So far the list of candidates (barring fallers) that we have chosen for the 29th pick would be as followed.

Courtney Hawkins, OF, HS (5 votes)

Jose Orlando Berrios, RHP, PR (4 votes)

Victor Roache, OF, NCAA (3 votes)

Matthew Smoral, LHP, HS (2 votes)

Hunter Virant, LHP, HS (2 votes)

CJ Hinojosa, SS/2B, HS (2 votes)

Joey Gallo, 3B, HS (1 vote)

DJ Davis, OF, HS (1 vote)

Now Davis and Hawkins will most likely be gone by the time the Rangers pick at 29. In Davis case that doesn't seem to be an issue as he isn't presently that high on our draft board (though he is on mine). In Hawkins case, should he be gone before pick 29, we would simply go with the next highest player on our board, in this case Berrios, and Roache in that order.

Moving on to the supplemental rounds. The Rangers have been awarded the following picks:

39th overall (CJ Wilson)

53rd overall (Darren Oliver)

We also now, know (thanks to BA) what value each of these slots will be worth, which will help us in weighing signability concerns.

Pick 39 carries a value of 1,324,800 while pick number 53 carries a value of 954,800, which would roughly be the equivalent of slot reccomendations for a late first round pick and a very early supplemental pick a year ago.

With this in mind let's look at the possible candidates for players that could be available for those picks. Two players, CJ Hinojosa and Joey Gallo (who were both possibilities at 29 have a small chance of being available at the Rangers next pick, so they too will be included in this poll.

The rest of the draft board (IN RANDOM ORDER):
