Rangers ink top picks

Will. i. Lamb
No waiting around until August for the Texas Rangers' top picks.

I guess it's a perk of picking so late in the first round. And also picking guys most weren't going to take in the first around.

The Rangers signed first rounder Kevin Matthews for $936K and compensatory pick Zach Cone for $873K.

The Rangers have signed 17 of their 51 picks. This comes a day after signing second rounder Will Lamb. The Rangers have, obviously, signed their top three picks and six of their top 11.

Matthews is going to Arizona. Cone is going to Spokane. I assume Lamb will go there too.
