i would like to give congrats to the whitesox on their 8th round selection of michigan LHP clayton richard.
richard went to HS with my younger brothers in lafayette,IN and is one hell of a pitcher. the guy played 4 years varsity in HS in 3 sports(football, basketball, and baseball).
richard was originally a top QB prospect and was the top QB prospect in the midwest when he was a senior. he originally went to michigan on a football scholarship but left the team to concentrate on baseball after this past season because of being behind henne.
the kid is a great athlete and was also a 4.0 student in HS. I really thought he had a very bright future in football ever since i saw him breaking state records as a freshman QB at McCutcheon HS but alas it was not to be( as a michigan fan i was thrilled when he signed).
anyway congrats sox fans(im a cub fan) you not only got a lefty with a ton of talent but you got a kid who is a great person as well.
