That's when the Rays will select in this June's draft, here's a look at the last dozen 30th picks:
| Year | Team | Player | Pos |
| 2008 | BOS | Casey Kelly | SS |
| 2007 | NYA | Andrew Brackman | RHP |
| 2006 | STL | Adam Ottavino | RHP |
| 2005 | STL | James Greene | SS |
| 2004 | TEX | Eric Hurley | RHP |
| 2003 | KCA | Mitch Maier | C |
| 2002 | OAK | Ben Fritz | RHP |
| 2001 | SFG | Noah Lowry | LHP |
| 2000 | ATL | Scott Thorman | 3B |
| 1999 | STL | Chance Caple | RHP |
| 1998 | KCA | Matt Burch | RHP |
| 1997 | ARZ | Jack Cust | 1B |
For those wondering, that's one-third high schoolers and the rest college players. Not an ovely encouraging list, but there's a good chance a "signability" type will slip to the Rays, similar to how Kelly slipped last year.
