Well, I just got back from my high school graduation. You might ask what relevance that has to the draft, and I'll tell you :P

 

Right before we were going to walk in, someone in my class, Ryan Kalish, was drafted by the Red Sox with the 283rd pick (9th round) in the draft. I guess he had been told before that they were going to pick him, and naturally pulled a Red Sox hat out of his pocket. All of the seniors went crazy of course, and lets just say this graduation was rather memorable :P

 

As a White Sox fan #1 and Yankees #2, I absolutely hate the Red Sox. However, that is a pretty kickass story...I can just imagine the scene.

 

Oh, and congrats on graduation. :cheers

It's weird seeing these guys younger than me.

 

You think that's weird? Try these on for size!

 

Kipp Schutz and Adam Rogers played in the Little League I used to coach in. Preston Mattingly played in a crosstown league and I saw him in all-stars often. Nathan Arnold who did not get drafted, but will likely sign as a free agent this week was the best pitcher on my team as a 12 yr old. The catch is that last time I saw these guys:

 

Schutz (26th round draftee) was 8 years old.

Mattingly (31st pick overall) was 8 years old.

Arnold and Rogers (31st round pick) were 12 years old.

 

I am not sure how this happened, because I am no older than I was then!
