Draft Deadline Southern Fried Specials

• The big news to me, is that Conner Powers is going to return to Mississippi State after turning down the Dodgers offer. Powers was drafted in the 11th round, and is one of the best power hitters in the SEC. Last year, Powers hit 19 home runs for State with 63 RBI's and hit a career low .301 for the Bulldogs. He will make State's lineup drastically different next year, not to mention senior laden in terms of postion players.
• David Renfroe, who many considered the top prospect in the state last year out of South Panola, and the son of former Ole Miss and Chicago Cubs pitcher Laddie Renfroe, has signed with the Boston Red Sox for 1.5 million dollars. David was a Ole Miss signee. I actually had the pleasure to meet David Renfroe at the MHSAA State baseball Championships in 2008, and I must say that he was a really nice guy, and I will be rooting for him. As long as he doesn't hurt the Cardinals, of course.
