Lol. So you gave me a negative vote. That's sad, I thought we were gambling buds.

2017 Blue Jays Homerun Contest

After an apprenticeship in Kentucky's bullpen, Logue became a reliable starter as a junior, posting a 7-5, 4.84 year, showing the ability to generate strikeouts with his slider, but also showing a propensity to give up hard contact when he caught too much of the plate. Scouts see him moving back to the bullpen as a pro, a role they saw him excel in last summer in the Cape Cod League. Logue's 87-90 mph fastball and fringe-average slider both might play up more in short stints as a matchup lefty.

You can pretty much drop everyone but 1-2 guys from your farm. -
Scouting Report: Laws was closing the season with a flourish, with 14 strikeouts in his final start in the Conference USA tournament. He's a redshirt sophomore who attended East Carolina in fall 2014 but transferred after a coaching change. He's athletic enough to have been a star basketball player in high school, scoring more than 1,200 points. Statistically, he dominated in 2017, ranking 16th nationally in ERA (1.87) and in the top 25 with 1.21 walks per nine innings. He's similar to Mariners farmhand Max Povse as a rangy 6-foot-8 starter who pounds the strike zone, getting ground balls and swings and misses with an 88-92 mph fastball that can touch higher. His slider and changeup have made progress in 2017, and while neither grades as above-average presently, he keeps both pitches down.

Scouting Report: The Athletics drafted Lundquist in the 36th round out of high school, but he instead went to Long Beach State and became a three-year starter for the Dirtbags. Lundquist is physically well-put together and has raw power in his 6-foot, 210-pound frame, but has struggled to get to it consistently in games. He served as Beach's leadoff hitter rather than hitting in the middle of the order for much of the season, highlighting that inability. Lundquist has a good bat path and good bat speed, but his pitch recognition is below-average and he can get out on his front side. He is an average runner with an average arm and projects as a fringe-average to average defender in left field, with just enough arm to handle right.

Scouting Report: A switch-hitting college middle infielder with a track record of success, Large lived up to expectations this season, helping the Tribe to a solid 31-win regular season. Listed at 6-foot, 175-pounds, he is a solid athlete whose calling card is his bat. Some scouts give him above-average raw power, and he has a chance to get to it because of his feel for hitting. He’s comfortable working deep counts, isn’t afraid to draw a walk and can drive balls to both gaps. He’s an above-average runner in workouts, and while it doesn’t always play on the bases, it could allow him to play the outfield and become a utility option. He’s a switch-hitter with sneaky pop from the left side. Large’s range and hands are fringy and he should become an an average defender at second.

Probably time to remove the "Elite" part of the league name. BORD. I like it. -
Scouting Report: Adams ranked No. 154 on the BA 500 out of high school and was drafted by the Cubs in the 37th round. He instead became a cornerstone player at USD, hitting in the middle of the lineup and starting at catcher since he was a freshman. Adams is a big-league bodied catcher at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds and uses his strength well on both sides of the ball. His raw arm strength grades as plus and earns an occasional 70 on the 20-to-80 scouting scale, while at the plate he possesses big power to all fields and enough feel to hit to get to it. He has had swing-and-miss issues to go along with his power production. Defensively Adams' hands, receiving and blocking are well below-average and need significant work. Some evaluators believe those skills can improve to be adequate in the context of everything else Adams provides, but others think he will eventually have to move positions, either to first base or an outfield corner. Regardless, Adams' size, power and pedigree will make him one of the top catchers off the board.

Warmoth played his travel ball with the Orlando Scorpions as a teammate of Brendan Rogers (No. 3 overall pick in 2015) and Virginia outfielder Adam Haseley, also a likely first-round pick in 2017. A starter since early in his freshman season at North Carolina, Warmoth started to emerge offensively as a sophomore, hit well in the Cape Cod League (.270 with four home runs) and was having an All-America-caliber season as a junior. Warmoth's older brother pitched for Stetson and Florida State and has reached Triple-A with the Angels, and the younger Warmoth has an accurate, plus arm that rates as his best tool. His arm strength, good hands and solid range give scouts confidence Warmoth can stay in the middle of the diamond, and many believe he'll stay at shortstop. Other see him as an offensive second baseman, and his offensive performance was pushing Warmoth into first-round consideration. His power is mostly to his pull side, but Warmoth has the ability to use the whole field and has a solid offensive approach, looking for pitches he can drive and showing the ability to make adjustments. Scouts see him as a high-floor, safe bet big leaguer who could exceed his offensive projections. As a high school senior, Pearson received little interest from pro teams. He was a tall righthander whose fastball could reach 93, but he had no usable offspeed pitch. So he enrolled at Florida International, where he got stronger and got some experience, earning more than 30 innings that spring. Following his freshman year, Pearson transferred to the JC of Central Florida, where his stock took off. In a bullpen during the fall, Pearson's fastball touched 100, creating buzz throughout the amateur scouting community. In a starting role in the spring, Pearson pitched mostly at 93-94 and touched 97 in most starts. His fastball shows late running or sinking movement and he made tremendous growth with his command. His changeup now projects as a plus pitch, showing late fade when he locates it down in the zone. He throws both a slider and a curveball, and scouts see his slider as a more prominent part of his future. The pitch shows slurvy shape and sits in the low 80s. Pearson's athleticism and rapid growth could lead him to come off the board as high as the back of the first round. Scouts have compared him to Carl Pavano because of his size, athleticism and potent fastball-changeup combo. Danner has been one of the most decorated high school players in recent years. He starred on the 2011 Little League World Series championship team from California, played for one of the nation's top programs at Huntington Beach High and donned the red, white and blue for the 18U National Team for two summers. He's a legitimate two-way prospect, though most scouts prefer him on the mound. Behind the plate, Danner is a capable receiver and has handled top arms well throughout his amateur career. He has a plus arm behind the plate. He shows plus raw power from the right side, though scouts see him as being more of a slugger than a pure hitter; he lacks elite bat speed and shows a pull-heavy approach. On the mound, Danner shows above-average control of his fastball and curveball. He pitches routinely at 90-93 mph and can touch as high as 95. His curveball has plus potential, showing late 12-to-6 break and consistently tight spin. Danner flashes feel for his changeup. Scouts question the deception of his fastball because he lacks explosive arm speed and high school hitters seem to square up his fastball more than scouts would expect. Danner has battled through shoulder soreness and some scouts are fearful of how he'll hold up. Danner is committed to UCLA and could be an immediate impact player for the Bruins if he makes it to campus, though teams will be interested in picking him on the first day of the draft.

Interested...what team needs replacing though?

Some interesting tibits. ____ As the draft approaches, the number of draft rumors multiply. Be it rumors of deals being cut high in the draft, players falling due to medical concerns or positive drug tests, all kinds of rumors have been floated. Deciphering what’s smoke and what’s more legitimate isn’t an exact process, but here we’ll break down some of the rumors that appear to have legs and identify emerging storylines to follow during tomorrow’s draft. One strength of this year’s class is the deep group of athletic high school outfielders. While Jordon Adell (No. 7 in the BA 500) and Austin Beck (No. 9) have long been thought of as fits in the top 10, Bubba Thompson (No. 25) Heliot Ramos (No. 30) and Tristen Lutz could all go in the top 20. Drew Waters (No. 23) is said to be in play from the mid-teens on. ADVERTISING The Padres and Rays are wildcards at the top of the draft. Both teams covet prep lefthander MacKenzie Gore, but are rumored to be looking for a player at the right price to allow them more flexibility later in the draft. Ramos has been rumored to be in the mix for the Padres throughout the spring, though that was previously thought to be with one of their later picks. The Rays are still mulling options and have been linked to Thompson. If neither of those outfielders go in the top five, they aren’t expected to last long. The Brewers, Angels and Pirates are connected to prep bats in the first round. There’s a handful of late movers and shakers with late traction as the draft draws near. The majority of teams have removed Oregon State lefthander Luke Heimlich from their draft boards since the revelation that he is a convicted sex offender. Heimlich was the No. 43 prospect in the BA 500 before being removed from the rankings. Central Florida JC righthander Nate Pearson has drawn some interest as high as the top 10. Peason’s fastball hit triple digits in a recent bullpen, and he was trending up throughout the spring. Southeastern Louisiana’s Mac Sceroler (No. 138) isn’t a consensus top three rounds prospect, but it appears likely that he’ll go that high in the draft. A few teams have scouted Sceroler aggressively. His ceiling is the second round. There are a few teams interested in Wisconsin-Milwaukee catcher Daulton Varsho (No. 100) on the first day of the draft. Some teams believe Varsho can stick behind the plate and are enthusiastic about his offensive upside, while others see him moving to left field and are hesitant to bite given his small sample of performance against quality pitching. Florida prep shortstops Chris Seise, Jeter Downs and Mark Vientos are all expected to go in the first two rounds. Depending on how the board plays out, any of them could go in the first round, starting as high as the mid-teens. UC Irvine’s Keston Hiura (No. 14) has generated interest inside the top 10. He worked out for the A’s this weekend, and appears likely to go somewhere from five to 15. The hierarchy of prep arms varies greatly between teams, with some clubs being particularly high on Michael Mercado (No. 48), Caden Lemons (No. 57) and Tommy Mace (No. 88). All three could be drafted higher than where they are ranked. Stanford righthander Tristan Beck (No. 41) is expected to be selected on the first day of the draft, despite missing the entire spring with a back injury. Many big leaguers are drafted after the first day of the draft, making the beginning of day two just as exciting as day one. Some names to monitor late on day one and early on day two include: North Carolina high school shortstop Greg Jones (No. 75) and Texas prep outfielder Mason House (No. 84) could both sneak into the back of the first day, and neither will last long into day two if they’re available. This year’s class of catching is down. Georgia prep Luis Campusano (No. 42) should be the first high school catcher drafted, though M.J. Melendez (No. 52) has day one interest as well. Sam McMillan (No. 117) and Blake Hunt (No. 123) could be in play in the second or third rounds. Hunt isn’t expected to come cheap, but some teams are high enough on him that he could be signed. There aren’t many college relievers that fit at the very top of the draft, but some teams view the fourth to fifth round as a fruitful window to grab relievers who could shoot to the majors quickly and save clubs money on the free agent market. Some to watch here would be Dallas Baptist’s Seth Elledge, Notre Dame’s Peter Solomon and UC Riverside’s Ryan Lillie, who some teams see as a starter, but he could be impactful and move faster as a reliever. Arkansas’s Chad Spanberger rose up draft boards late, as did Cal State Fullerton outfielder Scott Hurst and Loyola Marymount righthander Cory Abbott.
