I remember hearing about him being the best of the 4 Dixon brothers next to Anthony. I could have sworn he was a 2011 grad, but it seems he's a 2010. Is he just not any good?</p>

is that they draft a lot of guys based on pro potential and signability. They'll probably send him to rookie ball in Arizona or Florida and start to try to develop him and teach him the game. They're looking at what he will be six years down the road with development.

Mississippi always has a couple of guys like this a year- last year it was Billy Hamilton and the guy the Marlins drafted last year from the middle of nowhere, Mississippi. This year it's going to be DeShun Dixon and Jacoby Jones from Richton. I also think that Kaleb Barlow will be drafted and will sign out of high school because of grade issues.

Some of these guys make it to the Big Leagues- like Marcus Thames and Bill Hall. And more end up like Arturo McDowell.
