    Angels gave him 250k as a 10th rounder...His odds were much better than 5%..

    Plenty of accolades to warrant considering baseball. Having a 15 yr baseball career could much more lucrative than baseball. Doesn't matter since he chose football, but he was no bum when it came to baseball.

    Portland, Oregon, September 5, 2008 - Baseball America released its top ten prospect list for the West Coast Collegiate Baseball League at baseballamerica.com on Wednesday, September 3. Jake Locker, star quarterback at University of Washington, was named the league's top prospect. If Jake decides against pursuing a professional career in football, Locker is a likely first round MLB draft pick.


    The WCCBL's top full-time baseball prospect was fireballing southpaw Josh Osich of Oregon State. Osich, a sophomore-to be from Boise, Idaho, went 5-0 with a 1.96 ERA for the WCCBL champion Corvallis Knights.

    Below is Baseball America's top ten WCCBL prospects.


    1. Jake Locker, of, Bellingham (Jr., Washington)
    2. Josh Osich, lhp, Corvallis (So., Oregon State)
    3. Taylor Starr, rhp, Corvallis (So., Oregon State)
    4. A.J. Morris, rhp, Moses Lake (Jr., Kansas State)
    5. Kraig Sitton, lhp, Spokane (R-So., Oregon State)
    6. Drew Heid, of, Bend (Sr., Gonzaga)
    7. Chris Vitus, rhp, Spokane (So., Lane, Ore., CC)
    8. Eddie Orozco, rhp, Corvallis (So., UC Riverside)
    9. Nick Freitas, of, Kelowna (Sr., Southern Utah)
    10. Alex Burg, c, Corvallis (Sr., Washington State)

    Not one $2 million player on that list let alone a $12 million.

    Thanks for proving my poont.

    No.

    A couple of them are in Double A, but at 26/27 years old, the over/under on their chance of even making it to the show at this poont is 5%.
