UNC's Miller could be top player drafted today, with Bard not far behind

Posted Jun 6, 2006

North Carolina pitcher Andrew Miller is the MLB draft's top prospect and could be the overall No. 1 pick, which is held by the Kansas City Royals, and Daniel Bard is slotted for somewhere near the middle of the first round. Both juniors will be millionaires as soon as they sign contracts, and both appear ready to advance their careers as professionals. (Durham Herald-Sun)
