2006 Draft update

Good news for the Angels as reported by BA in the new draft dish that was made available to subscribers today.

Not only did the Halos come to terms with 9th round pick Nate Boman (LHP) but they also added TWO high profile draft and follows to their watch list:

Jordan Walden (RHP) the 12th round pick and Jason Jarvis (RHP) the 25th round pick both bypassed their commitments to attend JC's and allow the opportunity for the Halos to sign them before the 2007 draft or reenter the 2007 draft.

Walden was considered a first round talent but struggled during his senior season and Jarvis was considered a top five round talent but was thought to have scared clubs off with high bonus demands.

It looks like I will be following Chandler-Gilber Arizona CC and Grayson (Texas) Junior College in 2007 in hopes that Eddie Bane and the Angels can work thier magic and swipe major talent through later-round gambles.
