MLB Draft -- UPDATE 6/8

Texas baseball fans looking for some good news got some today as not a single Horn or Horn recruit (that we know of) was drafted in the first three rounds. Kyle Russell was the first Horn drafted in the fourth round by St. Louis. Bradley Suttle was the only other Horn drafted in the first four rounds, taken by the Yankees with the last pick of the fourth. Both Suttle and Russell are draft eligible sophomores who have extra leverage to come back for two more years. It wouldn't be inconceivable to see both back in burnt orange next season. Texas baseball could be salty next season, especially if the starting pitching returns. Then again, a tough bracket, tough luck and bad play can end a great season very quickly.

Randy Boone -- drafted 235 to Blue Jays (7th round)

Adrian Alaniz -- drafted 250 to Nationals (8th round)
