Ryan Goins was playing 2nd

from BA: A three-sport star in high school, Daniels is a James Madison football and baseball signee—a dual-threat quarterback and an outfielder. At 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, Daniels projects as a corner outfielder with strength and power potential, and he has plus hand-eye coordination. Though an average runner, Daniels boasts plenty of athleticism, having also played basketball in high school and drawing football interest from schools in the ACC. Daniels didn’t play in the fall due to a broken left wrist.

Yeah haha. That's why i made that comment. But as mentioned by other posters...don't think he's going underslot, just taking less money by being drafted later.

I think Woodman might sign a little underslot which gives us some flexibility for other picks. Bichette was a nice pick and seems like he really wanted to be a Jay so i don't think it will be tough to get him out of his Arizona St Commitment. I think he goes for around slot money.

Thanks, i just was looking at the top 100. Will update.

1 (17th overall) T.J. Zeuch RHP Pittsburgh. BA (26th) Zeuch established himself as a prospect to follow with a strong freshman campaign, and then he develop into the ace of Pitt's staff as a sophomore. He missed the beginning of this spring with a groin injury, but got off to a strong start when he did take the mound. Zeuch's best pitch is his fastball, which sits at 92-94 and sometimes touches higher. Zeuch's extra large, 6-foot-7 frame allows him to generate solid extension towards home plate, making his pitches even more difficult for hitters to pick up out of his hand. His fastball also shows both sink and arm-side run, making it an effective ground ball-inducing pitch. His offspeed pitches, a slider and changeup, receive fringe-average grades from scouts, but he has solid command of his arsenal and repeats his delivery well. The development of his offspeed pitches will dictate his ultimate ceiling. MLB.com (28th) Fastball: 60 | Slider: 50 | Curveball: 50 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50 After a very strong showing in the Cape Cod League last summer, scouts were very excited to see Zeuch in action as a junior at Pitt. A groin injury kept him out the first month of the season, but upon his return, Pittsburgh became a popular destination for scouts. Zeuch has a four-pitch mix, all thrown with steep angle from his 6-foot-7 frame that could add more strength. He uses a relatively easy delivery to fire fastballs that have touched 96-97 mph since his return. He'll sit in the 92-94 mph range and his fastball has good run and sink to it. Zeuch will use both a slider and a curve effectively, with his breaking stuff occasionally flashing plus, though it's been inconsistent. He tinkers with a changeup in the bullpen, but doesn't have a ton of feel for it and doesn't use it much in games. He throws strikes with all of his offerings. With the weather warming in Pennsylvania and the chance to see Zeuch start against ACC competition, he was getting a lot of looks as the spring progressed. There's some helium here, with his name coming up often in first-round conversations. (Sickles) T.J. Zeuch, RHP, University of Pittsburgh: He's 6-7, has a plus fastball but mixes it with a potentially solid curve, slider, and change-up; he posted a 3.10 ERA in 10 starts with a 74/19 K/BB in 70 innings; he can be inconsistent but can develop into a mid-rotation starter or a power bullpen arm 2. (57th) J.B. Woodman OF Mississippi BA (119th) Woodman had some draft helium out of high school, where he was also a football quarterback, but he wanted to go to Ole Miss and wound up falling to the 40th round (Mets). Woodman was a contributor to the Rebels' 2014 College World Series team but took on a larger role the last two seasons as the club's everyday right fielder. He had his best season as a junior, leading the Southeastern Conference in home runs with 13 entering the league tournament. Woodman had a rough Cape Cod League turn, swinging and missing a lot, but he's made more contact this spring, allowing him to get to his power. Woodman has a good pro body at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, and at least average speed that could allow him to stay in center field in the short run. He has enough arm strength for right field and checks a lot of the same boxes as former Ole Miss outfielder Seth Smith, who's had a long big league career. He's hit lefthanders well this spring and his performance could push him into the first three rounds. MLB.com (83rd) couting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 55 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 45 Woodman might have gone in the top five rounds of the 2013 Draft based on talent, but signability dropped him to the Mets in the 40th round. After a late-season surge left him leading the Southeastern Conference with 14 homers entering NCAA tournament play, he should go around the third this time around. He doesn't have a true plus tool but he's at least average across the board and can play up the middle, claims few college players in this Draft class can match. Woodman hit .284 with a total of nine homers in his first two seasons at Mississippi, and he struck out in 37 percent of his plate appearances and slugged just .344 with wood bats in the Cape Cod League last summer. He's doing a much better job of recognizing offspeed pitches and making contact this spring. He employed more of a line-drive approach in the past but is driving the ball more consistently now and has the bat speed and strength for at least average power. His solid speed and instincts should allow Woodman to remain in center field, where his arm is stronger than most at the position. His quickness should enable him to steal a few bases but he needs to refine his technique. (Sickes) - Power hitter from the left side; made good progress refining his hitting skills this year; hit .323/.412/.578 this year with 14 homers, 12 steals; 33 walks, 48 strikeouts in 232 at-bats, taking sting out of some Cape Cod League struggles last summer. 3.(66) Bo Bichette SS Lakewood HS, St. Petersburg, Fla. BA (55th) Dante Bichette was a four-time all-star during his 14-year big league career, and his eldest son, Dante Jr., was the 51st overall pick in the 2011 draft. Five years later, Bo, the youngest Bichette brother, has a chance to go in about that same range. Bichette is home schooled, but plays at nearby Lakewood High. He has had a big spring at the plate, but that has also gotten the attention of opposing teams, who have liberally issued him intentional walks all spring. When he does get the chance to hit, Bichette shows a mature approach at the plate and plus power. The righthanded hitter has exceptionally fast hands, allowing him to whip the bat through the zone and drive the ball. His swing includes a deep load and an exaggerated back elbow swoop, but his bat works through the zone well and he controlled at-bats against elite competition on the showcase circuit. Bichette has a steady glove and a strong arm. He plays shortstop now and could go out as one, but will eventually move to second base or, more likely owing to his 6-foot, 200-pound frame, third base. No matter where the Arizona State recruit ends up defensively, Bichette's main attraction will always be his offensive ability. MLB.com (90th) Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 50 | Run: 40 | Arm: 45 | Field: 45 | Overall: 45 The son of former big leaguer Dante Bichette, and brother of Yankee farmhand Dante Bichette Jr., Bo Bichette clearly has some serious baseball bloodlines. Like the others in his family, he does things in a less than conventional way, but he has had some success against good competition. Over the summer, Bichette showed the ability to square up quality pitching and his raw power was on display when he won the Under Armour All-American Game Home Run Derby in Chicago. This spring, he was still hitting the long ball, but also was getting tied up on mid-range fastballs inside. While he doesn't have the same exact leg kick setup as his father and brother, there are a lot of moving parts to his swing which concerns some scouts. He does have more bat speed than his brother did coming out of high school. A below-average runner, he's probably best suited for second base defensively, or perhaps left field. Bichette has been a bit of a polarizing prospect this spring, with some unsure his unorthodox setup will work at the next level. But the bloodlines and the power potential could still have the Arizona State commit off the board in the early stages of the Draft. (Sickles) - Son of Dante Bichette; 6-0, 200 with bat speed from the right side; Arizona State commitment; questions about where he lands with the glove but he's always hit well and plays above his tools.

That's awesome news about Bo Bichette. I'm liking the pick even more now.

2 more picks till the Jays OTC!

Man, i wish you could trade picks in the MLB draft.

Pretty pumped for this. 20 more mins!

BA mock posted a few hours ago. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/mock-draft-5-2-moniak-remains-top/#wXLDMKrXjHwUM4XD.97

Org report from the recent BA magazine....which tells us....nothing new. lol. Blue Jays Tweak Their Process TORONTO The Blue Jays are looking to meld the old with the new in their first draft under general manager Ross Atkins, and things are clearly going to be different for scouting director Brian Parker. New club president and CEO Mark Shapiro, assistant GM Tony LaCava, director of baseball operations Mike Murov and farm director Gil Kim are all contributing to the process, while the club’s new high-performance department is also taking part. To ensure all the new parts integrate smoothly on draft day, the Blue Jays recently ran a six-round mock draft to develop their board and identify gaps in information, but also, as Atkins puts it, “to learn one another, our styles and what we’re accustomed to, what we’re not accustomed to.” “What we’re trying to do is maximize what was good by . . . trying to use all our resources,” he added. The draft will be important for the Blue Jays, given the way former GM Alex Anthopoulos thinned the system during last summer’s trade deadline shopping spree and their spending in Latin America capped after blowing their bonus pool last year to sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for $3.9 million. Parker will have the 21st, 57th and 66th picks. With a bonus pool of $6,603,300—which ranks 20th—the Blue Jays can shift some money around should someone unexpectedly drop, a strategy they’ve employed in the past. “If there are opportunities to maximize every single dollar you have,” Atkins said, “(there is) no question that we will be looking to do that.” JAYS CHATTER Over the past six years, the Blue Jays have focused on high school pitchers and premium position players in the early rounds of the draft, using their eight first-rounders on six pitchers, a center fielder and a catcher. Atkins was guarded about his philosophy. “Really, we try to value what history tells us, and try to connect the dots backward to determine what has worked in the past, what has been indicative of future success and how do we create the most value in this draft,” he said. “So it’s not position-specific, it’s not need-specific—it’s (about) value and based on history.” After three shoulder surgeries, 2014 first-round catcher Max Pentecost was activated from the disabled list on May 12 and returned to action at low Class A Lansing. He is limited to DH while he continues his throwing program.

Agreed.

Alrightttt. So personally i think you guys should kick me out of the league, that was a super dick move i pulled last night. I know a lot of you are really invested into the fantasy leagues (apparently almost as much invested i am in my GDT's when i'm inebriated). Saying that, i'm not a dick 99% of the time and will continue to set my lineups and run the team BAU until you guys decide what you want to do. I actually like everyone in this league and i don't want to f*** anything up. If i have to be replaced, i get it.

Well...i guess this happens when you delete a JFL19 GDT. Even the great TRM could not overcome it. I'll start another one tomorrow boys, no worries.

Alright. It will probably be the same as mine anyways. lol.

Let's just use this one.... Go Jays Go!
