Baseball Players?

Any of you guys play baseball? What's your favorite team? Mine's the Diamondbacks, seeing as I lived in Arizona for five years (including 2001 when they won the World Series on Louis Gonzalez's bloop single in the ninth). :D I also think the Angels are awesome.

 

What's up with Kansas City, though. I thought they were going to pick that big lefty out of North Carolina and now they've suddenly switched to an All-American, multi-sport Notre-Damian. I'm talking about the 2006 Draft, of course. :)

Draft: I don't have any names, but I do keep an eye out for ball players from my alma mater: McNeese State University. The current player of note in the majors is Tribe first baseman Ben Broussard (IF - CLE), although a Cowboy pitcher was taken in the first round of last year's draft.

 

And baseball play-by-play men wonder why the MLB draft doesn't have the coverage that the NFL & NBA get: it's 40 someodd rounds long! No casual fan has that kind of attention span!

Yeah, a kid from my High School was just drafted in the 14th Round by the Dodgers. It's pretty exciting.

 

I, myself, hope to go to College before I am drafted. It increases draft stock and helps with everything. If any of you out there haven't read Moneyball, it's a great book. It has a large portion on the draft that's insanely interesting.
