BP, I remember reading somewhere just a few days ago that Billy Wagner was I believe the 12th overall pick when he was selected. I've been looking through the site at past pages trying to find it and make sure but have been able to do so. I'll keep checking til my prep period is done!  Only 3 more days til summer  8)

Wagner was indeed the 12th overall pick, according to the Ferrum website: http://www.ferrum.edu/athletics/Pros.htm

Draft day fellas!  I've been told through pretty reliable sources that Husing and Livek should both go today.  They are telling Jacob Husing anywhere from the 12-15th round, while Livek will go late because he was a late bloomer and is a senior.

Livek is the first CCIW player taken in this year's draft. He went to the Yankees in the 28th round (874th pick).

North Park's Guillen Oney(Son of Ozzie Guillen) became the second CCIW player selected in the draft. He went to (No surprise here) the Chicago Whitesox.

Congrats to Jeff Livek! After only being used sparingly his first 2 years, he got his chance and all the hard work paid off. Good luck, make us proud!!

[Mr. Ypsi]

I'm a bit surprised (though as a Titan fan, also relieved! ) that Ricky Angel was not selected.  Guess you guys will have to deal with him for another year!

I'm not familiar with Guillen Oney - would you guys assess this as a legitimate pick or a gesture to his dad (something certainly not unprecedented in the later rounds)?

He does not appear on the North Park roster so I would guess it was latter of the two.

[REDMENFAN]

I know he was on the NP squad during the 2006 season, but I'm pretty sure I remember Sager saying he wasn't on the roster for this year.  I'm only judging him on a double header I saw him play, but IMO it was definitely just a nice gesture from the White Sox.  I'm pretty sure he hit below .300 last year as well

Like father ...

Ha!

Who is going to get the North Central Baseball job? Any top candidates?

[SouthPaw]

They are down to 4 or 5 top candidates and it should be announced fairly soon maybe as early as the end of this week.
