Come out and play
<b><a href="http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=36188" target="blank">Cutter Dykstra</a></b> Taken by Milwaukee with the second of its three second-round picks (54th overall). With Helena of the Pioneer League, and starting to show his power, while maintaining a decent BA. Still 19.
Here he is taking a dump. He should be called Dumper.

<b><a href="http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=36383" target="blank">Jesse Orosco Jr.</a></b> Also in the Pioneer league, for the Diamondbacks Missoula affiliate. A 38th rounder, he's 21 and doing aight, but needs control work.
While Jesse, Sr. had a little pot in his belly, his kid is, well, rotund.

<b><a href="http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=36628" target="blank">Casey Hodges</a></b> Casey started in Danville, VA, not far from Dad.
He started strong, before leveling off and finishing with a still-fine 4-5, 2.47 line, and really good peripheral numbers.
Get that uni off him NOW!!!!

<b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/w/wilsopr01.shtml" target="blank">Preston Wilson</a></b> As far as I can tell, Preston never caught on with anybody this year, but never formally announced a retirement either.

<b><a href="http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/J/Glen-Johnson-2.shtml" target="blank">Glen Johnson</a></b> Glen, who blew off a draft opportunity with the Mets to go to Jacksonville University, finished his freshman year getting into only 12 games and putting up stats that look exactly un-like his fathers, getting plenty of OBP, but not much SLG.
.275 / .436 / .350 // 786
Keep gooping up your hair, Glen, and you'll end up like Dad sooner than you know.

He's not currently listed on the team roster, so I wonder what's going on there. Who I did find there is ....
<b><a href="http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/B/Anthon-Bernazard.shtml" target="_blank">Tony Bernazard</a></b> Son of Assistant GM and scapegoat Tony Sr., TJ hit a buck ninety-six for the Dolphiins as a third-year sophomore after a redshirt year, but I'm thinking Jacksonville just isn't updating their site.
Baseball cube also has his pretty good freshman stats.

<b><a href="http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/T/Shawn-Teufel.shtml" target="blank">Shawn Teufel</a></b> Shawn hasn't done anybody any favors with the bat at Liberty University.
Not shown there, however, is he seems to have switched to pitching with the Athletes in Action Fire, led his team in ERA, but couldn't buy a win.

I'm guessing that's an offseason touring team of Christian players, but I can't tell what happened to his college career. He seems to have become an occasional defensive replacement for Liberty.

Shawn Teufel, not looking like big league material.
