I am currently watching the draft on the MLB Network... Selig is giving his opening statements and the Nationals are on the clock officially. I will keep everyone updated as far as today's picks go. I won't be posting all of them, just players from teams within the state and within our conference as well as the top 5. I may also show some bias and throw in the players the Cubs choose.
1. Steven Strasburg, P - Washington Nationals (not a surprise), SDSU
2. Dustin Ackley, OF- Seattle Mariners, UNC
3. Donavan Tate, OF- San Diego Padres, Cartersville HS, Georgia
4. Tony Sanchez, C - Pittsburgh Pirates, Boston College
5. Matthew Hobgood, P - Baltimore Orioles, Norco HS , California
From here on I will post only players that are being drafted from a Louisiana school or within the WAC.

As a sorta Nats fan, Can they actually sign him and thats a big and sign that 10th pick also. These could be big for the program two to three years down the road.
That is the thing. I believe that they wouldn't have taken him if they were sure of his signability. As far as their pick at #10... I don't know.

So they got that extra room in the budget.... they took Drew Storen from Stanford at #10.... not projected as being hard to sign.

By no means to I pretend to know the iner workings of a MLB organization. I wouldn't be able to tell you how it begins.... I am just giving my opinion.

I thought OF from Sac State went ahead of Scheppers for the WAC.
Fresno's Tommy Mendoca is the Texas Rangers 2nd pick
He did... he slipped past me because I didn't think of Sac State as "Cal St. Sacramento"
I just missed Mendonca... probably while I was eating
Day #2 to begin here within the hour. I'm at work and won't be able to follow it too closely. If anyone can keep the WAC and Louisiana draftees updated I would appreciated.
They are mid way through the 10th round and the only WAC player I found was Kyle Bellows from San Jose State (3b) in the 4th round, pick #125
