Draft order
Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere (I’ve been out of town and away from a computer for a week) but what happens in terms of the June 2010 draft if the A’s lose today and the Padres lose creating a three-way tie with Toronto?
Draft Order
I was already writing my post below when you posted. What I was able to find was in case of tie the previous year’s records are used as tie breaker. Toronto had a better record than the A’s in 2008, while Padres had a worst record. So Padres, A’s, Blue Jays would be the order is a three way tie.
Still sucks to end the season with a week of losing.

Because a 1-2-3 inning would still be game-ending?

You can’t have a “walk-off 1,2,3 inning” either. It’s only for when the batting team wins it.

So today doesn’t prove much. But they’re a decent team, it appears.
They are Giants Legit

If we tie it up and then
Bailey comes back as we win in the 10th, does he get a save?

No.
Because he didn’t enter in a save situation.
