Sooners in the Draft

Just heard he signed.

 

Picks in the first 10 rounds just don't go unsigned any longer.

 

Nottingham and Kohler have also signed. No surprise, but it always stings for a second.

 

I really, really want our OU pitcher to come to Tulsa Drillers. Any idea where he's headed first? Here's a list of Rockies affiliates:

AAA: Colorado Springs Sky Sox
AA: Tulsa Drillers
Advanced A: Modesto Nuts
A: Asheville Tourists
Short season A: Tri-City Dust Devils

btw, minor league team nicknames kick arse

 

My guess is that he'll go a Class A short season league and then probably to the Tulsa Drillers sometime later in the summer.

 

He's headed to Grand Junction for rookie ball first. (You left that off the Rockies minor league affiliates.)

 

No chance he plays for the Drillers this season.

 

Jake Fisher has signed with Dodgers and is to report to their Ogden affiliate in Pioneer League today.

 

FYI - Trey M. signed and has already flown out for pro assignment

 

I just saw on the Baseball America draft signees link, and former OU player Hunter Lockwood, who transferred to Weatherford JC, signed a pro deal. Pitching prospect Alec Hansen (Loveland, Colo.) hasn't signed with the Rockies, but junior pitcher Billy Waltrip did.

How is OU doing with its recent JUCO signings? I'd have to know some names so I could search the same site.
