6/12 Pierce Johnson signs
Missouri State right-handed pitcher Pierce Johnson, selected by the Cubs in the supplemental round of the First-Year Player Draft, has apparently signed with the team. Johnson, who was taken 43rd overall as compensation for the departure of free agent Aramis Ramirez, announced the signing Monday on Twitter: “Just signed with the Chicago Cubs! Thanks to God, family, teammates, coaches and friends. If it wasn’t for you guys I wouldn’t be here!”

Have the Cubs signed another of their draft choices?
After reading that Johnson was originally drafted by Tampa in ’09, this makes this a great signing. Nice start.
