Emmons recorded nine wins to just four losses during the season—the most wins of any Highlanders player in 2010. He posted the third-lowest ERA on the squad (3.99) in 13 starts and 16 appearances, pitching 90.1 innings. In 2009, he was named the All-Big West Second Team.

Once the thrill of being drafted wears off, Emmons and Meaux have to make a decision about whether to sign any eventual contract offered by the major league clubs, who hold the players' exclusive draft rights until Aug. 15.

Emmons said he plans to play summer ball in the Cape Cod League and Meaux indicated he may do the same while also raising the possibility of playing for the Santa Barbara Foresters of California Baseball League this summer.

Both players said they will continue to be monitored by scouts from the clubs over the summer and wait and see what kind of offer is made.

Emmons said he is looking forward to continuing to improve over the summer, regardless of where he ends up in the fall.

"That will be a really good experience for me and hopefully [the Marlins] will have a scout up there and watch to see how I do this summer," Emmons said. ""I'm just gonna go to summer ball, have a good time and try to help my team win. I'm going to keep working hard."
