Chicago Cubs, Jon Garland, Kennedy HS, the list of players taken yesterday during the first phase of baseball's amateur draft, although Elko High School coach Marc Suyematsu said that doesn't mean a team won't pick the EHS outfielder later. Four northern Nevada players were drafted yesterday.

McQueen High School's Chris Aquila was picked 96th overall, going to the Florida Marlins in the third round. Aquila, a pitcher and second baseman, tied the national high school record with 29 home runs this year. Outfielder Gary Johnson of UNR was taken by the Cubs in the ninth round, pitcher Brent Husted of UNR was taken by the Dodgers in the 14th round and outfielder Duane Johnson of Wooster High went to the Phillies in the 18th round. Elko's coach, though, said contracts given to high school draft picks often are just a formality; teams want the players to get more seasoning, usually at a junior college. "By law.

if they draft them they have to offer them a contract So they offer them $500 and say, 'We want you, but we want you to develop your skills Suyematsu said. "See, if they sign a their amateur status is gone and they can't play at a JC. 'This way the teams still have rights to them, and they can play a couple of years at a JC and develop more." Nylander hit .630 for the Indians with 11 home runs and 25 stolen bases; and was a firsUeam Nevada 4A League all-northern pick for the second year in row. "If they do draft him. he probably wont hear anything until today or possibly even tomorrow." Suyematsu added.
