Major League Baseball officially announced the order for the 2012 draft -- as well as the four teams that will have two first-round picks. The Blue Jays, Cardinals, Red Sox and Brewers will have two picks in the first round, the Blue Jays because they were unable to sign last year's first-round pick Tyler Beede, the other three because they lost superstars -- Albert Pujols, Jonathan Papelbon and Prince Fielder, respectively.
