Michigan Players taken in 2011 draft
Two Michigan softball players were taken in the professional draft held this weekend: Dorian Shaw and Jordan Taylor. Dorian was chosen by the Chicago Bandits, while Taylor went to the USSA Pride.
Dorian was the fourth overall pick of the draft and the second infielder chosen. She is the fifth Wolverine to be selected in the first round.
Jordan was taken in the third round and was the fourth pitcher off the board.
Congratulations Ladies.

I'm fine with your enthusiasm for the softball team, but can you at least put "softball" in the thread title from here on out?
I just have learned to assume that any thread started by MGoSoftball is about softball.

assumption. UM Football is the best team in the world, without a doubt. My contribution to the FB discussion is minute.
However, the UM softball team is something special too. We just might get our next NC from SB, possibly this year. It just so happens that I know just as much about college SB as I do FB. So I want the "non-SB" people to get familiar with this game and give the ladies some much-deserved love.

Right, but you still have to click the thread to see the author/content.

Not if you view the board from either the Recent Posts feature or the MGoBoard tab.
Seriously ?!? Professional...softball. Wow.

If said Professional Softball Association has alot of Jenny Finch to look at, I am all for watching it and paying to do so.

Don't give an already-evil industry too many ideas.

for sure. She is still a dominating pitcher and she is a small framed woman. Nice, real nice Clark.

Taylor was drafted relatively low, considering her skills. That's because she has an invite to try out for the national team.

Professional softball is not much of a money maker for players, but it probably helps their resumes if they want to coach or run an academy.
comes from endorsements. Nike, Easton, and Rawlings pay big bucks to these women.
