It is off season and I'm checking how picks 51 to 64 (which closed out the first round) 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.
The San Francisco Giants drafted shortstop Charles Culberson 51st out of Calhoun High School in Georgia. He played 2011 at Double A and hit .259/.293/.382 with 10 home runs, 56 RBI, 69 runs and 14 steals in 137 games.
The Seattle Mariners drafted third baseman Matt Mangini 52nd out of Oklahoma State. He played 2011 at Triple A and hit .336/.399/.409 with two home runs, 41 RBI, 34 runs and 3 steals in 58 games but was released on August 23 after leaving the team with a personal issue.
