January 10th...With the first pick of the 2001 First Year Player draft the Milford JetHawks select Outfielder Cristobal Cuevas...

January 11th - The Milford Chronical
The JetHawks who finished 2000 with a 53 and 109 record, hsave selected Crisotbal Cuevas with the first pick in the 2001 First Year Player draft. The Jethawks who are loaded with young talent, but are in desperate need of someone who can play up to that talent have added the Cuban defect Cristobal Cuevas to the roster. Cuevas who plays outfield will be competing with Robert Parrish, Santo Batista, Leo Alvarez and Bill Schnieder for some playing time.

The JetHawks in dire need of Releif pitching selected Cuevas, according to GM Anthony Wayne, because the pitching talent was very low in this draft and they thought Cuevas could step in and help out. No pitchers were drafted in the first 20 picks.

"We are very happy to have Cristobal with us here in Milford. He will fit in very nicely with our team here. When we saw him at the camp in TJ (Tijuana, Mexico) we new he was something special." Wayne said.

Cristobal Cuevas was just as happy to be selected by the Jethawks as they are to have him "I am so happy. I can't wait till the first day of spring training. I want to put my glove and spikes on and have fun.", Cuevas said, "I am glad to be a part of team. We will be winning games in Milford very soon!"

With the acquisition of Cuevas the Jethawks now have 6 outfielders ready or just about ready to make it. Maybe thats good news for them, so they can use one or more of these guys as trade bait and bring in pitching. What they really need. After losing 109 games last year, the Jethawks are looking to turn things around. We are tired of "rebuilding" and we want to win!

Here are the rest of the Jethawks picks:
Round 2: Morton Duffey, Pitcher
Round 3: Ronald Yearicks, Pitcher
Round 4: Eddie Fairbanks, Outfielder
Round 5: Christopher Ingle, Pitcher
Round 6: Michael Davis, Infielder
Round 7: Pat Labrie, Pitcher
Round 8: Francisco Navarro, Pitcher
Round 9: Billy Dillon, Pitcher
Round 10: Brian Grubb, Pitcher
