Griffith A First-Team All-American--We Think

Former Middleton right-handed ace Nevin Griffith has been named to the 2007 Louisville Slugger High School All-America baseball team released Wednesday.

Thing is, we're not sure if he's a first-teamer or honorable mention; his name is listed in both places. We're trying to get to the bottom of it.

Griffith, a second-round pick of the Chicago White Sox in last week's Major League Baseball first-year player draft, was among 35 pitchers listed on the first team, which features more than 100 players. Only two other Florida pitchers -- neither from the bay area -- made the first team.

On the honorable mention list, Griffith is joined by ex-Bloomingdale standout Zach Pietrzyk, who has signed with the University of South Florida.
