Myrio_Richard_1.jpgMike ‘Runway’ Richard has a brother, and he’s been called for landing by the Oakland A’s.

The second Richard brother in three years to be drafted by the A’s, the younger version of 2007 speedster Mike comes from the same school, and stole 38 bases over his first two seasons at Prairie View.

Myrio Richard hit .370 with 10 HR’s last year, where he also drove in 51 RBI.

This year, he was batting .315, with 20 stolen bags, on 21 attempts, and had just two errors in the OF.  He struck out only 19 times in over 145 at-bats, and got hit 8 times, drawing 20 walks.

Lets hope he turns out like Mike who is in Stockton, but more importantly he comes to Vancouver.

Phenomenal pick, in my opinion.

I’m out til 3:30, recapping the rest of the picks.
