2013 Where are they now 2010 MLB draft top 10

The 2013 season is behind us and I'm checking how the top 10 players of the 2010 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 first player drafted in 2010 was outfielder Bryce Harper by the Washington Nationals out of the College of Southern Nevada. Harper split 2013 between Class A Advanced Potomac and Double A Harrisburg while rehabbing and the Nationals. He hit .500/.600/1.500 with 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 R, 0 SB in 2 games at Potomac, hit .286/.444/.571 with 0 HR, 2 RBI, 2 R, 0 SB in 2 games at Harrisburg and hit .274/.368/.486 with 20 HR, 58 RBI, 71 R, 11 SB in 118 games with the Nationals. He was the NL Rookie of the Year in 2012.

The Pittsburgh Pirates drafted RHP Jameson Taillon second out of the The Woodlands high school in Texas. He split 2012 between Double A Altoona and Triple A Indianapolis.
