With this signing, Chip Cannon moves to number 2 on the list of Blue Jays with the coolest names.

Jonathan Diaz, SS, NC State (12 round) and Zach Dials, RHP, Kentucky (28th round) have signed.  Brandon Magee, RHP, Bradley (4th round) just has to work out some minor details but is just about signed as well.

Gerry and I just got done talking with Jon Lalonde and we hope to have the interview, about the draft and the top draft picks, up sometime in the next week.
