cowboyeric8 posted this first in the Texas Rangers Thread, but I believe it deserves it's own thread. The Rangers new ownership takes classy to a new level.
=============================================
With their 33rd-round pick in the First-Year Player Draft on Wednesday, the Texas Rangers selected University of Georgia outfielder Johnathan Taylor, who suffered partial paralysis after injuring his spine in a game on March 6.
Taylor is a teammate of Rangers' supplemental first-round selection in this year's Draft, outfielder Zach Cone. "We thought selecting Johnathan was the right thing to do," said Kip Fagg, the Rangers' director of amateur scouting. "We would have drafted him either way, regardless of any other circumstances involving his injury or Zach's Draft status. Our area scout in Georgia, Ryan Coe, has had a relationship with Johnathan since he was a high school player. The club has always liked his passion and ability as a player.
