A’s Draft Trio of High Schoolers on Day One
Posted on 5 Jun 2012 by Josh Muller.
If there is one constant in the draft philosophy for the Oakland Athletics, it is the clear preference of college players to high school players. In fact, since 1997 the A’s have only drafted one high school player (Jeremy Bonderman) in the first round.

Posted on 6 Jun 2011 by Brett Pietrzak.
Well the MLB Amatuer Draft is right around the corner and the Rockies have some decisions to make. The Rockies will pick 20th in this years draft.
