MILWAUKEE -- Playing with a chip on his shoulder worked for one notable Wisconsin athlete. Perhaps it will work for another.
Sounding a bit like Cal quarterback Aaron Rodgers after he slipped to the Green Bay Packers at No. 24 in the 2005 NFL Draft, California prep shortstop Brice Turang said he was determined to make teams regret letting him fall to the Brewers at No. 21 in the MLB Draft last month. Turang signed Thursday for $3.4111 million, according to MLB.com's Jim Callis.
"Obviously, there were some teams that didn't like me and some teams that did," said Turang, who was mentioned as a possible top overall pick before his senior season at Santiago High School in Corona, Calif.
