2011 Draft Signings: Peters open to signing

Dillon Peters

20th round pick left-handed pitcher Dillon Peters appears open to signing, although he has not talked to the Indians much since being drafted. He is a summer follow as the Indians want to get some looks at him pitching summer ball, and after that will probably give him an offer near the end of July or in early August. Peters will decide then which opportunity between going pro now or going to the University of Texas gives him the best opportunity to grow as a pitcher and make it to the big leagues.

29th round pick left-handed pitcher Tyler Nurdin likely will not sign with the Indians, or so his coach at Temple College says.

48th round pick right-handed pitcher Blaine O’Brien is trying to prove his worth to the Indians pitching in summer ball in the New England Collegiate Baseball League. He is ready to sign, and eventually he probably will, but the Indians right now have other pitchers they are looking to try and sign first.
