#4
Clint Frazier, OF, Loganville HS 5th overall to the Indians.

I said in the Indians thread on here the Tribe would be picking a lot of outfielders in this draft, and what little I have heard about this kid, he should be a good pick.

He will most likely start at Mohoning Valley.
#5
Cincinnati's first pick at #27 is Phillip Ervin, OF, Samford

Yes, you are correct. It is home to Robert Nkemdiche who was the #1 HS Football prospect this past season and signed with Ole Miss.

With their first pick(59th overall) of the night, the Angels select Warren East's Hunter Green. Finished the season at 3-1 with a 0.14 ERA in 51.2 IP and 110 K. At this rate, Kentucky won't be getting any of their commits. Both HS players drafted out of KY are committed to UK.

Interesting story on Chad Jones:

Chad Jones was drafted in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Giants and was poised to become a hard-hitting mainstay of their secondary. But before he could play a down for New York, he suffered serious injuries during a single-car accident in New Orleans.

Cut by the Giants, Jones, a two-sport star at LSU, gave up football to pursue a baseball career. He has now taken the next step in making one of the most improbable and inspiring comebacks you'll ever see, having been drafted in the ninth round of the 2013 MLB Draft by the Cincinnati Reds.

Thanks.
My cousin, who is a year older than me, lives in GA.
He also played at a state power, and i remember him talking about Grayson throughout high school. They couldnt beat them while he was there.
