Various minor things...

- Apparently the Sox signed Reggie Taylor to replace Jeremy Reed in LF for the Knights. Taylor was a first-round pick nine years ago. Obviously, he has not really lived up to expectations. The 32-year old utility outfielder has played in 249 major league games, hitting .233/.275/.386. He was hitting .257/.304/.455 before being released (?) by the Louisville Bats. He went 0-4 in Charlotte's loss tonight, playing LF.

- Brandon McCarthy made his first start for Winston Salem today in the first game of a doubleheader. He threw five innings, giving up three runs on five hits. He walked none, struck out five, and served up a homer. He picked up a no-decision. WS won 8-7.

- Have either Adam Ricks or Ryan McCarthy been signed yet?

I haven't heard anything on Ricks yet, but McCarthy has signed and is at Great Falls.

Our top 20 selections and a handful of others past the 16th round have signed then. Outstanding.

Should have mentioned that Ricks was assigned to Great Falls, no real surprise there.

Here's a link to a list of all the pics that have signed. It was last updated on July 2nd, but to the best of my knowledge, no one has signed since then.

Thank you for the information, folks.

Also, a little correction. Taylor is only 27. I have no idea where I got age 32 from.
