If you are interested in years past, here's the 2010 and 2009 articles covering the past two drafts. To wrap up, Arizona had themselves another solid year of drafting quality talent. We should be seeing a nice crop of players from the 2010 and 2011 drafts make their debuts within the next two years.

Yo, in 2019 no one will be able to compete
with our Pitching Rotation of a veteran Trevor Bauer, Elroy Urbina, Michael Cederoth, Tucker Ward, and Alex Capaul. IT’S UNSTOPPABLE

Don't sell Bradley short
he’s a couple of years younger than Bauer, has good size, and a fantastic arm. He could be around for quite a while, thank you very much.

That's an interesting projection
the wonderful thing about a raw talent like that is the enormous flexibility afforded by youth and talent.

A little bit of a joke.
Obliquely pointing towards the usual relative obscurity of the last couple of guys drafted.

any relation? the Mets signed his son, Juan, in 09

I'm shocked they signed Leonard.
I thought for sure the value for him was going to NC State (that’s where he was committed, right), play SS and make bank.
Days until Aug. 18: 135

We have to wait for Pittsburgh and Seattle
for Bauer, right? Otherwise, we are probably overpaying for a college arm.

Naw, he'll be a quick sign
And I don’t think it will be exorbitantly above slot. He wants to come here and loves AZ. $7MM, tops?

i was thinking $6MM tops
but yeah, should be around there

Shouldn't this be a FanPost?
So it’ll stay up for a while and can be regularly updated?

Can update it as and when
And if you click the update date/time button, e.g. when we sign Bauer or Bradley, it’ll pop back up to the front. Also, it’s in the draft section on the sidebar, and I don’t expect many more posts in there.

Good to see Bianco signed
Really excited to see him next Spring @ South Bend (where I imagine he’ll be headed).

And yeah,
I’m glad to see he signed so quickly.
That seems like it might have been a bit of an overdraft, so let’s hope our area scout is right.

Yakima
Don’t you think he’ll probably go to Yakima or Missoula first? He could get overwhelmed in South Bend fresh out of high school. He’d be better served showing what he can do in low A-ball first. if he blows up then he could get a quick promotion.

Consider yourself warned.

I know.
I would have hidden it, but I hope he comes back and realizes he made a stupid mistake.
…buuut I dunno that that’s gonna happen.

New links added
As well as Justin Bianco’s signing bonus which appears to be about right on par with slot value. No word on whether or not his bonus includes free pizza from Pizzeria Bianco.
