Oakland takes their manager Bob Geren's kid.
The Blue Jays take right-hander David Whitehead out of Moeller! I assume he's going to college somewhere. (Edit: Yes, Elon University in NC.)
Round 36: Chuck Ghysels, RHP Lincoln Trail JC. He's from Springboro, OH.

Round 37: RHP Nickolas Sawyer out of a Texas HS. Listed as 5'9"?
The Angels select a guy listed as being from "no school". It would be infinitely more fun if they just said "parts unknown".
Technically Sam Lecure got this listing when he was drafted because I think he dropped out of UT beforehand.
Round 38: LHP Matthew Leonard, Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo. Senior, 6'0"/190#.

Leonard was 2-7 with a 4.97 ERA as the Mustangs' Friday starter. The team had a 6.75 ERA, however, so 4.97 is better than it looks.
Former MLB LHP and Cy Young award winner Mark Davis' son Logan goes to Colorado in round 38. He's a shortstop out of an Arizona HS.
Interesting that they're trying to make a catcher of a corner infielder from Miami-Dade. Mike Piazza played first base for Miami-Dade when he was drafted. They brought him to Dodger Stadium, had him squat behind the plate and throw a few to second, declared him a catcher--actually, Lasorda declared him a catcher--and made him an offer.
