[Mr. Ypsi]

Derek David with the River City Rascals in Missouri

Not so much. David played one game, went 0-for-3 and was released.

Talk about a tough crowd.

That's what I was thinking.

I wonder how many MLB HoFers started their careers at 0-3 (or worse) - I'm guessing close to 50%.  There's gotta be more to this story than that!

Here is a little update from the Frontier League for Andy Clark from Franklin College.

He is now 3 - 0 after four starts, has an 2.67ERA, 27 innings pitched, 7BB's, 21 KO's and opponent batting average of .206.

Just seen where Dan Remenowsky of Otterbein signed with Windy City of the Frontier League yesterday.

I noticed that he is the starting pithcer in their game today that is going on right now.

Try going to MLB.com. Might be able to get something from Baseball America or Perfect Game, but I'm not sure about either one of those. Also check the individual sites for each MLB team. Good Luck to your son.

Andy had a decent year with the Freedom.They had to move him to the bullpen the last three weeks of the season due to arm fatique.

He ended up finishing in the top ten lowest ERA in the league for innings qualified.

Hopefully will get a shot to sign with an affiliated team during the off season or next year.

What are fans hearing about the 2009 draft?

[DSKSlugger]

Chez Angeloni And Todd Emr of Johns Hopkins both have good chances. Dave Fioretti of JHU was also scouted several times throughout the year.

Another centennial conference player was drafted last year and returned for another season, it will be interesting to see what happens with him. I think his name is Laganowski.

I have heard there is a knuckle baller that scouts like in the CC as well, but i don't know his name... let me know

that should be it from the CC

GOOD LUCK TO ALL.

What does DSK stand for?

[DSKSlugger]

... Thats personal.

Wayde Kitchens' injury should affect his draft outlook. I would have expected him to be one of the D3 17 or 18 drafted this year and the next Chapman player to follow RHP and UTL Kurt Yacko.

regarding the lefty from Cortland, Matt Tone, does anyone close to the action have an update on his draft stock. I know he has the stuff and the buzz with scouts in the past.

Another question... This is a player i have not seen in person. Does Jeremiah Bayer have the stuff, namely the velocity, to get drafted b/c his numbers and accolades are ridiculous. (NOTE: It is extremely difficult to have such a minuscule ERA, i am a bit curious about the number of unearned runs he allowed this year - i think it is unusually high, especially for trinity who typically play elite Defense except for they're uncharacteristic performance in the 09 CWS. Does anyone else share this opinion? He gave up only 9 ER in 30 R total)

looking for more draft updates... there are typically 16-19 D3 draftees and then a number of players who sign after the draft if i remember recent history correctly.
