Former SID Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Just because they are drafted, doesn't mean they are 100% gone, does it? No... but think back to 2008 when we had five players (two juniors and three signees) drafted after the 20th round. All five signed. If none of them sign, we might make a serious run at Omaha last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish333 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 You are exactly right Chris..... That draft did a lot of damage...... our program is still recovering from that draft. But we have an ace in the hole....Rob Walton. Irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hopefully, a few of the drafted ORU signees won't sign....kids with a college scholarship in their back pocket have leverage against the ball clubs.....they can get the $$$ they want or just threaten to go to college for 3 years which in most cases is the best thing for them anyway.....anybody know if Saladino will stay at ORU for his Sr. year or is he likely to sign with the White Sox?....

ORUalum Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Day two brings more calls for locals Boca Raton's Alexander Gonzalez among Broward, Palm Beach County players selected during second day of MLB Draft As the second day of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft got underway, Alexander Gonzalez's phone really started ringing. A few hours in, the Boca Raton standout got the call he really wanted. But in the 11th round when the Baltimore Orioles used the 328th overall pick to select Gonzalez, the pitcher could barely hear his own name on the computer speakers. "My family all just started screaming," Gonzalez said. "I got kisses and slaps on the back. It was a really intense moment for all of them. My parents went crazy." Gonzalez, an Oral Roberts signee, was the first high school player from either Broward or Palm Beach County selected Tuesday. ... Now, Castellanos, Jackson and Gonzalez — like so many high school players across the country — will be forced to decide whether to sign a professional contract or play in college. Gonzalez went 4-6 with a 2.48 ERA this season. But he struck out 69 batters in 65 innings pitched and performed well during summer ball, earning the attention of Orioles scouts who came to watch one of his teammates — highly touted Miami Brito shortstop and FIU signee Manny Machado. Machado was selected by the Orioles with the third overall pick. "The Orioles had their whole staff come to watch him and I pitched that game and they saw me," Gonzalez said. "I'm happy and I knew something good was going to come out of the draft." full story: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/high ... 4425.story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'm always reminded this time of year how Darryl Strawberry was signed to an LOI by Oklahoma State before being drafted by the Mets. Anybody higher profile than that who slipped through the cracks for a local team? Seems like we've had a couple of signees ourselves who never made it to campus, and instead ended up in the bigs...

theeagleman5 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hard to believe that a 41st rounder would get much of a signing bonus....Beeler would be better off coming back and having a good year and prove he's fully recovered from the arm surgery....plus, the Cubs stink....

After that Cubs comment, I no longer have any interest in his outlook on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
