    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, July 1, 2020 * The Boston Globe College lefties drafted by Red Sox have small sample sizes but big hopes Julian McWilliams There was natural anxiety for players entering this year’s Major League Baseball draft. Their 2020 high school or college seasons had been cut short or canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost that chance at increasing their individual stock, and furthermore, the draft had been reduced to just five rounds. Lefthanders Shane Drohan and Jeremy Wu-Yelland felt some of that anxiety. The two were in their junior years of college. Drohan attended Florida State and Wu-Yelland played at the University of Hawaii. There was a chance both could have gone undrafted and thus would have been tasked with the tough decision of signing a free agent deal capped at $20,000 or returning to school for their senior year. “I didn’t know if I was going to get drafted,” Wu-Yelland said in a phone interview. “My agent was kind of telling me that it might happen, it might not. Just be ready for anything.” Said Drohan, “I knew the scouting report on me was I have the stuff to shoot up on draft boards but I haven’t really put it together yet. I felt like I was doing that this year and then once [the season] got shut down, that definitely played into the stress of it, like, ‘Did I show enough?’ ” As it turned out, both players showed enough. The Red Sox selected Wu-Yelland in the fourth round and Drohan in the fifth.

    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, April 6, 2011 Oakland A's fall to Toronto Blue Jays in 10 innings By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune TORONTO -- Yunel Escobar's game-ending homer in the 10th inning off Grant Balfour officially sealed the A's fate Tuesday at the Rogers Center. But Escobar's celebration never should have had a chance to materialize. Another unraveling by the A's defense got the bad vibes rolling in a 7-6 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Just like that, a game that began with promise for the A's wound up delivering a punch in the gut as they began a nine-game trip. The Blue Jays erased a 5-1 deficit with a four-run sixth inning, helped by errors by A's third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff and starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy. Solid defense is supposed to be a cornerstone for the A's, but they have committed a major-league-leading nine errors through four games. They are 1-3 as a result. "Errors cost us," manager Bob Geren said. "You look at the walkoff homer, but it was that four-run inning there when we didn't catch the ball." Despite the circus act defensively, the A's were primed for a victory after Josh Willingham's homer in the top of the 10th put them ahead 6-5. With interim closer Brian Fuentes unavailable because of a blister on his left middle finger, Geren called on Balfour to close it out in the bottom half. Balfour allowed a leadoff single to former A's outfielder Rajai Davis.
