That whole OSU lineup was loaded this year.

 

That's the fourth Cowboy hitter chosen, if I remember correctly.

 

Mangini, Brown, Mach and now Wright.

he is interesting. only 18 walks in 202 AB's, but only 23 K's. So basically he hits the ball everytime he comes up to bat, its just a question if he makes an out or not.

Here's an article on Wright-some fluff in there, but some info as well. Seems he's a converted outfielder who struggled defensively in the infield but has been really good in the outfield:

He has some pop in his bat, I like the pick.

I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying I think the Cubs have focused heavily on college players under Wilken's drafts. What are we at this year, Vitters and 7 college guys?

[E.J.]

Didn't we pick Marquez Smith in last year's draft as well? Or am I thinking of someone else?

 

He's getting ready to play in the College World Series Super Regionals on ESPN if anyone's interested in seeing him play.

Chris Carpenter is falling like crazy

Chris Carpenter is falling like crazy

 

He had a very bad outing against Missouri in their regional. He has been hurt almost all year as well.

277 Clark Hardman, CF, CS Fullerton

Not a good first impression.

 

Weird timing, I wonder if he heard he was drafted before going up there.

Hardman's stats:

another good pick. tore the cover off of the ball all year.

Clark Hardman is such an awesome name

Yeah, I watched that game and he didn't look very good at all. No control, then he got rocked when the order came back around in the 6th.

Another college OF drafted, Leon Johnson from BYU.
