Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

2011 June Draft Order

4801258_medium   

Drew Vettleson is the only player ever drafted in the sandwich round by the Tampa Bay Rays organization. He may be joined by up to seven sandwich picks this year.

With the arbitration deadline passing, we now have a fairly good idea of how the first round picks will shake out. Below the jump is a preliminary draft order if all Type A and B FAs sign MLB deals:

Star-divide

 

First Round 

1. Pirates 

2. Mariners 

3. Diamondbacks 

4. Orioles 

5. Royals 

6. Nationals 

7. Diamondbacks (for failure to sign 2010 first-rounder Barret Loux) 

8. Indians 

9. Cubs 

10. Padres (for failure to sign 2010 first-rounder Karsten Whitson) 

11. Astros 

12. Brewers 

13. Mets 

14. Marlins 

15. Brewers (for failure to sign 2010 first-rounder Dylan Covey) 

16. Dodgers 

17. Angels 

18. Athletics 

19. Red Sox (from Tigers for Victor Martinez, Type A)*

20. Rockies 

21. Blue Jays 

22. Cardinals 

23. White Sox 

24. Red Sox 

25. Padres 

26. Rangers 

27. Reds 

28. Braves 

29. Giants 

30. Twins 

31. Yankees 

32. Rays 

33. Phillies 

Supplemental First Round 

34. Nationals (Adam Dunn, Type A)

35. Blue Jays (Scott Downs, Type A)

36. White Sox (Paul Konerko, Type A)

37. Red Sox (Adrian Beltre, Type A)

38. Red Sox (Victor Martinez †, Type A)

39. Rangers (Cliff Lee, Type A)

40. Twins (Carl Pavano, Type A)

41. Rays (Carl Crawford, Type A)

42. Rays (Rafael Soriano, Type A)

43. Rays (Grant Balfour, Type A)

44. Phillies (Jayson Werth, Type A)

45. Diamondbacks (Aaron Heilman, Type B)

46. Diamondbacks (Adam LaRoche, Type B)

47. Brewers (Trevor Hoffman, Type B)

48. Mets (Pedro Feliciano, Type B)

49. Rockies (Octavio Dotel, Type B)

50. Blue Jays (Miguel Olivo, Type B)

51. Blue Jays (Kevin Gregg, Type B)

52. Blue Jays (John Buck †, Type B)

53. White Sox (J.J. Putz, Type B)

54. Red Sox (Felipe Lopez, Type B)

55. Padres (Yorvit Torrealba, Type B)

56. Padres (Kevin Correia, Type B)

57. Padres (Jon Garland, Type B)

58. Giants (Juan Uribe, Type B)

59. Twins (Jesse Crain, Type B)

60. Twins (Orlando Hudson, Type B)

61. Yankees (Javier Vazquez, Type B)

62. Rays (Joaquin Benoit †, Type B)

63. Rays (Randy Choate, Type B)

64. Rays (Brad Hawpe, Type B)

65. Rays (Chad Qualls, Type B)

The bolded names have already signed big league deals, so their compensation is guaranteed. The Red Sox will receive the Tigers first round pick unless they sign Jeter, Rivera, Soriano, or Werth. 

The Type As will also fetch the highest available draft pick from the signing team to their former team. If a team signs more than on Type A the team with the higher Elias-rated FA will receive the higher pick. 

The Rays can get as much as 10 picks before the end of the second round assuming all of our eligible FAs sign MLB deals. That is REDIC!

And hopefully

Teams like the Giants/Braves/White Sox/Team with unprotected pick not play in the ALE signs Crawford and the Rangers sign Soriano. 2 more picks in the 1st besides all the supplemental picks.

Just hope were willing to spend because if we want it, there will be a whole of talent entering the system

Price, Garza, Shields, Davis, Hellickson is too awesome, Niemann for closer?

by joeybw on Dec 1, 2010 1:10 PM EST reply actions  

Agreed.

I think if Feliz gets moved back to the rotation teh Rangers will go hard after Sori.

This draft is supposed to be stacked, so either way if we break the bank we should have a HUGE influx of talent.

by rglass44 on Dec 1, 2010 1:12 PM EST up reply actions  

It does however mean that Cliff Lee is a Yankee

I think Feliz should be a starter either way go with Lee, Wilson, Lewis, Feliz and Holland but I don’t think they will do that.

Atlanta

would actually be a good fit for Crawford, but they probably won’t do it.

Hey, question

Hoffman is gonna retire and since that’s not a new team, wouldn’t the Brewers get nothing for him

And hey, White Sox and Nationals, resign your guys so we can move up please. Even Downs, seems like the Jays want to spend money this off season.

Price, Garza, Shields, Davis, Hellickson is too awesome, Niemann for closer?

Is it only me

Or does Vettleson look like a (already older) version of Reid Brignac?

How the hell is Scott Downs the #2 free agent by the Elias rankings?

This is all fine and dandy, but the fact that we'll be getting a whole slew

of 18 yo kids who probably won’t play till rookie ball 2012 doesn’t really energize the fan base for the coming season

Who gives a shit?

These same idiots decried the Kaz trade, had no idea who Benoit was, etc. etc. I don’t give a shit what they think. I do give a shit about getting a huge influx of talent in to the minors. A team like ou’s HAS to rely on big contributions from the farm system and handing RJ HArrison and co. 10+ draft picks in the first 2 rounds is a great way to do it.

Also, I doubt every player we draft is a HSer.

by rglass44 on Dec 1, 2010 2:26 PM EST up reply actions  

Yup

and comp picks

Are you concerned about the high mortality rate of your players?

by CubFanRaysaddict on Dec 1, 2010 2:34 PM EST up reply actions  

Supplemental picks are protected

“Comp” picks are unprotected, meaning picks that are awarded as compensation for not signing your pick last year. But “comp” picks given as FA compensation are protected.

The average fan doesn't give a damn about the draft at all

Most people won’t hear anything about any of these players for another 2-3 years once some have panned out and make a name for themselves and others flop. That’s just the ignorance of the masses.

If I understand correctly, your implied point is that there’s an argument to be made for signing a player imprudently to appease the benighted masses?

Hmm, I'm unclear of your point.

You implying it’s silly to write about this because no one cares? Or that people don’t get this and just think our owners are being cheap?

If it’s the later: yeah, probably. But what can we do about that? People are emotional and will forget about this sort of stuff by the time we’re a week into the season.

I love Casey Fossum. Now try and take me seriously.

by Steve Slowinski on Dec 1, 2010 2:53 PM EST up reply actions  

Don't see it

The way he crapped the bed in playoffs ruined that. If it’s one thing the average fan likes over a feel good story it is winning. Rocco playing center field for the next 5 years does not facilitate that.

by Karandrs on Dec 1, 2010 4:56 PM EST up reply actions  

I think RJ was referring to 2008 Rocco rather than 2010

Same with Kazmir, Aki, etc when they were traded. Apparently, winning isn’t as good as fielding a team with guys you like.

PIZZA?!?

by Transplanted on Dec 1, 2010 5:08 PM EST up reply actions  

One thing about all these picks:

If we get one or two of our type As to net a first rounder, I could easily see us nabbing a type A or two ourselves.

by rglass44 on Dec 1, 2010 4:59 PM EST reply actions  

Things I am right now:

1. drunk
2. good looking
3. smarter than RJ
4. better at softball than sandy kazmir

Is #1

a requirement for #’s 2-4?

by CubFanRaysaddict on Dec 1, 2010 10:39 PM EST up reply actions  

Kudos on 1 & 2, but I highly doubt #4

What’s your BAC Average when you play?

Hell yeah it is.
Any amount of points can be scored week to week. well, besides 1 point. Any number is as likely to be reached as another, since there’s only one of each number, each has the same chance to be hit. IT’s how the syetemof averages works.

From Ken Rosenthal:
If they lose Lee and replace him with Feliz, a four-year, $40 million contract for free-agent closer Rafael Soriano would be an overreaction.

THIS

by rglass44 on Dec 2, 2010 9:58 AM EST reply actions  

I hope the White Sox sign Soriano

Just updating this

33rd is the Rangers, you can remove Konerko from the list (basically everyone after Konerko moves up 1, guys below Hoffman will probably move up 1
