The 2013 season is behind us and I'm checking how picks 21 to 30 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 Toronto Blue Jays drafted catcher J.P Arencibia 21st out of Tennessee. He played in 2013 with the Blue Jays. He hit .194/.227/.365 with 21 HR, 55 RBI, 45 R, 0 SB in 138 games.

He split 2013 between Double A Altoona and Triple A Indianapolis of the Pirates and Triple A Norfolk of the Orioles. He 1-0, 1.32 ERA, 17 K, 0.44 WHIP, 2 SV in 13.2 IP in 7 games at Altoona, was 3-1, 2.79 ERA, 38 K, 1.19 WHIP in 42.0 IP over 22 games at Indianapolis and was 1-2, 6.27 ERA, 26 K, 1.49 WHIP in 33.0 IP over 15 games at Norfolk.
