<p>The Dodgers have officially announced the signings of first-round pick Chris Anderson and second-round pick Tom Windle, in addition to 12th-round pick Adam Law and 26th-round pick Thomas Taylor. Anderson and Windle reportedly <a target="_blank" href="http://www.truebluela.com/mlb-draft/2013/6/12/4423824/mlb-draft-2013-chris-anderson-contract-dodgers-first-round">agreed to deals at slot</a>.</p>

<p>"<span class="vitals" style="top: 6px;"><span class="commentsspan">Rhame's fastball sits in the low-90s with good sinking action. He also throws a curveball and a changeup, but his secondary pitches need further development.

"<span class="vitals" style="top: 6px;"><span class="commentsspan">He has good command and can throw all three of his pitches for strikes.
