Austin Wood - #150 - Detroit Tigers

I'm shocked that Colton Cain and Jonathon Walsh are still on the board here nearing the end of the 7th round. If we can sneak through this draft losing just one recruit (I dont think many actually thought Williams would actually set foot on campus) and possibly one junior (though its no guarantee Belt doesn't return), this team will be deeeep next year.

Of course as I type this, Cain goes in the 8th to the Pirates. If they pay well over slot like they did last year with Grossman, I hope they fail as a franchise.

Local player Paul Goldschmidt of Texas State to Arizona, #247, 8th Round
Brooks Raley(A&M) #200 Cubs
Brock Holt(Rice) #265 Pirates
Ryan Berry(Rice) #266 Orioles
Kyle Volz(Baylor) #288 Boston

 

[Valmy77]

In round 9 only two of Texas' draftees and one of our Juniors have been selected.

So far, so good.

Jacob Cowan, recruit, pitcher at San Jac #296 - Orioles - Round 10

 

[Horn_83]

Recruit Jacob Cowan (JC transfer) was taken by Baltimore in the 10th round.

 

[Valmy77]

Huh? Cowan is not on the list I got from the other thread.

How many people did we sign anyway?

 

[iowahorn11]

Cowan wasn't included in the initial list released by the university, so lots of people forget him.

Josh Prince who played his freshman year at Texas was #105 to the Brewers, 3rd round.

 

[ephorn4]

I have always been bummed about Josh Prince transferring. He was a good one his freshman year and I thought he had a lot of upside. Anyone have any insight into what happened there?

Runey Davis who transferred after his freshman year to Howard JC, #380 to the Cubs - 12th round

 

[Horn_83]

A side note about Howard JC - They went 63-1 on the season to win the Juco World Series

 

[Valmy77]

Is going in round 18 enough to tempt Walsh away from Texas?

 

[DGScott]

found this gem on texags via rice's message board regarding Raley being dfafted by the Cubs

Good gosh, from A&M to the Cubs ... what's next, playing for the '43 Germans?
