2011 Where are they now 2008 MLB draft picks 11 to 20

It is year end and I'm checking how picks 11 to 20 of the 2008 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.
