  1. Some guys they draft knowing they won't sign, but to talk to them and build a relationship for the future draft they enter.
  2. Ryan Johnson, Ace he was a potential high pick last summer, do you know what happened?
  3. Tejada lol Easy no hitter
  4. They told teams they are going to college, and the teams aren't picking them.
  5. Jose Espada http://www.elnuevodia.com/deportes/beisbol/nota/joseespadaprimerboricuaescogidoeneldraft-2058123/ The right-hander Jose Espada, graduated from high school Jose Collazo Colon, recently became the first Puerto Rican selected in the amateur draft in the majors, when the Toronto Blue Jays claimed him in the fifth round, 152 overall shift. Your selection is somewhat surprising because listeners patio did not expect any Puerto Rican was chosen in those first five rounds. The coameño 6'0 "tall and 170 pounds, has a fastball that reaches 88 miles per hour as reported by the listeners themselves, his ball moves well in the area forcing batters to make many swings and fail . Meanwhile, center fielder Nestor Muriel was the second choice, in turn 169 in the sixth round by the Houston Astros. Muriel is a graduate of the Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy. He is a player of 6'2 "tall. http://recend.apextech.netdna-cdn.com/images/tn/0/294/3068/4386/473/618/2015/06/09/20150409_tusdeportes_prospectospeloteros_wlv_10.jpg

  7. Cool. So Harris (slot), Maese (pre-draft deal)?, Wise, Bergen and Cardenas all have agreements.
  8. Bergen: Jeff Pillow ‏@JeffPillowCBB 3h3 hours ago Travis Bergen and Kal Simmons will not be returning to Kennesaw State and will sign with their MLB teams, sources tell @OmahaChronicles
  9. Found an article on Cardenas: http://gobarrybucs.com/news/2015/6/9/BB_0609151137.aspx MIAMI SHORES, Fla.—Junior shortstop JC Cardenas became the highest pick in program history on Tuesday as he was selected in the sixth round (182 overall) by the Toronto Blue Jays in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. "It was always my goal to get drafted," Cardenas said. "My dream, since I was a little kid, has been to play pro ball. The Blue Jays were my first workout and they've been following me since high school. It feels really good to be going somewhere I'm wanted and appreciated." Cardenas put together an outstanding junior campaign. He was second on the team with a .352 average and 57 hits. He led the squad with 46 runs scored, four triples, 24 stolen bases. He also led the team with a .519 slugging percentage and .457 on-base average. He had 17 multi-hit games and had a streak of 29 straight game reaching base safely. Cardenas will report to the Blue Jays minor league facility in Dunedin, Fla., and from there be assigned in the system. "I want to thank all the coaches at Barry University: head coach Marc Pavao, assistant coaches Alex Gonzalez, Kevin Howard, Chris Leon and Erik Busine for always pushing me to the limit to be the best player I can be," Cardenas said. "I can't thank them enough for the opportunity to play at Barry University and have a chance to live out my dream." Cardenas tops the mark of 307 (10th round-Washington Nationals) set by right-hander Manny Rodriguez in the 2011 draft. Catcher Yan Gomes, the only Buccaneer currently in the majors, was tabbed 310 (10thround-Blue Jays) in the 2009 draft. He is the 16th player drafted from the Bucs since 2006.
  10. TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays and first-round pick Jon Harris are believed to be nearing agreement on a deal that will pay the Missouri State right-hander the No. 29 spot’s assigned value of $1,944,800, according to multiple industry sources. The quick signing may very well be followed by contracts for the other players chosen in the first 10 rounds of the draft by amateur scouting director Brian Parker, who has a signing bonus pool of $5,411,000 to work with that made signability an important factor. Before the draft started, Parker said in an interview that with the seventh-smallest pool, "you really need to bear down and make sure you’re getting the right player – but you’re also getting him at the right price." After selecting Harris, Parker said, "we’re comfortable with where everything is with him and his advisers." Harris was projected by some as a top-10 pick and the Blue Jays were thrilled that he slid to them. He sounded eager and ready to get going during a conference call with media Monday night, saying, "Toronto’s going to be a great fit for me, it’s going to be a new home for me and I’m going to do what I can to wear the Toronto blue proudly." Harris throws from a high three-quarter arm-slot and features a fastball that sits 92-94, with an above average slider, a changeup and a curveball. Area scout Dallas Black plus several other evaluators were able to follow him right to the end of his season. While there’s some polish to his game, Harris readily admits he still has some "quirks" to work on. He wants to improve his command to both edges of the plate, build on his confidence and add a few pounds. Some believe he has the potential to advance quickly through the system.

  14. Story on Connor P from Alexis Brudnicki http://www.canadianbaseballnetwork.com/canadian-baseball-network-articles/2015/5/31/qblr4v9f4u1ho2iwntqtcelvnyh2pv SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Over his four years at Canisius College, Connor Panas has evolved as a hitter. The 22-year-old’s confidence continued to build as Panas gained experience with the Golden Griffins, getting better each season and learning from the last. The senior became one of the biggest threats in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and gave his team everything they could ask for, playing multiple positions around the diamond, hitting out of various spots in the lineup, and always intimidating and impressing. “It’s always an exciting at-bat when he’s up,” teammate Brett Siddall said. Added Griffs hurler Devon Stewart: “Obviously Connor is very good for us. He was good for us last year, good for us this year, and he’s getting his swing back a little bit and has played very well.” “He’s been unreal,” sophomore pitcher Zachary Sloan said. Panas says he didn’t do much differently this year, one that saw him hitting .379/.476/.633 with 10 home runs, 17 doubles, seven triples, 65 runs scored and 67 runs driven in through 62 games before his team headed into the Springfield Regional after winning the MAAC championship in Canisius College history. The Etobicoke, Ont., native kept it simple, had a positive mindset, and used his experience to propel him to his best season. “[i’m proud of] maintaining a pretty good batting average and seeing a lot of power increase from last year to this year,” Panas said, after adding a solo home run to his total to lead off Saturday’s regional game against Missouri State’s top hurler Jon Harris.“I’m just lifting harder, more reps over the years, as well as not just statistics-wise, but I’ve become more of a versatile player for our team, with all the injuries … “I’ve never played centre field before this year and now you see me out there running down balls. It’s pretty neat just to be able to play a variety of positions to help our team win.” Adding a new position to his repertoire certainly can’t hurt the left-handed-hitting senior, who can start thinking about his draft potential now that his final collegiate season has come to a close, after the Griffs lost two straight regional matchups on Saturday to be eliminated from the road to Omaha. “I’ve just been trying to win that [MAAC] championship as well as do well in the regionals, but I guess now we’re moving forward and it will be on my mind,” he said. “I am pretty excited about it … come June with the draft, if my name gets called, I’ll be honoured. Hopefully I can get a chance somewhere. I’m very excited for the next few weeks.” Panas was a member of the only two Griffs squads to ever win the conference title, the first championship victory coming in his sophomore year before closing out his senior season with a run on the road to Omaha after being named MAAC tournament MVP, going 13-for-26 with 12 RBI. “Being a senior, I wanted to win another championship,” he said. “That feeling, sophomore year, winning that was unbelievable. It was probably the best feeling I’ve ever had in baseball, going to the NCAA regionals at UNC … “It’s amazing, in four years to get two championships. All four years we’ve been in the MAAC championship final, obviously freshman and junior year [didn’t go as well], we could have had four rings on our fingers, but it’s a big step for Canisius College and I hope they do well in the future.” For the first time in four years, that future for the Golden Griffins doesn’t include Panas, a fact that struck him when he returned to the dugout after his last at-bat in Springfield, a groundout to Oregon shortstop Mark Karaviotis. “When I got out and was running back to the dugout it hit me,” he said. “I was trying to hold it in but it was pretty hard, just realizing that was my last at-bat ever in college, so it was pretty [emotional] … It’s been an amazing ride here at Canisius. We’ve got two championships under our belts and just coming to regionals and trying to compete two times, it’s been a great opportunity.”
