Are Tim and Gordon Beckham related or something? This would make for a great story if they get picked close to each other.

There are some awesome baseball names in this group. "Aaron Crow", "Buster Posey", "Shooter Hunt".

Pittsburgh is too cheap to draft someone like Alvarez.

Lots of Bretts in the draft.

There's even a Yonder.

And another Josh Fields.

Strange that they're not related seeing that they both play the SS position, both in Georgia, both named Beckham and both about to be drafted in the same year.
