    I'll repost this article. I can't believe this guy did not go on the first day. I would make him the pick in the 19th round.

    ECU'S Ryan Jones Named a Finalist for Dick Howser Trophy

    06/04/2004

    CHICAGO - East Carolina senior DH/OF Ryan Jones has been named as one of 10 finalists for the Dick Howser Trophy, given to collegiate baseball's top player. The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, which works in association with the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce on the award, released the list of the 10 finalists for the trophy today. The membership of the NCBWA will choose the Dick Howser Trophy based on three rounds of voting. The 2004 winner will be announced at the College World Series in Omaha on Friday, June 18 at 9:30 a.m. CDT.

    Jones was named the 2004 Conference USA Player of the Year after hitting .409 heading into the conference tournament and finishing league play hitting .407 in conference. Currently, he leads the nation in slugging percentage (.834) with 46 of his 80 hits serving as extra-base hits including 24 doubles, four triples and 18 home runs for a team-high 66 RBI. Jones posted 24 multiple hit games and 14 multiple RBI games.

    On Thursday, Jones was named a first team All-American by Louisville Slugger/Collegiate Baseball.

    The other finalists include: Rutgers P Jeff Frazier, Nebraska 3B Alex Gordon, Ole Miss 1B/P Stephen Head, Texas P J.P. Howell, Rice P Philip Humber, Virginia UT Joe Koshansky, Stanford 2B Jed Lowrie, South Carolina C Landon Powell and Long Beach State P Jered Weaver.

    The Dick Howser Trophy, given in memory of the former Florida State University All-America shortstop and major league player and manager who died of brain cancer in 1987, is regarded by many as college baseball's most prestigious award.

    Criteria for consideration for the trophy include performance on the field, leadership, moral character and courage, qualities that were exemplified by Dick Howser's life.

    Josh Newman, a LHP out of OSU, was taken a couple of picks later.

    Then Texas takes Marc Cornell out of OU right after that.

    The Moneyball teams are still taking college players, BTW.

    By my count, Oakland took two HS players, Toronto just one. Boston only one as well.

    The Reds, on the other hand, took six.

    Six in the first eighteen rounds.

    The Reds took Robert Cuello, a catcher out of some fairly esoteric school in Niceville, FL, in round 20. He's either a JC guy or a college player.

    The Royals took a pitcher out of Mount Union Nazarene College in the 20th round. Right after that, Arizona took a prep outfielder out of Princeton, Indiana.

    The Cubs took a pitcher named Micah Owings in round 19. He is a draft eligible college sophmore out of Ga.Tech, who TeamOne thinks is a round 2-3 talent. I'm guessing signability will be an issue.

    OKALOOSA WALTON CC is what MLB.com lists for Coello.
