2011 Draft: Phil McCormick

The wait worth it (Columbia Tribune)
He knew eventually he would get the call and go right to work. So he didn’t worry about what preceded his selection. He took a few phone calls Wednesday morning from interested organizations, but he said he wasn’t keeping an eye on MLB.com’s Draft Tracker.

“Actually, I got a text from Brad Buehler saying, ‘Congrats, dude.’ I was brushing my teeth,” said McCormick, who was picked by the San Francisco Giants in the 31st round. “After that is when the scout called to tell me they drafted me. Then I just went and hung out by the pool. So it was a pretty good day.”

The left-hander from Wildwood will soon join the Giants’ rookie-league team in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Soptic is expected to sign, but the others will have decisions to make. Graves might have an incentive to stay. A pair of Vikings teammates — Jake Ivory and Case Munson — are expected to join the Tigers.
