Virginia Draftees

Yes, Bristow hails from Mills Godwin HS in western Henrico (Richmond area). He was an AFLAC All-American and thought to be a potential first rounder in 2005, looked on at that time more as a 3B/offensive guy, but he slipped a bit through that spring and ultimately opted to go to Auburn. Auburn didn't work out too well, but he transferred to East Carolina and had a great year, focusing on pitching now. Congratulations to him on reaching his goal of being a high pro pick.

Sherridan (W&M) and Hudson (ODU) both go in the 5th.

Congrats to Dan Hudson!!! Going to miss you on the hill at ODU! Going to miss "grasscutter" too. Best of luck!!

Lynn Metheny

Oakton's Evan Frederickson taken before all of these guys. 35th pick by the Braves.

Good luck to him. He's got a world of potential.

I'm not sure how many of you remember the Virginia Storm, Virginia AAU champs in '99 (9U), 2000 (10U), 2001 (11U) or Ty Morrison from that team, his dad Scott was the coach, but Ty was selected 113th overall by Tampa Bay, 4th Round #1 pick. They moved to Hawaii last year and then relocated to Oregon before baseball season started. Congratulations Noodle, we sure missed you at Great Bridge this year.

I didn't catch that one. Thanks

Thanks Lynn, and don't worry, the kid may be moving but we're not going to Montana, Bristol, NC or Chicago! Besides, keeping up with the gossip around here is too much fun.

Bianucci (Auburn/Woodson HS) went to TX in round 8.
Jesse Beal to the O's in Rd 14.

Kyle Long to the White Sox in Rd. 25

Congrats to Ty Morrison as well. My son competed against Ty and the Storm MANY times at 10, 11, 12 and 13!!!!!

Congrats to the Morrison family!!!!

Paul Clemens in round 7. (220 overall).

From Robinson HS in Fairfax and Louisburg College.

congrats to Evan Scott, Battlefield HS, #1129 overall to the Angels in the 37th round

congrats to Austin Stadler, picked up in the 40th round by the Giants, #1197 overall

congrats to Daniel Marrs, selected by the Phillies in the 40th round, #1216 over-all

How crazy is that: teammates picked in the same round. Congrats to all...

Congrats to Pete Levitt, Cape Henry ' 07 and PITT CC. 50th Round by the Chicago Cubs I believe.

Kenny Moreland, CNU, undrafted but immediately called and signed by the Baltimore Orioles as a free agent, heading to Florida Sunday. What an up and down day!

Michael Bowman, Trey Barham, and Mike Roberts from VMI.

Hokieone!

Thanks for the great news about Kenny Moreland!

Enough exclamation points for you? I was so hoping he would be drafted and then hoping he would sign as a free agent. Never expected it to be so quick.

How great...

spartan, the braves didnt even have the 35th pick overall. the brewers did

Yep. Evan Frederickson was drafted by the Brewers in the Comp. A round. (35 overall)

Ronnie LaBrie from D3 Lynchburg College goes to the Nats in the 40th round.

Jared Bolden from VCU goes in the 10th round to the Rangers.

Beamer Weems (Princess Anne High School and Baylor University) drafted in the 8th round by the Oakland A's

Saw on that Eric Fornataro from Richmond, Va signed with the Cardinals yesterday. Where did he go to high school in Richmond?

Mills Godwin.

Per VirginiaPreps.com, Mikey O'Brien has signed with the Yankees. A big loss for Winthrop, but congrats to Mikey!
