Dante Bichette Jr. is very close to becoming a Yankee, or at least that’s what his Twitter feed says. Meanwhile, Baseball America’s Draft Database (subs. req’d) says that 8th rounder Phil Wetherell ($112,5000) and 9th rounder Zach Arneson ($20,000) have both signed. Both have big arms (up to 95, 96) but work-in-progress secondary pitches. Arneson didn’t have much leverage as a college senior. Robert Pimpsner says the Yankees also signed Wes Wilson, and he’s referring to this guy as an undrafted free agent.
Austin Romine, by the way, has not yet resumed baseball activities following his concussion, so it’s safe to say he won’t be back anytime soon. That’s fine, you don’t want to rush anything with head injuries.
