2011 Where are they now 2007 MLB draft top 10

It is year end and I'm checking how the top 10 players of the 2007 draft did this season. Traditionally players drafted out of college advance faster than those drafted out of high school and pitchers usually advance faster than position players. Some players might also be traded to help their team get an established player that can help their team improve immediately.
