Cubs Fourth-round pick Matthew Cerda on ESPN
A nice profile on Cubs fourth-round pick Matthew Cerda, and how he and Danny Almonte took very different career paths since meeting in the Little League World Series in 2001.

Great article
a bit long, but very good. I didn’t know about their connection. Cerda is purportedly the guy whose bonus got us fined by the league.

i saw that last night
very good article, about both players. Almonte i always thought got shafted on that whole thing. not because he lost all his records, which he should have, but because he got all the crap heaped on him for something he had no control over. You can’t blame the kid for the dumb things his dad did, so i hope he at least gets a chance somewhere.
oh, and if Selig really wanted to fix the draft system, he should be fining the teams that waste picks on cheap players instead of the ones trying to use the draft to get better.
