  4. Nick J. Faleris 2:49 Toronto Blue Jays select Sean Reid-Foley (RHP, Sandalwood (Jacksonville, FL)) What's to like? I was flummoxed as to why Reid-Foley fell as far as he did the first day of the draft, and was even more so confused when I learned that the biggest concern was down velocity in his final showing before the draft. Reid-Foley was one of the most consistent performers at the prep ranks over the last twelve months, and prior to that final outing this spring was being linked to teams as high as the mid-first round. Some teams have concerns with the arm action, while others point out his athleticism and the likelihood that the arm could be easily cleaned-up with a few small mechanical tweaks that could improve his timing. After balancing ceiling and floor with Jeff Hoffman and Max Pentecost, respectively, in their first two picks, the Blue Jays snatched up a third potential top 15 talent in the draft class with pick number three. There were other high upside arms available, and even arms that will likely cost less in the way of up-front investment, but no one that has the combination of performance track record and well-rounded present arsenal of Reid-Foley. It was aggressive, but responsibly so, and that's exactly how you want to spend your picks when you are fortunate enough to hold more high leverage opportunities than other drafting orgs.
  5. The Blue Jays announced today that they’ve agreed to terms with fifth-round pick Lane Thomas, and MLB.com’s Jim Callis tweets that Thomas will earn a hefty $750K bonus. That’s more than double the $343K value of Thomas’ No. 144 overall selection. Thomas, a Tennessee commit, wasn’t ranked among MLB.com’s Top 200 draft prospects or the Top 100 of ESPN’s Keith Law, but Baseball America considered him the No. 172 prospect in this year’s draft class. BA praised the high school shortstop/center fielder’s athleticism, noting that many scouts believe he’s a true center fielder with plus speed once he’s underway. Others feel that his strong arm and athleticism will lend well to playing in the infield, per BA’s report. In his tweet, Callis noted that the Tennessee high schooler has solid “all-around tools.” At $9,458,500, the Blue Jays possess Major League Baseball’s fourth-largest bonus pool this year (as reported by BA’s J.J. Cooper in April), and they figure to save some money after drafting Tommy John victim Jeff Hoffman with the ninth overall pick. Hoffman, once considered a slam-dunk Top 5 talent in the draft, slipped due to his injury and isn’t likely to require the full $3.08MM value of the No. 9 overall slot in order to sign.
