A few different things going on in the background as the Draft takes place, and the result of the latter may well have some bearing on whether anything eventuates from the former.
Here’s who we take:
1.
C Ken O’Dea, 21- A solid backstop both offensively and defensively, he was the player we had realistically earmarked as our first pick and is a really nice pickup for our club.
2.
P Harry Gumbert, 25- Pretty much only pitchers of worth left and Harry was in our eyes clearly the best of them.
3.
P Clyde Shoun, 22- Got the nod in a close-run decision purely on the basis of his left-handedness, a trait hard to find in the league right now.
4.
P Hugh Casey, 21- Hugh was one of those in contention for the previous pick and we are pleasantly surprised when he is still available here.
5.
P Ed Heusser, 25- Given this is the 5th Round we’re talking about, Ed is a real steal. Plus, who could possibly resist a guy with the nickname "The Wild Elk of the Wasatch"?
Let’s see how that leaves the state of play.
