At last year’s Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, three
Wolverines heard their names called. The Chicago Cubs picked
catcher Jake Fox in the third round, third baseman Brock Koman went
to the Houston Astros in the ninth round and Jim Brauer, a 17th
round pick of the Colorado Rockies, returned to Ann Arbor for his
senior season.
Here’s a look at how the three draftees are doing in their
2004 baseball seasons.
