Rangers Sign Their First Five Draft Picks In 2012 Draft Class

Per John Blake:

Rangers agree to terms with top 5 selections in 2012 First Year Player Draft: Brinson, Gallo, Wiles, Jamon, and Williams.

I speculated that we'd see something like this happen yesterday, with Brinson/Wiles having all but confirmed that they were signing and Gallo saying that he was heading to Texas to begin his future, and here we find that this is now formalized. Jim Callis had these details on Williams/Jarmon signing earlier today:

#Rangers get another premium athlete in 2nd-rder Jamie Jarmon for $601,500 (full value). Delaware HS OF had football offers, too. #mlbdraft

#Rangers sign 2nd-rder Nick Williams for $500k (pick value=$515,600). Texas HS OF w/great tools, inconsis spring. #A&M recruit. #mlbdraft

I'm still curious to see how far above slot Gallo ends up signing, given his reputed $2.5 million bonus demands ... I'm also pleased to see these guys getting into the system right away, especially since every one of these players is incoming from high school and since they need to be exposed to quality pro instruction ASAP to maximize their developmental chances.
