Didn't someone say that district 9-5a would have a high round draft pick. I can't remember who the pick was. It seems like it was UTPANAM or someone associated with the 9-5a district. It would be interesting to know if anyone knows.

Chris Martin, Arlington High, 18th round, Tigers
troy patton in the 9th round i believe. think he'll sign or go to UT?
B.J. Szymanski.OF.. WF Rider/Princeton, 2nd round- Cincinnati Reds
TxDad -- UTPANAM loved to throw around schtik....at one point, he proclaimed that 9-5A would have the #1 overall pick! I continually challenged him on it.....but he would never discuss it further.
It looks like the only 9-5A pick on day 1 was.....ummmmm....Eric Ridener (formerly of Plano East), who was drafted in the 8th round by Pittsburgh.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....UTPANAM has retired, I think.

Congrats to Montgomery's Brandon
Allen. Brandon was the 1st Houston area high school player chosen in the draft. It's great to see good things happen to good kids.
Be good,
David

Panther Dad,
Thanks for the info. I thought he was the one saying that there would be a high round draft pick from the district.

Was surprised that Clark wasn't a low round pick.
Here are a few more locals... Congrats!!

Has Linebaugh been drafted yet, read something about him & the draft the other day but couldn't find that article today. Whats going on with him ?
Has Preston Clark been selected ?
don't think either one has been as of yet- not sure why.
No Linebaugh, Blue, or Clark......yet. No Arrieta or Bishop or Corgan.
CJ and Drew are injured and Preston's is a question of signability.
I think it is a mistake to think that kids were somehow "over-rated" if they are not drafted. Not that anyone is doing that here.....but some read too much into this process.
Having said that, I thought someone would take a "flyer" on Clark. Apparently, a few teams were poised to call his name in rounds 8-10, but UT baseball is an attractive alternative.

I can't speak for Preston, but I can tell you Randall's situation. Randall signed a NLI with every intent of going to Baylor unless he was given life changing money. That is what we told Coach Smith and we had no reason to change that position. All the scouts that I spoke with were given a round or bonus money it would take to get him to sign, obviously knowone felt he was at that level. We did receive two calls during the draft to see if our position had changed and if we would sign for a certain amount, we declined. We aren't interested in a DNF, playing in Baylor is going to be a great atmosphere and close to home. Don't get me wrong we would have loved to hear Randall's name called out, but we will wait 3 years and see what happens.
Preston is a great talent, along with several other area players that I haven't heard called, I am sure some of their stories are similar to ours.
Congradulations to all area guys that did get drafted!!!

Texas is certainly well represented.
Congratulations to all these fine ballplayers! Hope all your dreams are fulfilled!

clark was called in the ninth round, the offer was not appealing so he said no thanks so he was drafted later down the road hoping hed take a draft and follow deal
Kevin,
I hate to sound like sour grapes, but once again the Wichita Falls area is overlooked on this site. Although you obviously spent a good bit of time compiling your list, you left off the #10 Texan taken in the draft. Former WF Rider star, B.J. Szymanski (Princeton), was the 48th player taken in the draft as the 7th pick in round 2 by the Reds. This is the 2nd Wichita County player taken on the first day of the draft in three years. Iowa Park pitcher Chase Wright was taken in the 3rd round by the Yankees in 2002. Another former Rider star, Jeff DeMontel, was drafted by the Marlins in 2002 and is currently making his way up the minor league ladder.

Teagarden will be at UT for at least one more year -- I know he played a lot of 1B -- sharing time with Thigpen there and behind the plate.
I assume Preston and Taylor will do likewise in 2005, although I'm not sure Clark has seen any action from other defensive positions (1B, 3B?). Obviously DH is another option for Augie -- it's good to be king, eh?
Nine Longhorns drafted yesterday -- wow. It seems that if you pay your dues there, pro baseball will be an option.

I didnt leave Szymanski off the list on purpose or anything like that, he's not listed as a Texan...he's listed under New Jersey since that is where Princeton is. As far as I can tell, the source I got my info from only listed Texas hs or Texas college players, not Texans playing out of state.
Thanks Governor!!!
Thanks for you time.
Excellent!!!!
Thanks for you time.
Excellent!!!!
Another Texan overlooked on this list is David Purcey, LHP chosen in the first round, #16 overall. Purcey is a product of Trinity Christian Academy in Addison, Tx who strayed across the border to OU.
Steven Sherman -- formerly of Plano High School and Richland College, before finishing at UNC-Ashville -- was drafted in Round 26 by the Cardinals.
Congratulations Steve and family!

8Baugh Dad, I admire that yall stuck to your guys during the draft. As a big Baylor baseball fan and supporter I am excited about Randall being a Bear and am looking forward to watching him play next year. The Baylor ballpark is indeed a special place and next year has a chance to be a special season.
Congrats and good luck.

Thanks!!! We have been to several games at the Ballpark and it is indeed quite an atmosphere. The Bears have one of the best facilities in the Nation and Randall is really looking forward to the Challenge. I know the guys were very dissappointed with how things ended up this year, so many one run games!
See you on the Baylor message board someday.

It was a frustrating season indeed. However the talent is there to go far. I look for the experience of this season and the hunger it will instill to really help us next year.
If you come to Waco any during Fall ball come down and introduce yourself above the home dugout. Several of us will be in attendance at most intrasquads. I've made some great lifelong friends through BU baseball. You'll also need to join us next season for tailgating. A great time is most definitely always had by all.

Another Texan who was drafted is LHP John Rodriguez (more commonly known as Craig Rodriguez when he was in high school). He was drafted in the 31st Round by Tampa Bay (915th overall). Craig is a 2003 graduate of Houston St. Pius X High School, where he helped his team win the TAPPS Class 5A State Championship his senior year. He played at Pearl River CC (I believe that is in Mississippi) this past season.
