While we still don’t have baseball in North America to watch, the upcoming draft will at least give those of us suffering from withdrawal something happening in real time. Unfortunately the draft has been withered down to just five rounds this year, but it will still provide some entertainment.
For the Blue Jays, there is a pretty significant opportunity with having the fifth overall selection, and regardless of what happens ahead of their pick, there will be plenty of talent to choose from. With the Tigers, Orioles, Marlins, and Royals ahead of them, part of the plan could be dictated by who is still available, but there’s another important question to ponder as well.
