    Clinton Hollon- 94th baseball America Rowdy Tellez- 64th baseball America Jake Brentz - 81 baseball America Did they draft anyone else in the top 100?

    There are a million rounds in a baseball draft... teams basically pick until they want to stop... if players tried to do that... they would all get drafted eventually anyway. Boras actually got a 17 year old to finish high school early one year. So he was eligible for the draft... but no one knew. So after the draft Boras declared him a free agent.

    If we don't sweep the Orioles.... tank to a 6 to 10 pick.

    Jesus... 850 dollars for a tough sign... great move AA
  5. Caper
    I like the Orioles... it's the Red Sox I want to see lose.

    Always trade for a guy with the benefit of hindsight... that's what I say!

    It was as bad as David Cone for Jeff Kent..... one worked the other didn't.
  8. Caper
    Solid average!!

    I'm going to save that list I think.... will be interesting if even 10 of those guys goes top 20.

    That's good news. We will have to wait till next year... everyone will be happy when they see who we pick then I'm sure. I'd go a bit into tankolla mode in the second half.... start Stroman and Nolan and who ever else and see if they can stick.

    I think they just inked the tough signs.
  12. Caper
    4 years 40 million?
  13. Caper
    He is unsigned thus far. When is his deadline?
  14. Caper
    That's what I recall as well. If he hasn't liked the Jays draft... this is the 1st one I heard of.

    I may use the word punted, but I don't mean it in the sense they deliberately picked a guy with the intention of not signing.... I just think they were not that worried about him not signing. I think they are very comfortable with the 11th pick next year.

    Very, very good post.
  17. Caper
    So Keith laws reasoning about not punting the pick, has to do with GM's trying to save their job?

    Kevin Pillar has been really good. I really don't think there are a lot of bluejays fans that can differentiate a hockey and baseball draft.
  19. Caper
    It happens... look at the history of any teams draft.... you'll see years where you don't recognize a name.
  20. Caper
    If I had to guess. The Jays didn't like who was available...... The knew this draft was weak... they knew next draft was not... so they used the option they had on punting the draft.... really good move imo.... I don't want to take some weak 10 just to make some guys on a message board happy.
  21. Caper
    Should Blair make the point that punting a 10 for an 11 was a good move?
  22. Caper
    11 next year is better then 10 this year. It's a deeper draft. Same as the NBA..... number 5 next year is better then 1 this year... that's why it will be fascinating to watch teams attempt to tank next year. What do you mean lost development time? Are none of the players in next years draft going to play or practice until after the draft? Wasted resources? They are scouts.... they scout.. the Jays had lots of them... they scouted lots of guys. I am assuming the guys they wanted were taken by 10. ....What. You think the Jays should have went all out to sign Bickford so Bill the scout wouldn't feel he wasted his time? They can take a 19 or 20 year old next year and the prospect would be closer to the majors then Bickford. You do make a good point about the loss of leverage.... but really it's no different then 20 other teams picks in the 1st round. Overall I like the move.
  23. Caper
    My thinking is they liked a few guys... none of them made it to them... so they took a very tough sign... and get a better pick next year.
  24. Caper
    Can you critical think? 11 in a deep draft = better then 10 in a weak draft..... does that take a critical thinker to wrap your head around? I'm sure they had a few names in mind that they would hope they fall... they didn't... so they went with plan B... which is punt to a deeper draft next year... a very good plan IMO.
  25. Caper
    The Jays have been a good team the past 2 decades... for the most part. It just so happens they are in toughest division in sports.
