This year's edition of the baseball draft is still a little over a week away. The draft gets started on Monday, June 8, when they'll go through the first 75 picks. Unlike last year, when they gave up their first two draft picks to sign Ubaldo Jimenez and Nelson Cruz, the O's will actually get to pick on the first night. They'll get to pick three times, in fact, with the first of them coming at #25 overall.
There's a big difference for the O's in picking lower in the first round now that they've been good for a few years.
