Draft Order

First-Round Picks
1. Nationals
2. Pirates
3. Orioles
4. Royals
5. Indians
6. Diamondbacks
7. Mets
8. Astros
9. Padres
10. Athletics
11. Blue Jays
12. Reds
13. White Sox
14. Brewers
15. Rangers (for failure to sign 2009 first-rounder Matt Purke)
16. Cubs
17. Rays
18. Angels (from Mariners for Chone Figgins, A)
19. Astros (from Tigers for Jose Valverde, A)
20. Red Sox (from Braves for Billy Wagner, A)
21. Twins
22. Rangers
23. Marlins
24. Giants
25. Cardinals
26. Rockies
27. Phillies
28. Dodgers
29. Angels (from Red Sox for John Lackey, A)
30. Angels
31. Rays (for failure to sign 2009 first-rounder LeVon Washington)
32. Yankees

So the Yankees will pick 32nd since there are no more Type A Free Agents who turned down arbitration. You could see the Angels really try to restock their farm system with 3 picks before the Yankees. If signability guys fall I could see the Angels going after them because if they lost 1 they would get the picks next year.

The Red Sox also pick pretty early at 20th. The whole Billy Wagner thing was terrible and so wrong. No way should he have been a Type A free agent. The system is pretty flawed.
