The MLB draft is over and it contained very good news for Texas baseball. Six Longhorns and five recruits were drafted by major league teams. They were:
- Kyle Russell, 3rd Round, LA Dodgers
- Jordan Danks, 7th Round, Chicago White Sox
- Kyle Walker, 11th Round, Colorado Rockies
- Kenn Kasparek, 12th Round, Seattle Mariners
- Casey Whitmer, 30th Round, Washington Nationals
- Riley Boening, 42nd Round, Minnesota Twins
- Robbie Grossman, 6th Round, Pittsburgh Pirates
- Taylor Jungmann, 24th Round, Anaheim Angels
- Hunter Cervenka, 27th Round, Boston Red Sox
- Brandon Loy, 32nd Round, Baltimore Orioles
- Sam Stafford, 40th Round, Boston Red Sox
From this list, Russell is definitely gone, and Danks, Walker and Kasparek should be gone. Grossman has said he'll be a Longhorn and suggested Jungmann is coming along too. With Preston Clark avoiding the draft bug, Texas baseball should be stacked for a championship run in 2009.
