The Texas Rangers have agreed to terms with their top two picks:  left-handed pitcher Kevin Matthews and outfielder Zach Cone, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.  Matthews, their first-rounder, signed at the slot price of $936,000 while Cone, their supplemental pick, signed for $873,000.  Both bonuses were at the recommended slot price.

Matthews, the 33rd overall pick, has been viewed as a great athlete. He has touched 94-95MPH with his fastball, though he’s usually in the 87-90MPH range. His tight curveball gives him a solid-average secondary pitch.

Cone, the 37th overall pick, also is viewed as a great athlete with strength but has struggled to hit this season.
