O's agree to terms with 10th-round pick

Today is going to be pretty much all Buck Showalter all the time, but just a quick non-manager note. The Orioles have agreed to terms with their 10th-round pick, Clayton Schrader, a right-handed pitcher out of San Jacinto Junior College in Texas.

Schrader is the 30th pick the Orioles have signed, but only the second within the top 10.

Jeff,

I'm curious as to whether teams have to release the terms of the signing? We often hear about guys getting signed (especially the 1st rounders) but are the amounts released guesses or actual terms? Is it up to each team or is it a MLB thing?

Thanks.

Perhaps the hiring of Showalter will have a positive impact on the top ten signings. At least they will get the impression that they are heading to a team committed to the development of young talent - AND WINNING - not the scrap heap! Go O's (spoken proudly with a natural Baltimore accent!)
