They draft these guys back in June but all the deals take until the last minute which is ridiculous. Baseball players aren't like other sports so these guys wouldn't get signed and go to the Majors immediately (albeit rarely it does happen) but if they came in sooner there's a change they'd be available for a September http://www.deathmetalthunder.com/2009/08/baseball-draftees-signed.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (the purveyor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579985.post-255672226205543237Sun, 16 Aug 2009 19:16:00 +00002009-08-22T08:22:46.141-05:00the closertai chidrinkingI believe Tai Chi headed out several hours ago; I'm still recovering from the blur that was Friday night to Saturdaynight.
