news and notes:
-
The Chicago Cubs stun nobody and take CF Edd Roush first overall and 1b Jack Fournier number two. The Cubs just landed their number 3 and number 4 hitter for the next decade. They may now be able to compete with the Reds and the Cardinals -
This years draft had a couple of big hitters and big throwers on the top, but the middle had big upside/small present production type players.
-
The Giants took OF Joe Connolly with the 8th pick and despite being 28, he might be the steal of the draft. He could really help the Giants this year and he is a very mature player.
-
The Browns took Catcher Wally Schang with the 13th pick. Schang is the rare breed of great catcher and superb hitter. He is going to be a star in this league.
