Bucs Sign Two More Draft Picks

by Charlie Wilmoth on Jul 1, 2009 10:38 PM EDT

The Pirates announced three draft pick signings today--in addition to third-rounder Evan Chambers (noted a couple posts below this one), they also signed 13th-rounder John Gourley and 18th-rounder Ryan Beckman. I don't know much about Beckman, who's a reliever out of community college in Texas, but Gourley could be pretty interesting--he was a fairly highly regarded infield prospect in North Carolina who the Pirates signed away from a commitment to East Carolina. He probably won't stick at shortstop, but he should be able to play elsewhere in the infield.
