The seventh-round pick was Palmeiro, a junior who hit .337 with nine home runs and a .539 slugging percentage this season for the Wolfpack. N.C. State's season ended last weekend in the NCAA regionals. His father, Rafael Palmeiro, played for the Orioles from 1994 to 1998 and from 2004 to 2005, the last year of his career when he was suspended for testing positive for performing-enhancing drugs.
