"Alex Wilson, a righthanded pitcher from Texas A&M chosen by the Red Sox in the second round of the recent First-Year Player Draft, was among 11 players whose signings were confirmed by the club today. Wilson, the 77th overall selection, went 6-6 with a 4.22 ERA and two saves in 24 appearances, including eight starts in 2009. The 6-foot-1-inch, 205-pound junior limited opponents to a .237 average and struck out a team-high 120 batters compared to just 25 walks, earning All-Big 12 honorable mention honors (Boston.com).
Good to see the Sox get this out of the way, so they can start this kid on his minor league journey. Here is the list of the other players that signed...
14th-round pick Willie Holmes of Chaffey (Cal.) College
15th-rounder Michael Bugary, a lefthanded pitcher from Cal
19th-rounder Tom Ebert, a righthanded pitcher from Florida International
22d-rounder Jordan Flasher, a righthanded pitcher from George Mason
23d-rounder Chris Court, a righthanded pitcher from Stephen F. Austin
41st-rounder Kyle Rutter, a righthanded pitcher from NC State
47th-rounder Jordan Sallis, a second baseman from Arkansas-Fort Smith
50th-rounder Drew Hedman, a first baseman from Pomona-Pitzer (Calif.)
