The MLB Draft is just a day away and for the Jays, the anticipation is palpable.
After suffering through almost an entire decade of J.P. Ricciardi’s mostly inept stewardship, Alex Anthopoulos, the Blue Jays new GM, heads into his first draft looking to put his stamp on this team.
With three first round picks (11th and two in the supplemental round), Toronto has a great opportunity to inject some legitimate talent in to the team’s minor league system.
After putting together a mock draft and an analysis of the Jays needs (links provided at the end of this slide show) I decided to have some fun and look at the best first round picks in team history.
Here we go.
