Joe Borchard Looking to Get Back Into Football

by @ 11:16 am. Filed under 2006 Season

I found a link to this column over at Baseball Musings.  It looks like Joe Borchard, who never worked out for the White Sox after they picked him 12th overall in the 2000 draft, is looking to play in the Canadian Football League if he can’t secure a spot with the White Sox.  Borchard’s claim to fame (or is that infamy) is that he received the largest draft signing bonus ever ($5.3 million).

Borchard hit 29 homeruns in AAA last year but he also struck out 143 times. His pecota card on Baseball Prospectus doesn’t project too much for him.  You have to get all the way up to the 75th percentile just to find a positive VORP.  Plus I just don’t see the former football player having a spot on a team that Ozzie Guillen’s in charge of.
