Not relevant to this list but I saw an item that the Angels drafted nothing but 20 pitchers. Not a single hitter or position player. Other clubs came close to that.

#3

That’s really interesting. Wonder how that plays out on their minor league rosters?

#4

I would guess they’ll take care of any needs at the other positions with UDFAs.

#5

Was there no place for Goodheart on this roster?

#6

It will easier for Goodheart to start in A-Ball than the '22 Hogs…

Unfortunately, with my daughter being born two weeks early and me taking time off, I wasn’t able to update this leading up to the signing deadline like I thought I would.

The final update is that everyone except Elijah Trest and Drake Varnado signed. This site is a good resource to find signing bonuses.
