Veteran Member Posts: 871 06/11/09 2:26 PM Veteran Member	Re-posting from what I found for draft thread II on Gera Sanchez: Dominated the competition in the Western Junior College Athletic Conference in 2008. Held opponents to a .171 batting average in 8 appearances, while striking out 92 in only 60.2 IP. Then, last October, he tore his ACL. After several months on the shelf, he is pitching this summer for the Eau Claire express of the Northwoods League where, as of June 6, he was 2-0 with 16 strikeouts in 13 innings pitched. A fun summer follow, indeed. "Things happen in Boston." -Joe Morgan

Veteran Member Posts: 125 06/11/09 2:43 PM	From Baseball America (Subscription): Marzilli's Bishop Hendricken teammate Chris Constantino has been the best prep pitcher in the Ocean State this spring, but his future is with the bat. He has above-average raw power from the right side, and his strong arm plays well at third base, though he might wind up at first as he matures. Constantino is going to Walters (Tenn.) State JC.

Bush also yelled "I'm Matt (expletive) Bush," and "(expletive) East County," before driving over a curb in his Mercedes when leaving the campus, according to the witness.

Raw power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWHBWpqkB4s&feature=channel_page Just wanted to say that Singer has disallowed me from posting new topics ever since my Freddy Guzman thread. He seemed very upset about my opinions and was almost hostile in his responses. He must have been upset about something else, I don't know, it was strange. Anyway, apparently he has deemed me unworthy of starting new discussions. Do I mind? I do mind, the Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man. -- Youngcheese, making my day

Veteran Member Posts: 1432 06/11/09 4:56 PM Moderator	Many people, including myself, were surprised when the Brewers drafted stud football recruit Jacobbi McDaniel. From Warchant.com: Jacobbi McDaniel has a big decision to make. The former Madison County star athlete was all ready to report to Florida State on June 20th, and he still plans to begin his football career with the 'Noles, but will he stay? McDaniel was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers who selected him in the 33rd round today (1,006th overall). The Rivals100 member has been leaning towards playing football and turning down the baseball contract, but he's not 100 percent sure what he will do yet. That's because, according to McDaniel, the Brewers are paying him as if he were drafted on the first day. The FSU signee asked for 1.5 million but says the Brewers are willing to offer him $800,000. An astronomical number for a player selected in the 33rd round. It's not exactly what he wanted, but it was enough to make him think. "They said if they knew I was playing baseball full time, they would have taken me two days ago," said McDaniel. "I mean, to get drafted...my chances of going to Florida State was 100 (percent), but now it's about 75." I'm hearing Hudson wants to become a hitter - his exact quote: "Baby-Hühner graben die lange Kugel"

Veteran Member Posts: 2634 06/11/09 5:53 PM Veteran Member	Bayer, who features an 86-88 mph sinker, told the Average Joe Show on ESPN's Springfield affiliate 1450 WHLL that being drafted by the Red Sox is a dream come true. "It was unbelievable," said Bayer. "I was just looking for a chance to play anywhere this summer. The fact that it's the Red Sox, the hometown team, the team I've been rooting for all my life makes it that much sweeter." "I was playing a round of golf with my buddies. It was my brother that called me and he said, 'You're a Red Sox.' I was completely astounded, I said, 'No way,' but I got a call from the scout a minute after that and my dreams were confirmed." Bayer finished his 2-year career at Trinity with a record of 21-1 and an ERA of 1.07. He recorded 165 strikeouts in 176.1 innings pitched and was the 2009 Division III Pitcher of the Year. link

Veteran Member Posts: 2635 06/11/09 5:55 PM Veteran Member	The Red Sox selected Sallis, who will be a junior this season, in the 47th round with the 1,428th overall pick. He was the only current UA Fort Smith player to be drafted during the 50-round, three-day affair. Sallis, who is from Muskogee, Okla., is a two-year starter for the Lions. The speedy 5-foot-8 infielder played in 46 of the Lions' 58 games this past spring and batted .280 (42 for 150) with 10 doubles, one home run and 23 RBIs. Sallis drew a team-high 37 walks and, most importantly, had a team-high 38 stolen bases in 42 attempts. He was honorable mention All-Region. As a freshman, Sallis played in 50 games and batted .367 (65 for 177) with five doubles, three triples and one home run and 27 RBIs. He was second on the team with 27 steals in 32 attempts. link

Veteran Member Posts: 773 06/11/09 6:14 PM Veteran Member	Local article on Luke Maile: Maile, a University of Kentucky recruit, said if Boston is willing to meet his signing bonus requirement, he's ready to turn pro. "Absolutely," he said. "There's a number out there, regardless of what the round is. You get a plan together and say, 'This amount is going to make me turn pro. If not, I'm going to college.'" Maile was selected in the last hour of the three-day draft, which consisted of 50 rounds. Maile's father Rich, who has used agent Joe Bick as an adviser, said as the draft wore on that his son's signability issues dropped his stock. "We really thought there was a good chance of Luke going in the first five rounds," he said. "Then we were thinking five through eight. After we got to the ninth round, we knew it was going to be a while."

The surgery serves as constant motivation, and he reinforced it with a creative tattoo. He has baseball-like stitches on his surgery scar, accompanied by a slogan: "There are no shortcuts to anyplace worth going."
