The Indians have signed 19th round pick left-handed pitcher Shawn Morimando. Sources early yesterday morning indicated that both sides were closing in on a deal.  While the Indians have yet to announce anything from a signing standpoint, both Baseball America and Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com have reported the signing as official and say it is for $350K.

Morimando is a prep player who was committed to East Carolina University, but will now head to Cleveland to start his pro career. He is an athletic pitcher with a good fastball-curveball mix from the left side, and was also a pretty good hitter in high school.

Tony -
I can't access the 2011 Draft page you've had up since June. The only place I can find it is on the Draft History link. When I click on it says I don't have access to that page. What's up?
Thanks.

The direct link is here:

It is also under the Draft tab along the top and is the 2011 draft year.

Thanks... my link didn't work last night!
