It sounds like we'll see Blewett sign today as well, based on Twitter reports last night.
The guy who looks like a tough sign is Brandon Downes... his slot is only $125k or so, and it likely will take more to keep him from going back to Virginia for his senior year. His stock dropped a lot this year due to struggles with the bat, but last season he (from CF/C) was the cleanup hitter on a team that featured two other big bat guys that got drafted early. Intriguing pick, hopefully they can find enough cash to get him to the pros quickly.
