2012 CWS ready to rumble starting on Friday


South Carolina looks to 3-peat in Omaha as they begin their quest against the Florida Gators this year's top seed in a replay of last year's title game. Interesting way to start it off. Hats off to 2 first timers in the CWS Stony Brook of the American East Conference and Kent State of the Mid American, gotta love the  underdog and I wish them luck maybe one them can pull it off. Stony Brook has the most wins with 52 victories this season among the other 7 competitors. What's fun also is there's a lot of recent draftees from the MLB draft a week ago that you'll get to first hand watch before they report to their MLB assignments.


Draftees to watch

Mike Zunino, C Florida drafted 3rd overall and the first college player drafted for '12 by Seattle
James Ramsey, OF Florida St. .352 hitter 23rd overall pick '12 by St. Louis
Brian Johnson, LHP Florida one of 2 Gators drafted in First Round by Boston
Travis Jankowski, OF Stony Brook 44th draft selectee by San Diego
Jeff Gelalich, OF UCLA drafted #57 by Cincinnati has gone deep 11 times this season.
