NB Grad Randy Dicken looks to get drafted on June 7th...

[Coach]

I am hearing he is between rounds 3-8, so we shall see. Randy was dominating at Shippensburg this past season, and many local hitters have seen what he can do in AAABA and what not.

Here is the MLB.com assessment on Dicken:
COMMENT: STRONG FRAME. BROAD SHOULDERS. SOLID LOWER HALF. POTENTIAL TO ADD WEIGHT & STRENGTH. 3/4, LOOSE ARM. SINK ACTION FB, LOCATES WELL. MIXES IN 12 TO 6 CB. DECENT COMMAND. WORKS CORNERS. NOT OVERPOWERING, JUST GETS JOB DONE.

There is a link on there to watch a scouting tape of Dicken as well. It is best viewed with high speed internet, as it is just over 4 minutes long. If you have high speed, just click on the 300k beside his name. Slow connections can try the 56k link, but it probably won't work too well.

Anyway...GOOD LUCK DICKY!!!

That sounds exciting.

Question: what Bedford County baseball player advanced to the highest level in the Major League system?

[Coach]

Keith Williams had a short stint with the Giants a few years ago, I remember seeing him in the game on ESPN.

[CRLionDawg]

Where did Keith go to HS?

[Sneakers]

K. Williams...Bedford High alumnus

I talked to Randy this past Wednesday and he is very excited about this Monday. He told me that the Blue Jays and Diamondbacks seemed really interested. He recently had a tryout with the orioles and he said it went very well. Hey I know alot of kids never make into the pros just overall, but look for this guy to maybe be in AA ball in couple years and maybe AAA and then who knows.

now i know u guys cant be referring to keith williams being from bedford PA and dicken being from nbc PA...according to hollywood this area is a sports deadlands with no talent, but yet one of those has already played pro ball and the other is about too...ur kidding rite?

[HOLLYWOOD]

you are right about not having talent around this area!!! 1 for every 50 years wow throw a party!! Wake UP Gunner in your fanasy world!!

[Gunner18]

it may be a fantasy world but at least i can spell it...besides u claim that nothing good comes from this area, now correct me if im wrong, but the word "nothing" includes EVERY SINGLE ITTY BITTY THING...EVERYTHING! so saying that nothing good comes out of here is a completely false statement, even if its just one single person...it is still something and not nothing.

[ham55]

Yea but i enjoy it when he says that, because he inturn calls himself nothing and that makes me smile to think that he actually might know what hes talking about then.
