The breaks sure are annoying. Looks like they're back now.

TB selects Tim Beckham's older brother.

Several Wildcats recruits, such as Andy Burns and Alex Meyer, have dropped, and there was word that Kentucky’s recruits had talked to each other and made a pact that they would go to school unless they received first-round money.

And there goes Harold Martinez to the Rangers in the 19th round. If they can sign him, that'd be amazing.

Looks like the Dodgers popped Zach Cox (prep 3B from Kentucky in the 20th round). And the Red Sox just took RHP Alex Meyer in the 20th too.

The Yankeed draft Venditte again.

As for former Mizzou guys, Jacob Priday was selected in the 11th by Houston, and Ryan Lollis in the 20th by Detroit. Lollis is only a jr. so hopefully he comes back.

 

I was hoping the Cubs would look at Priday, I think he could be like Hoffpauir in this league.

UK, any word on if SIU catcher Mark Kelly is going to get drafted? He had several preseason accolades, but his main question coming into the season was would his power improve and it really didn't.

 

I was quite shocked to see our pitcher Cody Adams get selected in the 2nd round by the Brewers. He has a good arm but he tends to get smacked around a bit.

UK just lost their coach to Mississippi State. Curious to see if that has an impact on those guys or not.

Heh, the Phillies popped a pitcher named Giovany Soto.

I read through Baseball America's draft blog. I kept looking for some mention of the Cubs. You know, where the guys write "This is a good pick for this area." No mention though.
