New Mexico’s Luis Gonzalez is MWC’s First Pick in MLB Draft

Related Topics: Luis Gonzalez (outfielder)

He’s the 87th pick which ain’t bad for a utility player. Now that’s a thinly veiled insult as it really means he can play a multitude of positions but the White Sox drafted him as a CF. He hit .361 with 8 dingers and has speed as 18 steals shows. Speed and power, two good tools for a centerfielder. He’s a junior and I expect he’ll sign as the typical bonus for this slot is in the neighborhood of $636K; wouldn’t you?

More to come.......
