If anyone asks you why you follow the MLB Draft, you can direct them to this story about the Atlanta Braves 13th-round pick, Tony Mueller:

When her cell phone rang Tuesday afternoon, Barb Mueller didn't give a second thought about who it might be.

Until she heard this: "This is Stu from the Atlanta Braves."

"Tony! Tony, get down here," Barb Mueller called to her son, Tony, who was watching the Major League Baseball draft on television on a different floor of their La Crosse home.

Stu Cann, a scout with the Braves organization, was calling for Tony Mueller, a standout outfielder/pitcher who had just completed his junior season at Winona State University.

Cann wanted to know if Mueller, a 20-year-old with seemingly deer-like speed, would sign if the Braves selected him in the upcoming 13th round of the First-Year Player Draft.

"I said, ‘If you're going to take me, I'll sign,'" Tony told Cann without hesitation.
