Great Job Brian. From my count we drafted 6 LHP, 14 RHP, 1 2B, 6 SS, and one each of RF, LF, 1B & 3B in the first 30 rounds with 21 college and 10 HS. How many of them plus tomorrow’s 20 picks will sign & play in the farm system this year? Last year was a low signability and in 2007 we were quite successful.

In Rd 23 Kyle Breault is a SS from Northville MI not TX. He played in So California until his Senior year then moved to MI to have fine senior season.

Mr. Breault, Im assuming you are his father. First off congrats, it has to be a great feeling. Just curious, is your son interested in signing or is he locked in on college?
