The Mets have now signed eight of the 11 players they drafted in the first round, and I'm optimistic they'll signed the remaining three: Brandon Nimmo, Logan Verrett, and Alex Panteliodis.
I saw Panteliodis pitch in the College World Series and he seems to have pro potential, though he appears more as a rotation's fourth or fifth starter.
I haven't heard anything about Verrett's status for awhile. In his junior season at Baylor in 2011, he had a 2.93 ERA and a 7-6 record on a Baylor team with a 31-28 record. In the Big 12 Conference's pitching stats for 2011, Verrett ranked 12th. Another Mets 2011 draftee, Casey Hauptman, ranked 10th.
Finally, I expect Nimmo to sign, but not until next month.
