It is year end and I'm checking how picks 21 to 30 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.
The Detroit Tigers drafted RHP Ryan Perry 21st out of Arizona. He split the 2011 season between Triple A and the Tigers. He was 3-0 with a 3.03 ERA, 30 strikeouts, 1.01 WHIP and 7 saves in 32.2 innings over 20 games at Triple A and was 2-0 with a 5.35 ERA, 24 strikeouts and 1.62 WHIP in 37 innings over 36 games with the Tigers.
The New York Mets drafted shortstop Reese Havens 22nd out of South Carolina. He split the 2011 season between Class A Advanced and Double A. He hit .273/.385/.455 with zero home runs, two RBI, one run and zero steals in three games at Class A Advanced and hit .289/.372/.455 with six home runs, 26 RBI, 37 runs and 2 steals in 58 games at Double A.
The San Diego Padres drafted first baseman Allan Dykstra 23rd out of Wake Forest. He played 2011 at Double A. He hit .267/.389/.474 with 19 home runs, 77 RBI, 57 runs and one steal in 121 games

The Colorado Rockies drafted LHP Christian Friedrich 25th out of Eastern Kentucky University. He played 2011 at Double A. He was 6-10 with a 5.00 ERA, 103 strikeouts and 1.49 WHIP in 133.1 innings over 25 games.
The Arizona Diamondbacks drafted LHP Daniel Schlereth 26th out of Arizona. He was traded in 2009 to the Tigers. He split the 2011 season between Triple A and the Tigers.
