Thinking Yahn and Russell have some hard thinking to do... how much can they improve their stock/path with another year.

Nice position to be in but still need solid advice. There are arguments/examples for both sides of the dilemma.

It will be interesting to see what John Russell does. While I doubt a 16th round draft choice is likely to get a lot of money, I do expect him to go pro. However, in The Day article he also talks about getting his Civil Engineering degree from UConn. We'll see what happens.

>>Russell was home with his parents when the Giants called. Once terms are agreed upon, he will report to their training complex in Arizona.<<

That was pretty quick.

By the way, Aberdeen is the Baltimore affiliate in the New York Penn League. If Yahn gets assigned there right away, Aberdeen plays at Norwich next week, June 21-23.

Each organization is different. It always seems that every year Detroit (the Norwich parent club) doesn't get around to assigning the bulk of recent college draftees to Norwich until a few weeks into the season.
