It's draft day!
Okay, so the MLB draft isn't nearly as exciting as the NFL or NBA draft - with so many rounds (I repeat - so. many. rounds.), so many levels many guys have to pass through to one day maybe have an at-bat in the big leagues, and did I mention all the rounds the draft has? Because there are a lot of them - it can still be fun. Baseball is one of the few sports that a school like WKU can have some instant national notoriety - schools like Louisiana Lafayette (who as two wins away from a College World Series appearance this year), Rice, FAU, etc. have had success and all spent time in the Top 25 this year.
One guy who's name you are going to hear called is Anderson Miller - the question is "when?" Everything I've heard is no lower than the 5th round (which is the equivalent of a late 2nd or early 3rd rounder in the NFL draft), which would be pretty awesome - he can play center field as well as pitch, and by the sound of it, a lot of teams are interested in the pitching arm of Miller.
What about guys like Ryan Church? Cody Wofford? Austin King? Anyone else you can think of that I haven't mentioned?
Keep it here today for all your MLB draft news and thoughts regarding former Toppers, and who knows, maybe we'll see some more #ProToppers added to our ranks before the day ends.
But, before the draft begins (which is tonight at 7, by the way), does anyone have any predictions or thoughts heading into the draft as to where Miller, or anyone else, could go?
