League talk: Bryce Harper goes #1 in the 2013 AABA draft

The results of the recent draft of the All American Baseball Association had been recently sent to our league’s email list.  Seeing as they use very similar draft eligibility rules as we do, we paid close attention.

Our contact and friend at AABA is commissioner Nick Tegeler who has been known to stop by IAL conventions now and then.  Again, no surprise with the first pick.  Bryce is Nyce!  Here are the results of the first round:

  1. Bryce Harper
  2. Yu Darvish
  3. Wade Miley
  4. Jerrod Parker
  5. Yoenys Cespedes
  6. Will Middlebrooks
  7. Matt Moore
  8. Manny Machado
  9. Matt Harvey
  10. Will Rosario
  11. Josh Rutledge
  12. Starling Marte
  13. Tommy Milone
  14. Brandon Belt
  15. Andrelton Simmons
  16. Jean Segura
  17. Fernando Rodney
  18. Brandon Moss

thanks for the update, Nick!
