Jered Weaver Named College Player of the Year

Baseball America named Angels first-round draft pick Jered Weaver College Player of the Year. I imagine Arte'll get him signed soon enough, but meantime, expect a lot of posturing from Boras. Some stuff from the article:
Despite all he accomplished, Jered Weaver likely will remember the 2004 season as a disappointment.

...

"I'm here for one reason," he said midway through the season, "just to get to Omaha. It's been my dream to get drafted and be a big leaguer. But first I want to get to Omaha."

...

"He doesn't want special treatment," Long Beach State coach Mike Weathers said. "The guy is a good teammate. In our program no one player is bigger than anyone else, and he fits that. They don't call him big leaguer or prima donna or whatever."

Good luck, Jered.
