1902 Rookie Draft Update
Just a quick update to follow up on this season’s Rookie Draft class. Just because you drafted ‘em doesn’t mean you got ‘em, and here’s where the top 20 picks stand in this regard:
- 1. OF John Wilson, BAL: unsigned, now FA
- 2. OF Oscar Charleston, BOS: signed on July 9th to an MiLB contract with a $2260 bonus; now playing for Wilmington in the PL
- 3. C Joe Ferguson, CIN: signed on June 27th to an MiLB contract with an $880 bonus; now playing for Cedar Rapids in the PL and rated the #1 prospect in the FL
- 4. 2B Eric Young, BOS: unsigned, now FA
- 5. OF Gates Brown, BSN: unsigned, now FA
- 6. OF Al Shaw, NYG: signed on June 5th to an MiLB contract with a $760 bonus; now playing for the Giants in the FL (.279 / .382 / .380 with 2 HR and 17 RBI in 129 AB)

- 9. SP Melido Perez, DET: unsigned, now FA
- 10. C Ellie Rodriguez, BRO: signed on July 9th to an MiLB contract with a $675 bonus; now playing for the Superbas in the FL and has so far gone 2-for-4
- 11. SS Chick Galloway, WAS: signed on July 4th to an MiLB contract with a $630 bonus; now playing for Chattanooga in the PSL
- 12. 1B Roy Leslie, CLE: unsigned, now FA
- 13. SP Frank Corridon, SLA: unsigned, now FA
- 14. 2B George Cutshaw, CHC: unsigned, now FA
- 15. 3B Hector Lopez, CWS: unsigned, now FA
- 16. LF Milt Thompson, PHA: unsigned, now FA
- 17. 1B Ray Sanders, STL: unsigned, now FA
- 18. 2B Bump Wills, BAL: unsigned, now FA
- 19. CF David Murphy, CIN: signed on July 3rd to an MiLB contract with a $243 bonus; now playing for the Reds in the FL and has so far gone 10-for-31 with a dinger and 7 RBI
- 20. 3B Joe Randa, BOS: unsigned, now FA
As Commissioner, I won’t lie—it’s somewhat disappointing to see all of that young talent sitting on the sidelines. But that’s the nature of the beast and hopefully we’ll see them suited up and strutting their stuff for FL fans in the very near future.
