Major League Baseball’s amateur draft is tonight and unlike the drafts in other sports, it is pretty much a crapshoot and almost impossible to predict thanks to the availability of so many players, including high school kids.
Last year, the Rays had the 20th pick and used it to take Casey Gillaspie, a big first baseman from Wichita State. So far, that pick appears to be on track as Gillaspie is on pace to hit 29 home runs with a .336 OBP for low-A Bowling Green.
This year, the experts are all over the board with whom they are predicting for the Rays with pick No.
