 | ABL News: First-Year Player Draft Monday, December 17th, 2012: For players entering the 2012 draft today, there is nothing quite like the anticipation of being picked. And yet, the draft is unsettling to one and all. Almost from the first, things go haywire. Promises and mock drafts go up the chimney. To the young rookie, the pressure ends upon his selection, if only for a short interlude before reality sets in. So Cal, Nottinghamshire, South Carolina, Jacksonville and Greenville are the first five teams to pick this year. BNN has predicted these players to be among the first ten selected: 1. Joe Guthrie, 22 year-old left fielder out of college. 2. Ken Forryan, 22 year-old center fielder out of college. 3. Tetsui Jouon, 24 year-old right fielder out of college. 4. Chris Weir, 24 year-old right fielder out of college. 5. Dale Thomas, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 6. Taizo Kikuchi, 35 year-old catcher out of college. 7. Sakutaro Eida, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 8. Lou Latulippe, 17 year-old starting pitcher out of high-school. 9. Seitaro Maruyama, 17 year-old center fielder out of college. 10. Tetsu Nishimura, 27 year-old shortstop out of college. |   |
