Will the Toronto Blue Jays take the college kid who’s more mature, polished and will be able to progress through the minors quicker, or roll the dice and go with a high-risk, high-reward high school prospect who often times need a little more patience from their club in regards to development?
The Blue Jays have gone every which way under Mark Shapiro when it comes to the draft, going with a college arm, college bat, junior college arm and a high school player with his four first-round picks.
Three of those four picks currently find themselves in the Blue Jays top 13 prospects according to MLB Pipeline, including Nate Pearson at # 3 and Jordan Groshans at # 5.
