Serrano could've been a 1st-rounder out of high school but was firmly committed to play for his father, Dave, at Tennessee. It's the 3rd time that he's been drafted. He underwent Tommy John surgery last year. 9 appearances (1 start), no record, 3.72 ERA, 9.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R (4 ER), 6 BB, 21 K, 1.41 WHIP, .194 opponent average
He also left the Tennessee team in April for "undisclosed medical reasons" which is definitely... something.

I've been on CF way less since I started in February. Hopefully Siemens doesn't get in between you and your real calling--keeping us informed
I'm definitely gonna be on here less if this section of the BBS continues its slide into GARM territory.
