Default Congratulations to oilertige's son Marc
Hearty congratulations in order to oilertige and his son Marc who was drafted in the 2nd round, 64th overall, in the Amatuer Baseball Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks..

http://www.ohiobobcats.com/sports/m-...060909aaa.html

He's a 21 year old, lefty-swinging outfielder from the University of Ohio who leads the nation in HR's per game. Best of luck and good health wghen he enters the D-Back system to begin the journey to the bigs. Great accomplishment already...

No. 64, Marc Krauss, OF, Ohio: Krauss made a name for himself with a stellar performance in the Cape Cod League last summer and carried it over into this season, hitting .402, ranking third in the nation with 27 home runs and posting an on-base percentage of .521.

72. Los Angeles Dodgers

Steve Matz, LHP, HS, (NY) Matz did not get a lot of press coverage this spring but was widely considered to be one of the top high school players on the east coast. He has a nice low-90s fastball that tops out around 93 mph and he compliments it with a nice curve. He is big and projectable and could turn into a nice mid-rotation starter.

A quick update . . . Marc has signed and has already played in 5 games; assigned to Low A South Bend SilverHawks - which is cool for family as it is only a 2 and 1/2 hour drive - sure beats Montana!

Actually Missoula is a pretty nice city. I would have had the chance to see him play as I live in "Pioneer League" country with the Royals team in Idaho Falls!

Any chance he'll get to Missoula this year or is South Bend already above that level?? Not sure where everything stands on the Arizona minor league food chain. Hope everything works out for him.
