The Monks were drafting 34th and 35th in the first round after failing to sign last year's first round pick. We needed to add talent this year and selected college centerfielder Jared Jones and 18 year old starting pitcher Kyle Cooper with our two first round picks. In the second round we selected college shortstop George Bennett, while in the third round we took a chance and drafted 18 year old 3B Victor Avila. He's first round talent with a commitment to go to college, so we'll need to swing for the fences if we expect to sign him.

We rounded out the top five rounds with 18 year old centerfielder Cornell Patterson and 23 year old pitcher Peter Hernandez.

The Monks have started the month 8-4 and maintain a 4 1/2 game lead over the Angels. One of my former Angels' players was in the news this month with Jose Moreno hitting the 300th home run of his career. Moreno is 30 years old and has hit over 30 home runs in seven of the last eight years and is signed through the 2068 season.
