Dom Keegan / 4th round / #134 overall

Just checked in with the draft. It's moving fast, 1 minute or less per pick.

Still, a bunch of SEC players getting drafted ... including Kal-El's (Superman's) dad Jor-El Ortega.

Alas, we knew him somewhat.

Maxwell Romeroo, Jr. drafted in Round 9 / #261 overall.

Never knew why he left Vanderbilt. Had he made that decision before Rodriguez turned pro? Not a sure starter at Vanderbilt with Keegan returning? Homesick for Miami? Looking for a Criminology Department in college (which he found at Miami U.)?

Only 61 P.A. for the 'Dores in 2021 after riding the pines in 2020, but 4 home runs and a .300/.426/.620 slash line. Too bad we lost him, but it worked out in Coral Gables for Max.

Good luck!
