Chows Move up in Round 1

Illinois Times - The Chows traded a surplus - glove men at 2B - to move up in round 1 of a talented draft. Once the 7th overall pick, Beckham's bat never developed the way Illinois had expected. With the emergence of Barney as probably the best glove at the position, Beckham and Barney be became redundant. "There are 7 guys we absolutely love in this draft so moving up to pick 7 ensures we get one of them. Since the Chows are not going for it this year, we can take the upside guy here instead of worrying about how good a season they will have this year."  We will likely never know if one of those guys would have slipped to 12 but Sherlag feels good getting one of his 7.
