PeteAbe’s got an update on the negotiations with some high profile draft picks. Check it out.

Triple-A Scranton (2-1 win over Lehigh Valley)
Alberto Gonzalez: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Eric Duncan: 1 for 5, 1 RBI, 2 K – tied the game up in the top of the 9th after going 0 for 2 with the bases loaded earlier in the game
