[Jimcanuck]

Blue Jays moved to Boca Chica, 40-50 minutes from my home. f***

 

Good cover for a trip to the chica capital of DR.

[TheHurl]

Yerzy was the Jays pick?

[Krylian]

Jays take JB Woodman with #57.

Doesn't sound too exciting from what the Network had to say about him.

[King]

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 55 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 45

Woodman might have gone in the top five rounds of the 2013 Draft based on talent, but signability dropped him to the Mets in the 40th round. After a late-season surge left him leading the Southeastern Conference with 14 homers entering NCAA tournament play, he should go around the third this time around. He doesn't have a true plus tool but he's at least average across the board and can play up the middle, claims few college players in this Draft class can match.

 

 

Woodman hit .284 with a total of nine homers in his first two seasons at Mississippi, and he struck out in 37 percent of his plate appearances and slugged just .344 with wood bats in the Cape Cod League last summer. He's doing a much better job of recognizing offspeed pitches and making contact this spring. He employed more of a line-drive approach in the past but is driving the ball more consistently now and has the bat speed and strength for at least average power.

 

 

His solid speed and instincts should allow Woodman to remain in center field, where his arm is stronger than most at the position. His quickness should enable him to steal a few bases but he needs to refine his technique.

[Jonn]

They described him as a 4th OF ceiling lol. And than s*** on him again saying there was a better college OF on the board lol

[TheHurl]

Successful SEC hitters do really well. However, I would have went with Heath Quinn. I can say his name now cause no one in the DDL will scoop him now.

JJ Cooper

‏@jjcoop36

Not that the D'Backs care but we had Yerzy ranked No. 248 on our board.

[Krylian]

Kinda hope that Woodman is an under slot pick to save some money for some higher ceiling talent later on.

[King]

Vancouver will be stacked Good Lord.

 

Hopefully they send Vlad Jr there as well.

I was thinking this as well, unsure though.

[burlingtonbandit]

Wonder if the Jays had pre-slot deals with these guys. If not, seems like they reached.

[P2F]

I wonder how many times Cooper and Co. got up to Toronto to watch Yerzy play. O/U @ 1.5.

[Krylian]

Vancouver will be stacked Good Lord.

Don't see them being that aggressive with Vladdy. But who knows.

Woodman had some draft helium out of high school, where he was also a football quarterback, but he wanted to go to Ole Miss and wound up falling to the 40th round (Mets). Woodman was a contributor to the Rebels' 2014 College World Series team but took on a larger role the last two seasons as the club's everyday right fielder. He had his best season as a junior, leading the Southeastern Conference in home runs with 13 entering the league tournament. Woodman had a rough Cape Cod League turn, swinging and missing a lot, but he's made more contact this spring, allowing him to get to his power. Woodman has a good pro body at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, and at least average speed that could allow him to stay in center field in the short run. He has enough arm strength for right field and checks a lot of the same boxes as former Ole Miss outfielder Seth Smith, who's had a long big league career. He's hit lefthanders well this spring and his performance could push him into the first three rounds.

I could see it they feel he's advanced enough.

He's not going back to Ole Miss so he's got very little leverage. Might get him to sign for 3rd round money. Not a huge savings though.

[King]

Ronnie Dawson! Big ten guy

[Trouba95]

When's our next pick fellas?

[King]

When's our next pick fellas?

 

It's coming up soon, the mlb draft tracker stopped working for me. Within 5 or so picks

[Jonn]

Ronnie Dawson! Big ten guy

 

Football player name. Football player body.

[King]

Louisville has a lot of players taken.

[Jonn]

We pick 66th overall

[burlingtonbandit]

Seems like a lot of off the board picks happening. Must be some under-slot deals.

[TheHurl]

Louisville has a lot of players taken.

 

9 Florida and Louisville now?
