I was interested in our 9 & 10 picks from 2006 and how they ended up in 2007. I think Joey Rosas was drafted by Texas in the 43rd round (unsigned). It says then he was in Yavapai (Ariz) JC.</p> <p>So for the Nats to draft him 9th in 2k5 was a big mistake, one of several that draft (with MLB's minimal scouting resources, of course).</p> Very interesting for me.

FWIW, D’Vontrey Richardson is academically inelgible to play baseball this Spring, but under FSU’s sketchy rules, he can participate in Spring football practice.

What does PGCC stand for?

I know this stuff is really hard to track down. (n.b.: Just looking at the draft lists out of curiosity, I was intrigued that Brandon Hamilton went from a 37th round no-name to a first supplemental round pick in 2007. Then, I noticed that Detroit's 2007 Brandon Hamilton is a pitcher from Alabama born 12/25/88 while the Nationals' 2005 Brandon Hamilton was an outfielder from Louisiana born 7/13/86.)</p> Thanks, very interesting stuff.
