Re: Jeff Gelalich
His UCLA fact sheet
http://www.uclabruins.com/sports/m-b...ch_jeff00.html and this on his being drafted: http://www.uclabruins.com/sports/m-b...060512aaa.html Interesting sidenote - he's from LaVerne CA and went to Bonita High School where Ewell Blackwell also went to high school. Their mascot, by the way, is the Bearcat. http://www.laverneonline.com/2012/06...brad-eastland/

Re: Jeff Gelalich
Sounds like he can play defense too, which is a must with GABP.
He hit .372, good for 2nd in the Pac 10, you have to respect that. |

Re: Jeff Gelalich
Captain of the UCLA team as well, and I'm impressed with how well he speaks. I can't imagine what I would have sounded like had someone shoved a microphone in front of my face at age 21 or 22.

Re: Jeff Gelalich
I think there's a pretty good chance that Gelalichis the first one to reach the bigs from this class (if it's not one of the college relievers).
I like his contact and his willingness to take a walk. Seems to have decent linedrive power to all fields and while he may never hit 25-40 home runs a season think he could provide a solid 12-15 (maybe even a few more cocasionally). He may nont even profile as a longterm starter, but I could see him being a decent LH'd reserve OF with solid D and some pop off the bench. That's not a bad thing, this year's squad could surely use some one fitting that description. |

Re: Jeff Gelalich
I'd expect Billings to start, but I could see him getting a promotion to Dayton within a week or two if he gets off to a good start.

Re: Jeff Gelalich
Gelalich was named to Baseball America's First Team College All-American team. Impressive.
http://www.baseballamerica.com/today...2/2613590.html Now let's get him signed and playing (for Dayton? Bakersfield?)

Re: Jeff Gelalich
