Draft Roundup: Wallace, Alvarez, Scheppers

By Tim Dierkes [June 30, 2008 at 9:01am CST]

Here's the latest draft pick signing info.

The Cardinals are close to signing their top pick, Brett Wallace. The bonus is expected to be around $1.85-2MM. What position is he going to play long-term? Does left field make the most sense?
The Pirates are negotiating with Pedro Alvarez, but both sides are staying mum on the details.
The Bucs are also talking with Tanner Scheppers. They're still trying to gauge his health.

Brett Wallace in LF!!! That would be the worst idea ever

Where, then?

It sounds like they're going to have him play third base and work from there.

The Pirates if they can get Alvarez and Scheppers signed they have one of the best drafts. That gives them 2 top 10 talents out of 1 draft.

Man, how I wish the A's had taken Wallace. Bay Area boy and a weakness in our system (3B). Then again the A's needed a 2B too.

But Schnoah, you're right about the Pirates. Seems like LittleBrain had been holding them back for quite a while.

I think they'll at least try 3B, but if it doesn't work than he'll be in LF. I don't see how that is such a terrible idea. Its the easiest position to play in the field maybe outside of 1B, which isn't really an option...
