UIC commit Ben Hernandez, a pitcher out of De La Salle High School in Chicago was just taken in the 2nd Round (41st overall). The pipe dream of seeing him pitch at Curtis Granderson Stadium is now over.
Cool to see even though he never played for us. I still might refer to him as a UIC player 😎

I see that ESPN.com has Hernandez listed as a commit to IL. Haven't they stolen enough of our players without being given credit for one they hadn't stolen (although I'm sure that would have eventually happened if Ben played his freshman season at UIC). The KC Royals do give credit to Illinois-Chicago as his commit school, however.

Looks like it’s official. Ben signed a 1.45 million dollar contract with KC today. What could’ve been...not only big talent, but a desire to stay home. Tough to find both in one guy. Good luck to him.
