This is my favorite thread each year. Not sure why...it just is.

[John Balkabella]

One of the things I like best about baseball!

 

Beside it being a very cool sport.

 

In the NFL, you are an unrestricted free agent if drafted outside the first round after four years, and you don’t even get to see the development, or lack thereof, unless the coaches tell you about practices. After four years in the minors, most of these guys are just getting started.

 

It is like you know them a little bit.

I disagree, I think the NFL opposed to the NHL or MLB is much better with the draft. Most first and second round picks come straight into the league and play day 1 and either you sink or swim. With NHL and MLB the draft happens, and for more casual fans like myself you kind of just forget about those players for 3 or 4 years until they are ready. Only the hardcore fans who follow the farm teams keep up with the new draft picks.

[John Balkabella]

Hey triple three, how are ya?

 

I know very little about NFL first round draft picks.

 

Rams fan here. Believe our last one was in 2016. Don’t have next year’s either.

 

Seems to be working out, though.

[WryNGinger]

I am definitely not a hard core fan but I do enjoy reading about the progress of the young talent in the Blue Jay's minor league systems. Home grown talent (or traded for early on like Espinal) makes rooting for the team that much better.

 

I am looking forward to any articles, deep dives or insites into any of our new prospects! Please post whatever you find. 👍😊

lue Jays draft picks with top-10 round slot values

Round 1, Pick No. 23: Brandon Barriera, LHP, American Heritage High (Plantation, Fla.) ($3,075,300)

Scouting Report: Barriera ended his season early, choosing to make his final start before his team’s schedule was over, which may become more common going forward (Hunter Greene did this as well) as pitchers try to avoid getting hurt right before the draft. He’s been up to 98 with a very fast arm and shows two very sharp breaking balls, both of which can touch plus, along with a plus changeup. He doesn’t offer much projection, but he also doesn’t need it given his present stuff, and his build right now seems sufficient for him to stay a starter. I don’t think he gets great extension over his front side, but it’s a minor quibble. It’s premium stuff, and he’s aggressive on the mound. If he gets to consistent strikes, he’s an above-average starter.

Blue Jays select hard-throwing lefty in first round, add versatile hitters

Round 2, Pick No. 60: Josh Kasevich, SS, Oregon ($1,216,100)

Scouting Report: Kasevich is very hard to strike out, with just 16 Ks in 277 plate appearances this year for a 5.8 percent strikeout rate that was the best for any player in a major conference this spring. He swung and missed at just 30 pitches all spring, only six of them fastballs, according to data from Synergy Sports, and it’s easy to see why – he has a short, simple swing that lets him put the ball in play a ton, but it’s flat so he doesn’t produce any power. He reminds me a lot of David Fletcher, who also never struck out and didn’t hit for any power in college, but has nearly 10 WAR despite being a below-average hitter in the majors because he can play strong defense at second and passable defense at short. Kasevich is a better shortstop than that, and hit more homers this year (seven) than Fletcher did in his whole college career. He doesn’t make much hard contact, so Fletcher’s career is probably a high ceiling for him, but Kasevich offers a high floor as well and I think he’ll be really good value for someone in the second round.

 

Free-agent comp., Pick No. 77: Tucker Toman, 3B, Hammond High (Columbia, S.C.) ($846,500 — for losing Marcus Semien)

Scouting Report: Toman, the son of Middle Tennessee coach Jim Toman, is a switch-hitting infielder with the potential to hit for average and power from both sides of the plate, with some risk around his contact skills. He has great bat speed, with a more fluid and powerful swing from the left side, although he had better results batting right-handed over the summer (in a small sample). He’s shown he can handle good velocity, but struggles more against breaking stuff. With below-average speed, he’s limited to third base or second if he stays on the dirt, with enough arm to probably stay at the hot corner – although if he remains on the dirt, it’ll be because of his instincts rather than athleticism or agility.

 

Free-agent comp., Pick No. 78: Cade Doughty, 3B, LSU ($833,200 — for losing Robbie Ray)

Scouting Report: Doughty hits with a super-wide stance in all counts, making it surprising he’s shown the power he has this year (19 doubles and 15 homers for a .567 slugging percentage). He hammers fastballs, but the noisy lower half – he steps back slightly and forward again, so his hips and torso are moving almost the entire time – might be why he’s had trouble with offspeed stuff. He’s played mostly third and second for the Tigers with a little bit of shortstop, and profiles best at second, with average speed that should allow him to stay on the dirt. His profile really comes down to the bat, specifically whether he can hit offspeed stuff more consistently. He had a big split between his results on fastballs and results on everything else, and he’s going to see a lot fewer fastballs once he gets into pro ball.

 

Round 3, Pick No. 98: Alan Roden, OF, Creighton ($623,200)

 

Round 4, Pick No. 128: Ryan Jennings, RHP, Louisiana Tech ($465,400)

 

Round 5, Pick No. 158: Mason Fluharty, LHP, Liberty University ($346,800)

 

Round 6, Pick No. 188: T.J. Brock, RHP, Ohio State ($268,300)

 

Round 7, Pick No. 218: Peyton Williams, 1B, Iowa ($210,300)

 

Round 8, Pick No. 248: Dylan Rock, OF, Texas A&M ($173,800)

 

Round 9, Pick No. 278: Devereaux Harrison, Long Beach State ($158,500)

 

Round 10, Pick No. 308: Ian Churchill, LHP, University of San Diego ($150,300)

 

Round 11, Pick No. 338: Pat Gallagher, RHP, Connecticut

 

Round 12, Pick No. 368: Nolan Perry, RHP, Carlsbad High School (NM)

[Krylian]

I guess this kinda means he's signing for sure...not like he wasn't anyway.

[TwistedLogic]

Will update OP tonight if I get a chance.

[Krylian]

Take it with a grain of salt....

 

[InsideThePark]

20th rounder Pace didn't know he was being drafted and turned it off after 19 rounds.

So he's a quitter.

[Dagagad]

I just had a quick look back at Keith laws personal top 100. It looks like we got 3 top 60 guys (and two top 35 guys) in our first 3 picks.

 

Also, Pace is his 98th ranked guy, which surprised me. Basically Law sees him as having a ton of upside physically but would need 2 years in the complex.

 

I’m assuming he’s a back up pick if we don’t sign someone higher?

If we don't sign a pick, we don't get the slot value to use elsewhere. We'd only have whatever was leftover from our punted picks.

[Dagagad]

Let’s say someone high up can’t come to an agreement. So, you could go to Pace and offer him more because of that.

There are a handful of HS guys that the Jays picked. Not sure where Pace falls in the pecking order with respect to how the Jays view their upside. But yes...if one of the big boys becomes unattainable, they'll be aggressively looking to sign one or two of the HS guys for sure.

[Blazeit420]

Let’s say someone high up can’t come to an agreement. So, you could go to Pace and offer him more because of that.

 

No, The Cats Ass is right.

 

If you can't come to an agreement with someone high up (rounds 1-10), you LOSE their slot value.

[Krylian]

No, The Cats Ass is right.

 

If you can't come to an agreement with someone high up (rounds 1-10), you LOSE their slot value.

 

I think what he's getting at is if Barriera doesn't sign (for example), the punted pick savings that you've accrued would now be able to be presented to Pace (or the other HS picks) instead.

[Iggy]

Not sure what you mean by punted pick savings.

Like Cats Ass said if Barriera doesn't sign the Jays lose his slot value of $3,075,300 ... as such, there is no punted pick savings when any player taken in rounds 1 - 10 are not signed

[Dagagad]

Yea, this is what I meant.

 

Fluharty our 5th rounder just signed for 222,500. His slot value was 347000. According to Callis on Twitter.

We took guys round 4-10 that wont sign for their full slot. Those savings are what I’m talking about.

Some of the guys we drafted in rounds 4-10 will be underslot. Plus the 5% overage we can use with minimal penalty. That extra pool of cash can be used. The belief is that those dollars will currently be used on Barriera and Toman to sign them overslot
