Wow, so far Georgia (I'm referring to the state, although UGA is doing pretty well also) is already flexing its muscle in the baseball draft.
Griffin's Tim Beckham was the No. 1 overall pick to the Tampa Bay Rays.
UGA's Gordon Beckham (no relation) was the No. 8 overall pick to the White Sox.
Stephens County's Ethan Martin went 15th to the Dodgers.
UGA'S Joshua Fields went 20th to the Mariners.
EDIT: As an astute commenter pointed out, I missed Leesburg's Buster Posey, the Florida State catcher who went fifth overall to San Francisco. I glanced right over his name when I was making that list earlier.
So there have been 21 picks so far and Georgia accounts for five of them. Pretty impressive.
I'll be interested to see what happens with UGA football signee Xavier Avery. I think he is going to pop up on the draft board sometime today. We'll see ...

didn't the Posey kid from Lee County go pretty high?
you're absolutely right. he went fifth. I glanced over his name on accident.
Also, Buster Posey from Leesburg, Ga who plays catcher at Fl State went 5th in the draft.
