PVBL: Hartford Whalers
Whalers Pick Up the Scraps in the Draft

June 18, 1999

The Hartford Whalers selected the following youngsters in the Amateur Draft:

LHP John Murphy 69-81-29, Age 21 Round 3, Pick #5
LF Hank Warner 19-20-64, Age 19 Round 4, Pick #5
SS Ted Coleman 11-10-52, Age 17 Round 5, Pick #5


Tradewinds

The Whalers are reportedly searching for speed (still), especially anyone people just drafted as well as a #1 pitcher to take Ken Hill's place. Hartford has been seeking a new ace ever since Kevin Brown left town. On the block: Anyone except Socks Byrne, Jason Kendall and Adam Riggs.
