[autotag]Blake Money[/autotag] has finally heard his name called in the MLB sraft as the Baltimore Orioles have taken the big man in the 12th round.

Money has floated around from being a starter to a reliever multiple times so he could never really find his groove. He finished last season with a 1-0 record and a 5.97 ERA as he struck out 30 hitters and walked 12 in his 20 appearances. One thing no one can take away from him is the fact that he is a national champion.

He lands in a good spot in Baltimore as the Orioles are in bad need of pitching help. The Orioles have a team ERA of 4.14 so far this year as they are fighting for a wild card spot halfway through the season.

Money has the option to return to LSU if he chooses. Otherwise, he will sign with Baltimore and be dealt to one of their minor league clubs.
