For the most part, there’s not a lot that’s interesting about the third day of the MLB draft. The top-tier talent and even middle-tier talent, save for a handful of players anticipated to be tough to sign away from college commitments, have long since been picked and teams blow through rounds 11-40 with as much alacrity as is possible to have for 900 draft picks.
In a couple of recent drafts, the Orioles have managed to find players who have since turned into somewhat interesting prospects out of these double-digit rounds full of players who don’t even crack the thorough 500 best prospects list of Baseball America.
