It is year end and I'm checking how picks 21 to 32 of the 2009 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 Houston Astros drafted shortstop Jiovanni Mier 21st out of Bonita High School in California. He split the 2011 season between Class A and Class A Advanced. He hit .245/.354/.380 with five home runs, 29 RBI, 39 runs and 6 steals in 57 games at Class A and hit .233/.335/.306 with two home runs, 23 RBI, 35 runs and 5 steals in 57 games at Class A Advanced.
The Minnesota Twins drafted RHP Kyle Gibson 22nd out of Missouri. He pitched the 2011 season at Triple A. He was 3-8 with a 4.81 ERA, 91 strikeouts and 1.43 WHIP in 95.1 innings over 18 games.
The Chicago White Sox drafted outfielder Jared Mitchell 23rd out of LSU. He played 2011 at Class A Advanced. He hit .222/.304/.377 with nine home runs, 58 RBI, 74 runs and 14 steals in 129 games.
