[Husker] More Baseball News

[Jeff Volk]

Greetings,

 

Tony Watson and Ryan Werhle were both named Baseball America 3rd Team
All-Americans today. 

 

As for the MLB Draft, in my haste to get my post out yesterday I
inadvertently listed the start of it as today, when actually it is
tomorrow at 1 pm EST. 

 

Further, Watson and Werhle are both likely to get drafted and both
fairly high. If so I would expect Watson to sign and not return for the
2007 season. Werhle, as a draft eligible Sophomore has a ton of options
and could return for his Junior season. Whether he returns will
obviously be based on who drafts him, where they draft him and how much
of a bonus they offer him. Werhle is probably 50/50 to be back next
season.  

 

Gorsett is also a draft possibility as well. 

 

For those of you REALLY into baseball, MLB.com has an excellent MLB
Draft site at: www.tinyurl.com/qk9up

 

They will broadcast the draft live, including studio analysis. The show
will start at noon EST. 

 

You can also go and see MLB Scouting Bureau video's for almost all
prospects including most of the eligible Huskers. 

 

Good luck to all of the Huskers eligible for the draft as they chase
their big league dreams. 

 

Have a great day. 

 

Go Big Red!
