Their Dad, Gene, is a coach in the Tiger's organization. Shawn and Wade Lamont (Gene's son - not sure if he is still in the organization?) sat behind me at a Tiger's Spring Training game in March. Listening to their conversation, there are a lot worse things to do than spend a summer playing professional baseball. -Sam Eric Roof is the brother of Shawn Roof, Illini Grad, who plays INF for Erie.

Another Avila, pitcher Nick w/ pick 1260, and Jake Porcello (!) with pick 1440. Looks like we’ve taken a few familiar names on Day Three.

Oh and to be fair to Treanor, he was playing with some serious problems...plus he is gaining on Sardinha in the all-important OBP category (.071 to .091)...

We've also run full interviews with Turner and Fields, and we'll be running interviews with Johnson, Mansilla, Murrian, and Hamilton....and we'll be working to get even more of those throughout the weekend.

From Mack Avenue Tigers- "Gaynor is from Western Kentucky, of all places. He knocks the cover off of the ball, and had an OPS just shy of 1.000 as a sophomore to show for it. Oh, his junior year? Slugged 781 for a 1.281 OPS. But before you get too excited, that is the Sun Belt Conference, so don’t make too much of it. Still, the kid can hit, can’t he?" “The numbers he put up this year are really phenomenal across the board. His defense is really solid. He’s just a pretty good all-around prospect. All of his tools, not one of them grades below average on a big-league skill. That’s kind of interesting because that’s a rare kid.” http://www.mackavenuetigers.com/2009/06/10/mlb-draft-tigers-select-andrew-oliver-and-wade-gaynor/ It’s Wade Gaynor, not Traynor.

Wade Boggs + Pie Traynor = Wade Traynor? As far as Wade Traynor is concerned, he has a unbelievable name for a third sacker.

Wade Boggs + Pie Traynor = Wade Traynor?
