UM loses all 11 MLB Draft picks, plus two recruits

At least Michigan baseball kept its coach.

But, man, it lost so much more — including 11 players selected in the Major League Baseball Draft, seven of them juniors, plus two recruits.

The Wolverines set a record for a single draft with the 11 picks, and all have signed, including two with the Tigers — a pair of juniors in utilityman Jake Bivens (27th round) and left-hander Grant Reuss (29th round).

Michigan also saw two recruits sign professional contracts: right-hander Cody Bolton, a sixth-round pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates ($300,000), and first baseman Jason Pineda, a 17th-round pick by the San Diego Padres ($125,000).
