Arizona baseball: Wildcats, Jay Johnson get through MLB Draft in dream fashion

When Jay Johnson accepted the Arizona Wildcats head coaching job on Monday, he called the job his "Dream Job" and "The greatest day of my life".

Well, he may have just had his "Dream Draft" as far as trying to get this program righted.

Arizona itself had only three players selected in the MLB Draft. Only Cal and Utah (one each) had fewer players selected throughout the Pac-12.

Two of those players were obvious, and there was never a chance they were coming back in both Kevin Newman and Scott Kingery.
