James Wood went to Trinity College and is now, at least on some level, a professional baseball player.

I thought you were supposed to be the left-handed Brian Sweeney.

Hey Jeff, I'm a rising sophomore at Trinity.
At some point this year, I concluded that it was likely I was the only serious Mariner fan to ever have attended the school. Nearly everyone I’ve met resides in New England, New York, or New Jersey, so basically the entire population of baseball fans at Trinity sits on either the Yankees or Sox bandwagon and tends to be completely unfamiliar with sabermetric analysis and the proper tools for player evaluation. I began to assume that it was always this way. I guess I was wrong.
He's not the only Trinity alum, though.
Although it’s six minor leaguers and Jonah Bayliss, so…
Man, I can't believe Boyce went that early.
Horrible overdraft. He’s more like a 45th-round talent.

Also we would have been at school for two of the same years.
MI’s only “talented” baseball player at that time was Willy Reel. Or at least that’s what I’m told.
Stupid question from a rookie draft follower...
On the conference call they’ve made a few teams clarify what position a draft selection will be listed as (second-baseman, left fielder, etc). Does this matter on a practical level, or is it just for the draftee’s benefit?
Probably the latter.
It let’s the player know what they’re getting into and possibly provides a vote of confidence, say if he’s a fringey defender but they say he can play short starting out.

Dude was my best friend through high school
When we played little league he agreed that I’d be his agent when he played professionally. He’d better come through on this.
I hope you have a signed contract.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Is there anyone interesting in this?
I can't resist clicking "Rec" when I see a post with four [of them] already.
I'm sure at least one of them is quirky
and David Holman had cancer in his brain.

Cancer so nice they drafted him twice!
/not mocking cancer in the slightest it’s awesome that he’s fully recovered

Some people liked Peterson.
He has a commitment to Arizona I think.

POSITIONAL SUMMARY

3B: 3
SS: 4
OF: 2
CF: 3
UTL: 1
RHP Madness!
As a novice to following the draft – is it “normal” to see such a heavy bias towards pitchers? Is it because so many of them are 1-dimensional in HS/College and only a few develop decent 2nd/3rd pitches in the minors?
I can see a need to pull a few more pitchers than position players (especially when you consider that roughly 45% of your 25-man roster is going to be staffed with pitchers); but drafting 60% pitchers seems a bit, I dunno, excessive.
I kind of like that strategy
Teams end up throwing a lot of money away when they sign free agent pitchers — due mostly to injury, but also to underperformance. Position players usually offer a better investment as free agents. Of course, you have to get your pitchers from somewhere, so drafting a lot of them is a good way to increase your chances of stocking your staff with cheap, club-control pitchers. If you run short of position players from your system, a team can buy them on the free agent market.
