2010 Draft: 1st Round
JD Sussman: My favorite pick of the first round was all the way down at 31. The Rays snatched up Justin O'Connor, who profiles as a Buster Posey/Wil Myers type prospect. He, like them, had the athleticism to play all around the diamond at Cowan High School and his bat is for real. His wiry
A Dynamic Foursome
