Anticipation is building around United States Silver League as the annual rookie draft is now just a month away. The list of eligible draft candidates was officially released by the league today and scouts will now undoubtedly be kept very busy analyzing the current crop of potential recruits to determine the most desirable draftees.
The Transaction part of the BNN site has added a new section devoted to the draft list and it will be available to all clubs right up until the draft is conducted. Teams now have a chance to scout the draft pool for 65 days before the draft is held.

2. Shawn Maldonado, 18 year-old 3B out of high-school.
3. Bob Hargrove, 18 year-old SS out of high-school.

Aging Hurler Turns to Tai Chi to Revitalize Career
Sunday, December 27th, 2043
Sjoerd Reynoud may have found the fountain of youth in martial arts, specifically Tai Chi.
Reynoud has had plenty of success, starting in a bunch of games over his career, but the wear and tear of being a major league pitcher has begun to take its toll on the 34 year old's body, a process which Reynoud hopes to hinder by practicing the ancient martial art.
"It's a very spiritual process. Lots of meditation and visualization. I feel better and stronger than I have in years."
And while Reynoud may never be an elite pitcher in his later years, with the new daily routine and a positive outlook, he hopes to contribute at a high level for a while longer.
