NEW YORK - The 2010 amateur draft, based out of Major League Baseball's corporate offices in New York City, was held today.
Pitcher Robinson "Coffin" Salas was taken with the first overall pick of the amateur draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. Salas, a 17-year-old southpaw from Millvale, Pennsylvania, throws a fastball, changeup, curveball and splitter. He is expected to start the year with Class A Winnipeg.
The first three picks in the draft were pitchers. The Minnesota Twins took Rob McCauley with the second pick of the draft. McCauley is a 22-year-old Missouri native who was a starting pitcher with the Penn State Nittany Lions. The third pick of the draft was 22-year-old Nour Kunjufu. A native Liberian, Kunjufu - or "Wolf" as his teammates called him at Elm Grove College - is expected to begin his professional career with the Class A Eunice Diamondbacks.
Andrew Fussell, a 19-year-old third baseman from Jackson, Mississippi, was the first position player taken in the draft with the fourth pick overall.

BOSTON - With the 26th pick of the draft, the Red Sox selected infielder Fernando Hernandez.
From Plum, Pennsylvania, Hernandez was a solid amateur hitter and spent most of his time at second base, although he had time at first base as well.
Boston's other first round pick was 22-year-old catcher Brian St. John out of Watertown, New York. St. John, a left-handed batter out of Mena College, is a strong defensive catcher with a strong bat.
Their first pick in the second round of the draft (a compensation pick from Tampa Bay's signing of Victor Martinez), was Adrian Gaines, a 22-year-old left-handed outfielder with amazing speed and good power.
Other draft picks made by the Red Sox include secondbaseman Frank Moore, 19 of Arkansas; outfielder Todd Saunders, 19 of Riverside, California; pitcher Antonio Vasquez, 20 of Texas; pitcher Everett Zimmerman, 18 of Battle Creek, Michigan; infielder Ed Andrews, 22 of Dixon, Illinois; and left-handed reliever Pancho Bernard, 19 of Boise, Idaho.
