Thought I'd let everyone know how our most recent professionals were doing now that the draft is over and players are signing contracts.  Last year Beni and Wernes really took off at the start of their pro careers; here's to hoping these 2016 guys do the same.

If an admin wants to combine this thread with other minor league threads, no worries.

James Teague (Orioles) - assigned to GCL (Rookie league), one inning of scoreless relief.

Clark Eagan (Pirates) - assigned to West Virginia (Short Season low A ball), a bit of an adjustment period with low OBP and Slugging.  Hitting .167 in his first 25 AB's.

Michael Bernal (Giants) - assigned to Arizona (Rookie League), hitting .273 with a homer, playing SS.  They don't have his picture loaded into milb yet.

Doug Willey (Angels) - Assigned to Orem (Rookie league), made three long relief appearances, 3.60 ERA.

Zach Jackson - (Blue Jays), Zach reached an agreement but has not yet been assigned, to my knowledge.

However, its a bit of a mystery since the Jays themselves don't have Zach listed as having signed a contract.

If Zach is sent to Vancouver (Short Season low A ball), he'll meet up with Jackson Lowery, who's been there all season.

Plus we have Hog signees but never came to the Hill: Ben Rortvedt (Twins, Rookie League), Tyler Benninghoff (Twins, Rookie League - on DL currently) and Cole Stobbe, (Phillies, signed but no assignment yet)
I'm in shape.  Round is a shape.
