Fungo- sincerely happy for all of you! Not surprised though! Congrats!

Fungo....hard work, perseverance....added to talent...and your guidance....a wonderful combination that has paid off! Congratulations to you, your son and family. We are very happy for you....

Best of luck to "lil" Fungo. We wish him the very best.

to Josh and to Fungo. Here's hoping contract terms can be agreed upon quickly (and favorably ) so that Josh will be on his way to Dunedin Fla. for mini-camp and his first professional assignment.
Fungo, better get those airline routes figured out. Know from experience that the Jays' affiliates are closer to Toronto than CA or Ala...but it has helped the frequent flyer plan.

Congrats to all the Fungo family. Way to go, Josh!!!

Congrats to Josh & Fungo!!

Fungo...

Exciting day congratulations

Josh & Fungo

Congratulations!!!!!!!



Time to celebrate, time to live the dream. Enjoy every moment of it.

I appreciate the congratulatory remarks and I’ve passed them on to Josh. A special thanks to those that have offered to help me understand the process and I do expect to call on their experiences. It has been a hectic couple of days. I’d like to say the draft is a funnel of talent and all can't get through the funnel at the same. There were MANY talented players that didn’t get a call and I hope they will get their chance soon. Plus, I know this is nothing more than an opportunity for my son and the work and sacrifices are just beginning.
Thank You,
Fungo

There is no more deserving young man (and family) in the country. Josh Bell will do well!

I add my congratulations to the entire Bell family...

Way to go and congrats to Josh and his fine parents!!!

I think the Lansing Lugnuts are with the Blue Jays. They will be playing across the street from us (in Cedar Rapids) at some point.

Tell Josh to stop in if he makes a stop here. We'll give him a pointer or two

It really is fun watching a lot of these young players who end up coming through here. Just saw FutureDbackMom's son pitch about a week ago.

Fungo and Josh.......fabulous news; awesome! Congratulations from Michigan!

Hooray for Josh! Guess Coach knew what he was saying with all that "no need for a scholarship next year" stuff!

So he'll be with the Lugnuts? Great!! My mom already has tickets to the July 22 game against Peoria -- if I get a chance, will try to shout a Hello into the dugout (if Big Lug the mascot doesn't come after me).....

Based on the way the BJays handled things last year, seems pretty likely Josh and the other high picks who sign early will go to Auburn, NY. and be a DoubleDay in the NY/PENN league. This year, nearly everyone from Auburn but the 1st and supplemental 1st started in Lansing as "Lugnuts." What a great franchise and City. Oldsmobile Park is fantastic and so are the fans. Combine that with the talent that gets assigned to the Midwest League and you have some very fine baseball being played by a lot of future major leaguers and we all hope Josh will end up being one of them.

Luke, I just got home from my travels with the team. First, I would like to add my congrats to Josh for being drafted. He deserves this honor and I wish him the best for the next steps he makes going to the next level. We (Jeremy and I) hope the successes continue on for him. Secondly, I conratulate you and your wife for a great job ....well done. Please pass our best to Josh....again what a thrill...Josh you made it.

Way to go Josh!!! I can't even imagine how excited you and your family are. You make this War Eagle fan living in TN proud!!!!

How terrific to see all of all of Josh's hard work and Luke's unparalleled counsel lead to this. It'll be a lot of fun watching Josh succeed on and off the field.
