"Why Dylan Carey wasn't picked in MLB Draft despite winning NCAA baseball's award for top shortstop"

Sporting News:

Why didn't Dylan Carey get drafted?

In short: It's not clear why Carey wasn't drafted.

(Presumably because he's a senior, and thus has little untapped upside, and, since he's a senior, teams will be confident they can sign him cheap without drafting him since he can't go back to school.)

These 1994 Fleer Marvel cards are so great, and wonderful to see the characters that disappeared

086 - Siena Blaze

Continuing the run of Upstarts - which might be the most 1994 thing about this set. Though Siena Blaze is a legit inclusion at this time, and this is a good card (even if it makes her power look like "makes snow"). #TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #ScottHampton pic.twitter.com/JPGv5KTs9V

089 - Sinsear

We all remember Sinsear, right?

Right?

Heck, even Slayback has appeared in more stories than this guy.

Also, I still have no idea why his name is a pun on "sincere." #TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #PeterBollinger pic.twitter.com/KZovEK0vKJ

082 - Gideon

This single image imbues Gideon with more energy and personality than any single comic book appearance I can think of. #TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #JohnVanFleet pic.twitter.com/FLpBfsMetl

083 - Gamesmaster

Like Gideon, a better card than this character deserves.

I love how you can trace the shifting goals/prize of the Upstarts competition just via trading cards (in the Jim Lee series, it was immortality)#TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #GlennBarr pic.twitter.com/XFQxcLRMnI

Damn this one is even more crazier than Apollo 12 and that Soyuz-2 that got hit launching at Plesetsk several years ago - the lightning strike actually clearly hit the ground here!https://t.co/horjW1p9wq pic.twitter.com/tqWi9crzNH
