College Anger Flare Over Tiger Signings
ST LOUIS AP The anger at major league raids on college baseball talent flared anew after Missouri outfielder Dan Rudanovich signed with the Boston Red Sox. Missouri coach Hi Simmons condemned the move as unfair and unethical and urged league legislation to curb mid year drafting of college players. Red Sox scout Don Lenhardt defended the signing and noted Rudanovich would have lost bargaining power if he waited to graduate. Rudanovich, 21, hit .463 in 22 games last season and reportedly signed for about 25000. Simmons suggested waiting until eligibility ends, while Lenhardt said clubs sign players regularly and that colleges recruit too. Notable Missouri alumni in MLB include Sevcik, Shannon, James, Siebert, Musgraves, and O’Donoghue.
