I'm hearing [the Shoppach PTBNL] will be one of two right-handed pitchers -- Mitch Talbot or Joseph Cruz.

Castrovince, confirming (sort of) the earlier Indians-Rays trade news. Talbot's a 25-year-old in AAA who's out of options; Cruz is a 20-year-old in A-ball. UPDATE: Per Lastoria's Twitter, the list of potential PTBNLs is >2, and the finalization of the pick has been delayed at the Rays' request til Monday the 21st.
