4. Baltimore Orioles- Brian Matusz San Diego
5. San Francisco Giants- Jemile Weeks 2nd Miami

7. Cincinnati Reds- Gerrit Cole RHP Santa Ana, CA
8. Chicago White Sox- Gordon Beckham 2nd Georgia
9. Washington Nationals- Kyle Skipworth C Riverside, CA
10. Houston Astros- Justin Smoak USC 1st

Why I feel some players will drop:

Vanderbilt thirdbaseman Pedro Alveraz, who is considered a top pick in 2008, is being represented by Scott Boras.

7 million dollar bonus for Florida high school 1st baseman Eric Hosmer.
