My answer is i have no clue it makes the elite feel better about themselves im sure
June 13, 200817 yr we are all now bigger nerds for knowing that 1337 stands for elite. then again we are members of a message board that is devoted to a sports team so there wasnt much hope for us anyways
June 13, 200817 yr I saw 20th rounder Justin Greene on Bristol's roster. I also found an article about him that gives a bit of background on him. White Sox take FMU's Greene

June 14, 200817 yr When Great Falls comes to Billings to play the Reds affiliate-Billings Mustangs I'll give you a report on what I see in Oney Guillen and KW2. Billings has a new ballpark opening this year and games should be real fun. Edited June 14, 200817 yr by elrockinMT

June 14, 200817 yr This from the Great Falls Tribune this morning... Newly signed pitchers Dan Hudson and Dexter Carter will be arriving in Great Falls any day now. Hudson was 5-6 with a 4.76 earned-run average this spring. The righthander led the Colonial Athletic Conference in strikeouts (107 in 92 innings). In three seasons, Hudson amassed 295 strikeouts in 292 innings, which ranks second all-time at ODU. The 6-3, 200-pounder was a second-team all-CAA choice this spring after making the first team a year ago. Carter, meanwhile, is a 6-6, 198-pounder who was 3-4 with an 8.76 ERA. In two years at Old Dominion Carter fanned 100 hitters in 107 innings. Manager Chris Cron said first baseman Doug Thennis of Texas Tech (27th round) is slated to join Voyagers soon. The veteran manager is also hopeful that Wichita State outfielder Ken Williams Jr., the son of the Chisox general manager, will soon sign and be dispatched to Great Falls. http://www.greatfallstribune.com/apps/pbcs...317/1006/SPORTS Edited June 14, 200817 yr by scenario

June 17, 200817 yr Tyler Kuhn has signed. He's gonna be playing for Great Falls. He was a college senior, so a no brainer sign.

June 17, 200817 yr The organization seems to be getting most of the overdrafts signed quickly, to give themselves plenty of time and money to go after the bigger names. I like it.
June 17, 200817 yr Anybody else notice Ryan Strauss is now on the Great Falls roster? That was quick, and a nice signing.
June 17, 200817 yr Three more draftees are showing up on the Great Falls roster... Ryan Strauss Steven Sauer Joshua Billeaud
