The Toronto Blue Jays used their first pick in the MLB Draft yesterday on RHP Gunnar Hoglund out of the University of Mississippi, a starting pitcher who is going to be missing some significant time after undergoing Tommy John surgery back in May.
The organization will not have a pick until the third round at 93rd overall after surrendering their second-round pick because of the George Springer signing earlier this off-season.
