Local MLB signings

Earlier this year, Javier Baez was playing shortstop in his senior year at Arlington Country Day - now he is 2.6 million dollars richer. The ninth overall pick in this summer's MLB draft inked the deal with the Cubs close to the signing deadline earlier this week...Patrick Leonard, who starred at Creekside High until he moved to Texas in his senior year, signed with the Royals with a $600,000 bonus.

Montel Harris to miss some time?

Montel Harris (Trinity) is only 126 yards away from becoming the all-time rushing leader in Boston College history, and only 1002 yards from becoming the all-time rushing leader the history of Atlantic Coast Conference. The bad news is he is going to have to wait to get at those marks. Harris had arthroscopic surgery Wednesday on what was another lateral tear on his meniscus; the same tear he suffered toward the end of last year. Harris is hoping to back in action by the third game of the season, but if for some reason the healing does not go the way the doctors want, Harris does still have a redshirt season to use.

Tebow No. 3 in Denver?

 Kyle Orton started for the Broncos tonight in their second pre-season game of the year. The surprise to many was when Brady Quinn entered the game after Orton put in his time. Does this mean that Tim Tebow (Nease) has been demoted to the number three QB in Denver? Broncos' GM John Elway tweeted that Tebow would be number three for tonight's game - is that a harbinger of Tim's future?
