I remember he said this guy would would be one of THE TOP JUCO bats next year.

Third baseman. right ?

According to Mark Ralston, the scout who drafted him, Webb was a 3rd-4th round talent for him. His bat has really comes around and he's an excellent defender who should be able to stay in center field.

The signing of Webb and Jarrett Martin basically gave the Orioles three 3rd round picks which helps out if they fail to sign Henry and Tolliver. I've heard things are progressing well with Henry but don't have too much on Tolliver.

Givens is only going to be signed if he completely changes his stance. It appears from all indications that the demands changed after he was drafted and Jordan is historically not afraid to walk away from a guy who is asking above his established value.

The only thing historic about not signing Givens is the fact that he would become the highest player ever drafted by Jordan to not sign.

Here's a blurb on his signing from the Palomar College baseball page. Nice size. 6' 4" / 180. Anyway, I found the following odd. Anybody else?

"He leaves for Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Tuesday evening and is expected to be called up to either long-season Class A or Class AA for the playoffs."

Yes I find that somewhat strange. Its a big jump from the competition he was facing to late season A or AA baseball. All those guys will be rolling and he will be trying to get the cobwebs out.

I wonder if this is him just wishing or is it something the team has told him?

Sounds like a misquote or misunderstanding by the person who wrote that on the college website. A promotion to Bluefield or Aberdeen would be more likely.
