Draft Signings

MLB Draft

<t>I think we'll see something early tomorrow with a couple of hard-to-sign HSers.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> In 21 we went overslot to get some kids to choose MiLB over their commitment to college football.

MLB Draft

<t>When we drafted Davis a couple of years ago there was a quote by BC about the difficulty of wearing the mantle of 1:1 throughout your career. He talked about the special makeup a player needed to have in order to thrive under that constant pressure. And he felt that Davis was the type of person w...
