[personal] [Husker] MLB Draft Update

[Skylar Dodds]

Hello Husker Fans,

JV> The fact that Watson got drafted so late and that Werhle has not been
JV> drafted at all at this point is VERY, VERY good news for the Huskers and
JV> unless they are offered bonuses well outside of the norm for the round
JV> they were drafted I would say it is more than likely they will return
JV> for 2007.

I wonder how much in bonus money Jensen may have cost himself by
staying his senior year, if any, does anyone remember how high he was
drafted and what he was offered last year? I don't remember, but
usually Juniors get a higher bonus and draft position based on the
fact that they can go back to school if they don't like the offer.

Also, even though Gorsett was taken in rnd 7, I wouldn't be completely
surprised to see him come back, as I think he would have gone earlier
had he stayed healthier the whole season (assuming his back pain cost
him a good 2nd half of the season).

I think Watson and Wehrle will probably be back as they will only be
Jrs next year and will be able to increase their draft position and
not have to give up their bargaining chip of being able to go back to
school.

Thank you for the update, I hadn't been able to keep track as I'm at
work all day!
