Blue Jays What If’s Part 2: The 2010 Draft

While the jays have drafted well at points, there are some times where they severely messed up. The 2010 draft is one of the biggest misses.

What actually happened:

In the 2010 draft, the Toronto Blue Jays had the 11th overall pick. With it, they drafted right-handed pitcher Deck McGuire from Georgia Tech. Still left on the board was Florida Gulf Coast left-hander Chris Sale. Sale was drafted two picks later, at 13th by the Chicago White Sox. The Jays also ended up taking Noah Syndergaard, Aaron Sanchez, and Justin Nicolino.
