WHere did you see that at? I hadn’t got any word that they released him.

Keep in mind I’m looking at guys latter on in the draft. Mu hope is that all the top picks will sign. Also of note I noticed the Cards signed Scott Bittle the other day as a free agent. Had they released him?

Looking at the players that haven’t signed the ones that I would really like to see signed are listed below. Several of these players are really taking a gamble by not signing.

Christopher Kirsch – LHP – 6′ 2″ 185 11/15/1991 Rd 21 Unsigned
Justin Kamplain – LHP – 6′ 0″ – 175 02/13/1993 Rd 22 Unsigned
Brett Graves – RHP – 6′ 1″ 170 01/30/1993 Rd 26 Unsigned
Christopher Matulis – LHP – 6′ 6″ 217 04/09/1990 Rd 29 Unsigned (Gambling)
Kevin Jacob – LHP – 6′ 6″ 225 03/26/1989 Rd 31 Unsigned (Gambling)
Kyle Arnsberg – 1B – L / R – 6′ 5″ 205 08/15/1990 Rd 40 Unsigned
Cody Poarch – RHP – 6′ 6″ 195 03/02/1991 Rd 42 Unsigned

It’s great to see a kid who’s about playing the game rather than “showin’ the money”…. I think it’s smart of the team to get it done and put the kid out there to play. Why burn half a season foolin’ around for a few bucks.

I doubt that’s true given that he’s reporting to QC on Monday to play.

Not surprised he starts in Quad Cities. Seems that is where they put their early round guys, Didn’t Wallace and Luna star there as well?

They both probably meant as opposed to short season A ball.

news cast kept referring to QC as hi A; even Wong, i think, called it that. funny to hear Wong say he looks forward to hi A because he wanted to show them he was ready for the challenge, instead of starting lower. whoops.
