MLB draft was easy on Ragin' Cajuns

[NewsCopy]

As the Major League Baseball First-Year Player draft concluded on Thursday, UL coach Tony Robichaux felt confident about how his team would look next season. The Cajuns had only one player selected in the 50-round draft as junior left-hander Greg Wilborn got picked in the 18th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Sophomores Les Smith and Tyler Benzel recently announced that they were transferring to play closer to home, but UL expects to have its other underclassmen back in 2010. Incoming signee T.J. Geith, a lefty from NJCAA Division II runner-up Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College, went to the Chicago White Sox in the 49th round on Thursday. But that's probably too low for Geith, who logged an 8-2 mark with a 2.90 ERA in 16 appearances as a sophomore, to get enough money to give up joining the Cajuns.

The fact that we only had one current player drafted is a good and bad thing.
