We also signed the son of our Springfield Pitching Coach Dennis Martinez, Ricky Martinez as an undrafted FA.

Walsh (Johnson City, Klein (Batavia), Bryant, Dodd, Whiting (Johnson City), Tuivailala, Stanley, Longmire, Garcia and Benes (Johnson City)

Seems like a number of the athletes that we drafted got signed. Get to work boys!

This year, they selected some young, raw, or under the radar people:
SS/3B Sam Tuivailala
SS Garcia, not a lot of buzz about the U Hawaii player
CF Williams
LHP Freeman
OF Bryant

It took about $110K to get him signed. His swing needed a lot of work. What I like about Bryant is the combination of size, speed, and left swing.

Can’t expect them to jet through the system.

We have added “toolsy” types before that have yet to fulfill their potential—hello Tommpy Pham, Jon Edwards, Ryde Rodriguez
