2010 Draft - Top 10 Picks
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 |
After getting off to a very shaky start, the 2010 draft has smoothed out and gone extremely well exceeding expectations for keeping the scheduled picks. The first day of the draft, Saturday, March 6, saw a slow start due to inexperience with the Strat Draft website and setting up auto picks. After getting the draft straightened out on Saturday, Sunday saw a large amount of picks getting the league into the fourth round by Monday morning. Tuesday was a little on the slow side but by Wednesday morning the draft moved into the 6th round early in the morning.
Since the first overall pick was skipped due to various circumstances, the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs drafted Matt Wieters with the second pick, first overall in actuality. Delaware Valley drafted Gordon Beckham with the third pick, second overall. Bellingham and Montpelier drafted Elvus Andrus and Tommy Hanson respectively, rounding out the top five picks. Later in the day, Cleveland selected Chris Coghlan with a forced draft pick by the commissioner.
Going sixth in the draft was Casey McGehee being drafted by the Bowling Green Red Barons. Albany then followed with Garret Jones, the young power hitting firstbaseman and outfielder from Pittsburgh. With the 8th pick in the 2010 draft, the Richmond Mudcats selected closer Andrew Bailey from Oakland. The Durham Conquistadors followed up with selecting Nolan Reimhold, the young power hitting outfielder from Baltimore.
Perhaps one of the biggest surprises of the draft so far has been the sliding of Detroit youngster Rick Porcello all the way to the 10th pick overall. The Gary Steelers were very excited to get the young hard thrower and felt lucky that Porcello fell as far as he did in the draft. Porcello went in the top five in other league drafts but fell to #10 in the 2010 Schwartz League Draft.
