No, and neither do the Pirates. In fact, there's no indication that he's anywhere near PNC Park, which might rule out a pre-draft physical. Anyone check the Washington Heights domino game?
With about six hours until the magical stroke of midnight, top Pirate draft pick Pedro Alvarez is still unsigned (much like fellow Scott Boras clients Eric Hosmer, who was drafted #3 overall, and Buster Posey, #5). Looks like we're going to use every available minute to watch this one play out.
Earlier today, the Pirates did sign their 20th-round draft pick, RHP Quinton Miller, to a $900,000 bonus that includes a college education, which he presumably would be unable to afford on only $900,000.
Also unsigned is second-rounder Tanner Scheppers, and that one may be looking out of reach. Scheppers is apparently seeking top-1o money, which would probably make a deal unlikely.
Finally, one must wonder: what did Pirate fans do for such up-to-date information before Dejan Kovacevic's blog? I couldn't imagine a life without it at this point.
