Minor League Update: Two More Picks Sign

Jason Cooper probably would rather not have the distinction, but at least it isn't something like a strikeout record.

Cooper is an outfielder with Buffalo and his first action came in 2004. He is now second place on the all-time RBI list. Not sure what that says about Cooper, who is 27 years of age. Will he ever make it to the majors? Not sure, probably not with the Tribe at least.

Buffalo lost last night, former number one pick Bryan Bullington shut the Herd down for 6.1 innings of work, allowing just one hit. The Indians' bullpen finished it off without anymore hits.

David Briggs posting in Mike Harrington's blog mentioned Bullington was taken with the number one overall pick a few years ago, but Dave Littlefield basically said "We took him because we feel the safest about him and he can contribute faster than anyone." Well neither of that is working our right now.

Asdrubal Cabrera went 0-4 last night, he did no have that one hit.

Trevor Crowe knocked in two more runs last night as the Aeros slipped up against Bowie. Bowie now pulls into a tie for 2nd and Akron leads the division by 2.5 games. Nathan Panther is off the DL and he too knocked in a couple of runs.

It looks as if Luis Perdomo is on his way to Akron. He's listed on their roster as of today. Perdomo was the closer for Kinston.

The Lake County Captains got swept.

Two more draft picks signed, giving the Indians 19 of 50. 14 of their first 21 have also signed.

Matt Langwell out of Rice is a right handed pitcher taken with the 11th pick.

Nate Recknagel out of Michigan (Go Blue) is a first baseman taken with the 19th pick. Mahoning Valley has Brock Simpson, a listed outfielder playing first, so they could use Recknagel.
