Aug. 15 -- SAMPSON SIGNS

WASHINGTON -- Quick note before the clubhouse opens: the Phils have signed right-hander Julian Sampson and outfielder Cedric Johnson, their 12th and 19th round draft picks in the June draft.

Sampson, 18, is the big news. He went 7-1 with a 1.88 ERA in nine starts for Skyline (Wash.) High and signed with the Phillies instead of taking a scholarship to the University of Washington. The Phils have agreed to terms with 30 of their 51 picks. The deadline for signing draft picks is 11:59 p.m. tonight. I'll have more in the 50-center tomorrow.

Back in a little while, hopefully with updates on Adam Eaton's status for Friday and Shane Victorino's health.
