MLB Draft 2009

Jeff's first draft as a full-time scout has come and gone, and the Diamondbacks drafted 4 guys from Jeff's area! That's freaking awesome!! He's getting each of them to sign a major league baseball so he has a collection, which I think was a fun idea. Keep your eyes and ears open for these up and coming big leaguers: Matt Davidson (3B from Yucaipa HS)

drafted 35th overall. (35 is Jeff's magic number: he wore number 35 for BYU, ASU, the Twins; was drafted in the 35th round to the Twins and now got his first guy drafted 35th overall...so fun!)

David Nick (2B from Cypress HS)

Drafted in the 4th round,

Brad Wilson (RHP from Cal Poly Pomona) drafted in the 33rd round,

and woo hoo Beau Amaral...son of former MLB infielder for the Mariners, amongst others, Rich Amaral (CF from Huntington Beach HS--get 'em oilers) drafted in the 45th round. All of Jeff's hard work paid off...Good Job, Jeffer!!!
