David Christiansen signs with UM

Congratulations, good luck.

I played with David for a long time, and he must have an amazing work ethic and came into his own physically... about three years ago he never played an inning on our summer team, now look at him. Incredible turn around.

What turn around? It's called reality. Just goes to show what a difference 3 years can do for a player, negatively or positively. The type of player you are as a freshman, does not mean that is how you will be as a junior.

I do not know him, but have friends that do and I undestand he is a fine player.

Hey BigJD39,

Thanks for the post and for the kind things you had to say about David and our family. We had a
great summer of baseball that ended with accepting a terrific scholarship offer from UM. I have very found memories of the days our boys played together and am thankful for having been involved with great families like yours. When something good happens to someone there are people who are happy for you and some who hope you will fail. I'm glad you are happy for David and hope we can catch a CANES game together in the future. ( I will have extra tickets.)

Here is a link to David's High School Website where you can see some pictures from the signing day....

David Christensen is an outstanding talent. Wow, that Douglas high school team is absolutely loaded.

I 'll have to check, but kind of remember David being good before this year. He does play very hard and that's really nice to see in a player with his tools. He can run, field, hit, hit with power and he has a plus arm. (those are the 5 tools) Miami got another good one, but he may get selected early in the draft.

I'm sure he'll be a high draft pick, possibly supplemental first round or second round if he lets teams know he is signable.

And that Douglas team was loaded last year... I mean wow, DiNatale (UCF), Christiansen (UM), and Sean Ochinko (LSU) (who I also played with at the same time as David a few years ago... great player).

Baseball America is very high on him. Good Luck.

Canesbaseballdad,
Congratulations from another Florida family. Have been watching and he is a winner.

Makes us Broward folks proud

Tiger Paw Mom,

Thanks so much for your support. If you happen to come out to a Douglas or CSHS game this spring please introduce yourself.

We are also big fans of #47 and he is in GREAT hands with Coach Sully.(One of the best pitching coaches in the country.)

Clemson’s 2005 Fall Signees include two kids that David has played with quite a bit. Buddy Munroe (Miami Fl) and Addison Johnson (NC) both kids can really play.

We will be following your David’s college career closely and wish him all the best!!!!

Canes,
Thank you! I always make the CSHS/Douglas game when played at CS and will be there if there is no conflict watching or listening to the Tigers. And in 2007 you need to make the trip to Clemson for the game.
This year the Tigers come to Miami. Should be an awesome series, with UM trying to get back at the Tigers.

I know of Buddy, and I know he must be good if Sully found him. He will love Clemson.

Good luck this season.

Keep in touch.

Hey CanesBaseball Dad,

Can't wait to see David in a Canes uniform. I'll take you up on that offer. I'll be at quite a few games this year as I'll make time to see Raben play. Have a great season this year and keep up the good work. Merry Christmas...JD
