The Eau Claire Express likely just lost part of their starting rotation. Right-hander Shane Dyer, who earned the win in Wednesday's win over Waterloo, was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays with the first pick of the sixth round -- No. 173 overall.
Dyer, who pitched for South Mountain Community College (Ariz.) last season, is 1-0 with a 7.20 ERA this summer. Should he choose not to sign -- which seems unlikely -- he would play for the University of Nebraska this fall.
I'll try to catch up with Dyer after tonight's game and get his thoughts on being drafted.
Dyer joins former Express catcher Jacob Jefferies as Rays draft picks.
