Heimlich to the O's is a perfect fit IMHO

[burlingtonbandit]

Wonder if he signs for like 10K since he really has no other options.

[Pendleton]

 

Heimlich to the O's is a perfect fit IMHO

 

But he could save them from choking

[jays4life19]

I guess the chances of Tristian Beck falling to us is pretty slim eh

[Daniel Labude]

I'm still hoping for Pompey

[jb22]

Give us Pompeii

[jays4life19]

here we gooo

Draft day 2

[jays4life19]

Congrats to Boxy for being selected by the Giants in the 3rd round.

[BlueRocky]

Our son is gone

Detroit is onto us

[jays4life19]

Wtf Jake Wong is not Asian?

[Angrioter]

Adam Kloffenstein Blue jays

[BlueRocky]

Welp Groshan’s team mate.

[King]

[jays4life19]

Yesssssss.

[devo]

I like it

[King]

Nathan Rode‏ @NathanRode 1m1 minute agoMoreAdam Kloffenstein would've been my bet for the top high school guy to go today. Easily could've gone yesterday. Young for class, plus stuff. Great pick for the #BlueJays. #mlbdraft

[Slade]

Great pick, Groshans teammate.

[BlueRocky]

Well we wanted a pitcher and they got one

[Pendleton]

Love the sounds of that pick. Neat to draft HS teammates so early.

[King]

lol Aaron Hernandez

[Ray]

 

Nate Pearson like delivery.

[jaysguy44]

[burlingtonbandit]

Wonder if they feel like he will be easier to sign since they have his teammate. Curious what Gorshans will sign for given he was a projected to go a lot later in draft.

[Ray]

Kloffstein and Groshans gonna move up the league together like Bo and Vlad.

[BlueRocky]

Love this 3rd pick.

#43 overall prospect on MLB Pipeline.

 

Tall athletic body, electric fastball and slider. Good upside.

Sounds like a great pick with the only downside being signability. Get it done Shatkins.

Give how risk averse this front office is, I highly doubt they would punt a 3rd round pick unless they were positive they could sign him.

 

They probably go way under slot on Groshans, maybe slot or just under for Conine, and use the rest to sign Kloffenstein.

[glory]

Yeah this front office does not seem like they would operate like AA who will draft a top player and not care if he doesn't sign. I don't think they make the pick unless they think/know they have him at a certain price. We shall see.
