Former GW first baseman Rosa taken by Marlins in 29th round:

Viosergy Rosa didn’t make the George Washington baseball team until his senior year. Tuesday afternoon, the Odessa College (Texas) standout was taken in the 29th round (887 overall).
“I’ve always had that ‘I’ll show you’ attitude ever since I started playing baseball,” The Bronx native said. “I always heard I was too skinny, not good enough. I want to prove people wrong. I’m on my way.”
The power-hitting first baseman isn’t sure yet what his plans are, however. He has been offered a full scholarship to play baseball at Northwestern University out of the Big 10, but pro ball intrigues him, too. Negotiations have yet to begin, but Rosa, 19, would like his two years of college to be included in the contract.
“If they offer what is fair, I’ll go,” said Rosa, who hit .376 with 17 home runs and 78 RBIs this season for Odessa. “How many people get this opportunity? It’s a dream. It’s a hard decision.”
