Sounds like a very intriguing prospect. Did the Jays have him announced as a catcher or a pitcher? Known since starring in the 2011 Little League World Series, Danner is one of the better legitimate two-way players in this Draft class. The scouting industry is still split down the middle on whether he'd be better suited on the mound or behind the plate at the next level. Danner has spent more time, especially in showcases, showing what he can do as a pitcher. He has a live fastball that can touch 94-95 mph and complements it with a solid curveball and a changeup that flashes above-average. He can fill the strike zone with all three, coming from a high slot. The UCLA commit also has the chance to a special catcher. He has good hands and a plus arm defensively and while he's a below-average runner, his athleticism helps him move well behind the dish. He swings the bat well from a crouch set up, with quiet pop that could end up being average power in the future. The one thing scouts agree on is that Danner's grades will improve once he starts to focus on one craft. But even as the spring unfolded, there was division among scouts whether he should stay on the mound or behind the plate at the next level.

Here's hoping you get one of your picks

Another multi hit night

You're reacting like I said he was good lol Castro is a good example of a thrower who hasn't developed into a pitcher.

Joe West

The O's speak pretty highly of him, and have said they want to give him the development time he missed to work on his stuff, but then they keep going and calling him up.

Just got a face full of Flower power. The Nats really need bullpen help

I can't believe I didn't think of that

Perhaps another Miguel Castro type arm, except hopefully one that will be given proper time to develop his secondary pitches?

Gotta turn him into a side arm reliever if he doesn't turn out as a SS

Jeter Downs. Do you think his parents named him after Derek Jeter?

The Jays haven't seemed to develop many top of the order type bats over the years, it would be great if Warmoth can be that kind of player for us somewhere down the line.

Yeah one of the conditions of him signing will be having to punch himself in the face for that.

God I hope this kid makes it in baseball

Not surprising that it's the Nats who are willing to take a chance on the questionable character

Panel sure doesn't sound too bullish on Houck

Manuel said he talked to a scout who compared the bat to Dozier, and used that to justify Warmoth still being a good pick even if he has to move to 2B Edit - Or maybe he was comparing his potential trajectory to Dozier, who had a huger power spike in pro ball

The talk about Warmoth's trajectory is encouraging for sure. Can't complain about a Brian Dozier comp, though that was obviously the most positive one they came across.

Always a bloody commercial before the Jays pick, every damn year ffs. f*** you, whoever's network I borrowed this stream from

More athletic Lyle Overbay?

Thanks bud. Underslot pick for the Yanks?

I fell asleep out on the deck in a lounge chair haha any big surprises thus far? Glad I woke up in plenty of time for our picks!

Charles Manson also has groupies, some people are just twisted.

That doesn't sound fun at all!
