I counted 15 high schoolers and 7 middle infielders. Good thing we have all those middle infield prospects. And 6 of the top 19 were southpaws. Returning to our old ways, perhaps? I'm not sure which of these guys fell due to signability but I hope a number of them were. __________________ - Michael I want to believe

Keep your eyes on 8, 13, 14, 18, and 19. Signability, or whatever you want to call it--all high school guys, all with talent in different stages of development, expected to go to college. 8 was injured earlier in the year or probably would have gone higher. 14 is supposed to go to Maryland. If they drafted them that high, it seems as if it might be part of a plan and they are going to make a serious run for all of them. Here's an article on 19. Aren't we back to seven minor league teams, with one at the Gulf Coast again? If they have a new overall strategy to spend money on high school kids and set up a sort of a baseball academy approach with the two rookie league teams and Aberdeen, that might work. I'm interested to see what happens. __________________ Ampontan Japan from the Inside Out http://ampontan.wordpress.com/

Zagone(6), Gurka(15), and Durakis(37) are now on Aberdeen's roster. Gamboa(21), Kantakevich(22), Barajas(26), Sexton(31), Keating(34), Eastham(36), Phelps(38), Phillips(42), Conley(17), Welty(20), Britton(35), and West(39) are on Bluefield's. (Has any team drafted more players named Britton than the O's?) The GCL O's roster hasn't had any draftees added yet (their first game is Thursday). Billy Rowell is the only teenager on Frederick's roster. Or Delmarva's, Aberdeen's or Bluefield's...

I've used your input to update the above list. I also got my Google News Alert set up - apparently the Web Proxy at work was interfering with the addition of the alert.

How's that for Internet dingleberry picking one-upmanship! He was hurt at the time and the O's signed him anyway with the idea of waiting for him to recover. Looks like it took a while. __________________ Ampontan Japan from the Inside Out http://ampontan.wordpress.com/
