25th round (751st pick): Will Toffey, 3B, Vanderbilt

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound, draft-eligible sophomore has already said he’s not going to sign with the club. “I really appreciate the Orioles drafting me, and I don’t take that for granted,” Toffey told Adam Sparks of The Tennessean on Saturday. “It’s an honor. But I don’t have any intentions of signing.” As a freshman last season, Toffey had a key two-run double in Game 1 of the College World Series championship series against Virginia.

39th round (1,171st pick): Seth Shuman, RHP, Valdosta H.S. (Ga.)

The 6-foot, 190-pound right-hander signed a national letter of intent in February to play quarterback at Georgia Southern. And Shuman, 18, told The Valdosta Daily Times on Saturday that he plans to honor that commitment. ?I?m pretty sure I?m still going to go to Georgia Southern,? he told the newspaper. ?I have the opportunity to still play baseball and football there and maybe get drafted higher later towards the end of my career there.?

Ok. Who has updated to share? Rep.

O's tend to release the information in groups. Word is that Hays has agreed to terms and that the deal is pending a physical.

That's all I got right now.

Almost $50K worth of savings.

Ouch!

I mean good.

Dangit I hate when the high picks sign for overslot.

Glad he signed.

Humpal, the 9th round senior signed for $10K per Callis.

Humpal, the 9th round senior signed for $10K per Callis.

I wonder if those guys ever try and hold out for say 20K?

I mean if they don't sign the O's lose out on that pool money so they are not entirely without leverage.
