Rays will make Beckham number 1 pick

Really can't say Beckham is a bad pick. Hopefully he stays in the middle infield.

If develops into what the scouts say I think it is a good pick. With Brignac being exposed away from the California league the Rays don't have a good middle infield prospect in the system, so they went with a need I believe

Watching the pre-draft coverage on mlb.tv. The camera operator seems to know absolutely nothing about baseball history.

I don't wanna steal any of the catchers from marver.

And Tim Beckham is picked first by the Rays.
