Don’t the Rays get the 29th pick-since their pick was pushed back by 2 compensation picks? The Rangers pick was pushed back by 1 compenation pick.

Any idea what Paxtons plan is now? Indy ball I am assuming?

According to all of the sources I’ve seen, Paxton will go back to UK for his senior season

Wow, the Jays could have quite a few picks in next years draft, though, its quite pathetic for a team to fail to sign so many of their high picks. Not signing Paxton i am sure will come back to bite them. It really is very disapointing as a Jays fan to see the organization have such a poor draft – no one wants to prolong a rebuild and thats what seems to be going on.

Rangers should get pick 13a, pick 14, in next years draft b/c of Washinton’s compensation pick this year not pick 14a, pick 15. Rangers really had pick 13 this year not pick 14.

Man that’s the most “picks” I have ever wrote!

With Harper looking the way he did in the Aflac game, I still am sure he will be the no. 1 pick in next years draft. Who will follow right behind? Does James Paxton have a chance to be the first lefty taken off the board next year?

Also, who looks good for the first round of the 2011 draft?

Chipola (Fla.) JC.
