Im a normal guy blessed with the ability to hit a baseball. - Sean Casey
Jeremy Sowers was drafted by the Reds, but did not sign. He was then later drafted by Cleveland.
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
ok! That's who I thought it was...but according to http://www.baseball-reference.com/s/sowerje01.shtml he was drafted by the Indians so I was confused.
Thanks

we never signed him.
RHP Jeff Stevens was traded for Brandon Philips. Great trade.

And, at this time, he appears to be a marginal prospect. He can't strike out anyone. I doubt he would ever record an out with our defense behind him.
The rules have changed, too. No longer would failure to sign a first rounder be a disaster - now you get a 1A pick to make up for it. I could see a team in a poor draft year punting a top pick now and getting to make it up the next draft in a better year. Or like the Reds in Sowers year, punting to save money one year planning to make it up the next year. You lose a year of development at most and if the guy is a late signee like Hildenbrandt then you actually wouldn't necessarily be out even the development time.
When I saw this thread, I thought about the John Smiley deal that brought Jim Crowell, Danny Graves, Scott Winchester, and Damian Jackson.
