The St. Petersburg Times reports that the Rays will take high school SS Tim Beckham with the No. 1 pick in Thursday's draft.
Instead of filling a need at catcher with Buster Posey, the Rays will apparently go with the Beckham, a five-tool player who is said to have plenty of baseball smarts and superstar upside. Part of this could be due to Posey supposedly floating $12 million as his asking price.

It's official the Rays will take Beckham number one overall. Damn my mock draft is already falling apart.
