2009 MLB First Year Draft

Round 1 - Lawerence Moran - SP - HS - LHP - 5'11" - 205 - 18 yrs old
Round 1 - Terence Soria - SP - 2 Year - RHP - 6'0 - 179 - 19 yrs old

Scouting Reports:
Lawerence Moran throws 4 seamer, forkball, slurve, screwball, and changeup. Best pitch is the 4-seam
Terence Soria throws 4 seamer, 2 seamer, curball, slider and changeup. Best pitch is the two-seam or curveball.

Will change players name to current prospects...So Moran will now be Matthew Purke, Soria will be Tanner Scheppers, Capellan will be Thomas Mendonca, Colome will now be Ruben A. Sierra & Cutler will be Braxton X. Lane.

Recap: Texas struggled yesterday against Hughes and it wouldn't be any easier against Sabathia or would it? Texas was already in a deficit after 3 innings, down 2-1 on a Mark Teixeira 2-Run HR to LF. However, they would tie it in the 5th inning at 2-2. Chris Davis would be the difference maker. He went 3-3 with 4 runs and 3 RBIs including 2 HR's. Mark Teixeira was ejected for arguing a close play at 1st. It doesn't get any easier for Texas as they head to Boston to take on Wakefield, Dice-K & Beckett in a 3 game set in Fenway.
Player of the Game: 1B Chris Davis
