I'll have to keep my eye on the Reynolds kid this weekend if I can pick up any of the college games. Pretty good, they got a kid from Stanford and another (Christensen) who was smart enough to go to Stanford or Georgia Tech :thumbsup:

As you know I am not down with Dan O'Droll. But I do have to give him credit on rebuilding the Rockies farm system. They have an outstanding farm system by just about drafting pitchers, shortstops and first basemen. But it seems that he has to trade them for no name guys that never was and will be and we watch them go on to other teams. Great at getting them in the system but cant get them up in the big leagues it seems.

The Rockies announced on Sunday the signing of 16 Draft choices, including seven of their first 10. They finally made official the signing of high school outfielder David Christensen, who came to a pre-Draft agreement the night before the Rockies chose him in the second round. Also signing were Cal State Northridge right-hander Craig Baker (fourth round), Manatee Junior College outfielder Kevin Clark (sixth), Middle Tennessee State catcher Michael McHenry (seventh), Birmingham-Southern right-hander Brandon Hynick (eighth), LSU right-hander William Harris (ninth) and Lincoln Trail College righty David Arnold (10th).

The top pick, Stanford right-hander Greg Reynolds, can't sign until his club completes NCAA Tournament play. Other unsigned top 10 picks are Miami (Ohio) left-hander Keith Weiser (third round) and Puerto Rico Baseball Academy shortstop Helder Velazquez (fifth).
