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?

by Larry E on Oct 4, 2009 3:26 PM PDT reply actions  

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.
