It wouldn't surprise me if it took awhile for bidding to get serious, especially since he's still playing high school ball. Usually, I think a team would wait to make anything approaching a serious offer until a high school guy was done for the year (although I don't know if that's always true).JSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207754797909843134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-8792433933691082212008-06-06T00:02:00.000-06:002008-06-06T00:02:00.000-06:00Taylor,BJ has a 3.79 GPA so he is no slouch in the...Taylor,<BR/><BR/>BJ has a 3.79 GPA so he is no slouch in the classroom also.local scuttlebutt says the Twins made an offer he counter offered for now they are far apart. I guess for now he will continue playing for the West Delaware Hawks (iowa has summer high school baseball).Isn't there a date that teams either sign a pick or they go to college?<BR/><BR/>KrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-24353475027945075012008-06-05T21:12:00.000-06:002008-06-05T21:12:00.000-06:00Kris,Thanks for the info!

Particularly interesting is the suggestion that people (presumably including Hermsen himself) felt that he'd go higher than the 6th round -- that's usually a recipe for seeing a guy go to college. We'll see what happens; hopefully he wants to get into professional baseball quickly and the Twins make the kind of offer necessary to keep him (as you said).JSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207754797909843134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-68261432832591413622008-06-05T20:33:00.000-06:002008-06-05T20:33:00.000-06:00Taylor,I can fill you in a little bit on BJ Hermse...Taylor,<BR/><BR/>I can fill you in a little bit on BJ Hermsen. 6'6" 230# touches 92 on the gun,good slider excellent control. He was a 1st team all-state qb in football,basketball and baseball. Broke his collarbone last fall in football and was slow recovering from it. Everybody thought he would go higher in the draft than the 6th round. Signed a letter of intent for Oregon State so I hope the Twins offer enough to get him to sign because I think they got a real gem .<BR/><BR/>Kris Sutter<BR/>Manchester IowaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
