Local Boys Done Good (College/Pro)

Way to go Phil! Great, hard-working kid who's an amazing hitter.

Congrats, but knowing Phil the Preseason accolade should be meaningless.

Hopefully he gets it done and can earn the postseason award.

CPLZ, nice heads up on Phil. Looked at your link and see that he's joined by Naperville Central's Colin Bates (U of NC Chapel Hill). Congrats to both.

Casey Crosby is ranked as the #2 prospect in the Tiger's organization after a very good season in class A ball.

Thx for the info pudge and congrats to Casey that is great news.

Christian Friedrich LHP 2005 Loyola Grad, 2008 1st round draft(Rockies) and July Baseball America #1 Hottest Prospect has been invited to Big League Camp for the Colorado Rockies. Many scouting web sites claim he will eventually become a # 1 starter in the big leagues.

Congrats Chris

I was always surprised the Friedrich didn't get the love from the baseball media that seemed so deserving of a person dominating the way he was. Everyone I knew that saw the kid personally did nothing but rave about him. Based on those discussions, I doubt any of those people are the least bit shocked by him being prognosticated as a future MLB #1.

Adam Rosales (Maine South) involved in a trade today.

Nice start by Conner Powers this weekend for Miss State as he goes 5-10 with 2 home runs and a double.

From the 2/26/2010 Daily Iowan as Iowa heads to Florida for the Big 10 Big East Challenge:


Junior outfielder Kurtis Muller will try to continue his 14-game hitting streak, and sophomore second basemen Mike McQuillan hopes to build on his torrid start as well. McQuillan is batting .500, with two home runs and seven RBIs, and he has a 1.083 slugging percentage.

Tuzi - Congrats on a good day against ND.

Thanks, he'll take any good day he can get.
