That same team produced 3 players all drafted this year; Zack, Willie Abreu (UM) and Danny Zardon (Nova Southeastern University)  Along with these three CJ Chatham was drafted in the 2nd round by the Boston Red Sox, CJ played the past 3 years at FAU where he played SS. CJ was part of the Elite Squad Baseball summer team that won a National Championship and  has had 9 players(unconfirmed) drafted from that team.
