Rangers Sign No 1 Draft Pick Roy Smalley Jr
The Texas Rangers quickly signed No 1 choice Roy Smalley Jr from USC after opening the draft with him, ending his long wait since being drafted four times before. Smalley, son of former major leaguer Smalley and nephew of Gene Mauch, left college early to turn pro. His father called it an ego trip to be compared with his son as others in baseball families were also drafted. 257 players were chosen overall in both regular and secondary phases, up from 251 last year.
