Looks like he will be a reliever/long man since CS Fullerton has a bunch of Senior Starters..

 

6.1 ip, 3 appearances, 4h, 4r ,2er, 2bb, 4k

 

He was sitting 89-92 in his relief appearance vs USC few days ago*

are you calling this one a bust or just genuinely being nice and posting? The Beede update threads stopped shortly after it was obvious he'd probably still be a first rounder.

I read in a tweet when I was trying to find information about Beede's start that he has signed the waiver and the jays are eligible to draft him

 

Interesting. I would have thought he would have done everything possible to avoid having to deal with Beaston and the Jays. It will create a bit of intrigue if he's still on the board when the Jays are drafting.

Moot point probablyu, sounds like he'll go before our 9th pick though won't he?

[G-Snarls]

Mayo and Callis both Beede will go top 5

 

And this is a year AA REALLY doesn't want to risk failing to sign his first rounders, in fact it would be sort of a disaster if he didn't get both signed

[NorthOf49]

Why wouldn't he? I don't remember him being bitter... He wanted to go to college.

Yeah I don't understand why he would have animosity towards the Blue Jays. We offered him a boatload of money. Ultimately, he decided he'd rather go to college. There's no reason to think the negotiating tactics we played with him were anything out of the ordinary.

You're right. I got the Paxton and Beede scenarios mixed up ITT.

Pretty violent on the delivery

[Laika]

Yeah that's a pretty gross delivery right now. Honestly looks like a right handed Juan Perez, lmao.

Impressive. Maybe he'll develop secondaries, even.

Drafting team should look at getting an advance booking discount on his Tommy John surgery

Yeah throws strikes, was actually a good pick...

[Ziggyy108]

I didn't follow the draft last year ... Is there anyone we passed with the Bickford pick thats looking like a stud??

It wasn't a great draft overall. Pitcher Braden Shipley and J.P. Crawford seem to be the names that get tossed around when discussing who the Jays could have drafted instead of Bickford. Crawford would definitely fill a big need. If there are any studs in this draft class they probably went before the Jays pick (Gray, Bryant and Meadows are some of the better candidates.)

I would like to see him really go big with those two first rounders, use the 2nd rounder money to give em a boost and make it happen.

They shouldn't have to do that, if they have signability issues the jays should stay away especially for that 11th pick

Yep

 

It still seems possible that they deliberately punted last year's pick anyway.

 

Gotta draft well and sign this year. The farm system needs a boost.
