2002 MLB Draft Recap: Part V

Brownlie was originally drafted as a high schooler in 1999 by Colorado in the 26th round (790th overall), but opted to attend Rutgers University. It was a move that paid off handsomely as he parlayed a strong college career (he stills holds the school record of career strikeouts with 235) into a first round selection by the Cubs and a $2.5 million signing bonus. Brownlie’s pro career started well as he made it Double-A and was a Southern League All-Star in just his second season. Unfortunately, he never recovered his velocity after a shoulder woe in 2003 (after originally dealing with shoulder soreness as a junior in college), and after four progressively worse seasons in the Cubs organization, he was released the near end of Spring Training in 2007.
