Recap plus a few more picks

Almost slipping through the attention of our intrepid staff was the selection of Miller graduate Reyes Dorado, a right-handed pitcher for Arizona State who was selected by the Angels. Of course, we might have missed it because this is the third time that Dorado has been selected.

Dorado was first selected by the Marlins in the 43rd round in 2004 after graduating from Miller and was drafted in the 46th round by the Pirates last year. He didn’t sign either year, which was a smart decision considering that he was selected 910 picks earlier this year.

Also, the New York Mets drafted Don Lugo catcher Charlie Hinojosa in the 39th round, while Azusa Pacific LHP Jon Bravo, a Chino HS graduate, was selected in the 23rd round by the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Dorado discovery gives the area 15 picks today and 20 in the two-day draft, which is now in the books – all 50 rounds and 1,504 selections of it. For those of you who care, pick No. 1,504 was right-handed pitcher Kyle Stroup from Grant Community HS (Ill.), who was selected by the Boston Red Sox.

Here is a quick reference list of local guys. I think we got them all, but if we didn’t, shoot us a comment.
