Michigan Baseball Prospects MLB Draft

Just to update Brian's earlier post about baseball recruits and the draft: Dan Fields went 180 overall to the Tigers. His 6th round selection would have nearly guaranteed a decision to attend Michigan, but the Tigers will get extra consideration as the hometown team. I've personally seen Dan play numerous times this season, and the guy is a stud. Beautiful swing, good power, plus speed, a rocket arm, and a good glove on this kid. He's also huge, like break my bones with his bear hands huge. I'm sure it will be a tough decision between the Tigers system and Michigan. Derek Dennis went 319 overall to Tampa. His statement about probably going to play for Michigan might have scared teams away - he intended to do this - because he was projected much higher than the 10th round. However, don't count out Tampa. He said they're talking second-round money, and he was looking for around $1.5 million as a signing bonus. Interesting to see how this plays out too. Pat Biondi went 1050 overall to the Tigers. I'd assume this is far too low for him to consider signing, but again, you can't count out the hometown Tigers. That said, I think it's pretty safe he goes to Michigan. I've seen Pat play too this year and he has good pop, great speed, and an absolute cannon of an arm in the outfield.
