Reverse Standings

With Pudge and the Rangers all mathematically eliminated from the play-offs, the only reason left for scoreboard watching the final week of the season is draft positioning in the 2010 draft.

With the recent tailspin, Houston has assured themselves a finish in the bottom 15 of the major league standings, assuring them a first round pick even if they sign a Type A free agent. #8 through #13 appears to be where the Astros will finish in the reverse standings. A note here that Jason Castro was selected in the #10 spot of the 2008 Draft.

#8 San Diego- 72 - 85- ----

#10 Houston- 72 - 83- 1
#11 Cincy.- 74 - 82- 2.5
#12 White Sox-75 - 81- 3.5
