The Astros select 6'1" 180lb RHP Jamaine Cotton out of Western Oklahoma State, and originally from the US Virgin Islands.
Cotton was taken in the 28th round by the Giants in 2009, but did not sign - which looks like a good move right now.
He was 11-0 in 2010 in 60.2IP, allowing 58H/22ER, 53K:15BB for Western Oklahoma State.
Rays scout Evan Brannon:
“I saw him at camp last January and he has a good arm. But it’s really hard to say exactly where and which round he will go.”
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
