Not a bad gig if you can get it.

Cubs signed supplemental rounder, #MoState P Pierce Johnson. Sources said it was close or right at slot (value was $1.196M)

Happy that Pierce gets the opportunity and the $ but I can never root for him in that awful organization. Hopefully he can get traded to the Royals somewhere along the way. Good luck Pierce you will need it with the lovable losers.

I didn't follow baseball much but he wasn't even the stud pitcher right?

No our number one was Nick Petree. PJ is considered by big league scouts to have better tools but we shall see. The draft is based so much on potential and shorter guys with a history of arm trouble are avoided like the plague no matter how dominant they are.
