Zack Wheeler, the player the Rays decided they didn't need to scout again, went sixth to the San Francisco Giants.
Wheeler went to East Paulding High School in Georgia. He impressed Tampa Bay enough that the Rays were confident he wouldn't be around at 30th. He likely wouldn't have lasted past Atlanta at seventh. The Braves like taking the top local talent. (With Georgia so fruitful, that's a good thing.)
