

Seems Lobstein is a done deal

and it will become official in August 15th, I am hoping we pull a surprise and sign MaGee.

Also want Carpenter and Meredith

Morrison officially signed about a week ago...I also saw the thread on this site where Lobstein signed but that's not the case...

Here is the link from an Oregon paper where Morrison signed (he was to play w/Oregon)

I have nothing on Lobstein or Carpenter, but we knew we were going to have to pay good money for both, esp. Lobstein. Time is running out.

How are so certain?

Not trying to be rude, I just want to know what’s your source?

Goldstein said as much a few weeks ago.

BP article

“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.”
