Blue Jays Discussion: Save some runs for the other games, guys. (Jays score team record 28 runs in Friday night drubbing of Red Sox. Yes, that says 28. In one game)

Not overly excited about this pic. Seems like a defence first guy. Hopefully, I'm wrong but seems like a potential super utility ceiling kind of guy.

16 strikeouts in 61 games? Did I hear that right? He does NOT fit in.

Defense and good plate discipline and now see if the development team can bring out some power.

That would be awesome.

Josh Kasevich SS

36th on Fangraph’s board

Gave him a future 70 hit tool. Keith Law said he reminds him of David Fletcher, but has a better chance of sticking at shortstop.

Looks like he's a rounded prospect but just a first thought off of what I've read so far. As we find more info on him I could change that sense but it's my first reaction on him

That's a big win if he's able to achieve that.

5 Sleeper Breakout Candidates for the 2022 MLB Draft — Prospects Live

By now, some of the “top” college guys in the 2022 class are becoming household names among folks that follow the industry. Brooks Lee, Carter Young, Brock Jones…. but who are some sleepers in this class on the precipice of a big 2022 season who could vault themselves into day one?

This is old but sounds like he can hit the ball hard.

I have a sudden urge to punch a face. No idea where it came from

Beat show of all time

Toman at 77 overslot, Ben Joyce at 78 underslot

Well, give the Orioles the 68th pick next year.

 

[phillipmike]

Not sure the credibility though.

So this report looks to be right. Toman retweeted this account many times. He also retweeted three mocks on July 15th with 2 having him going to Toronto and 1 that had him linked to the Jays all with the 23rd pick;

I laughed at this more than I should have.

Bring on the Toman!

[SDig14]

thats the one that made the subway comment right ?

Yes, and many other things. He says a LOT of things. Not a good human.

 

[The Nemesis]

thats the one that made the subway comment right ?

Yep. Classy guy, for sure.

More Josh Kasevich scouting report (BA):

Oregon has produced a handful of highly-drafted infielders in recent years, including Nick Madrigal, Cadyn Grenier and Beau Philip. Kasevich is the latest in that line and likewise has a chance to be a top-two round pick after continuing to show steady defensive ability at shortstop and solid production at the plate. A 6-foot-2, 200-pound hitter, Kasevich slashed .310/.383/.445 through his first 61 games this spring, while showing good zone control—24 walks to 16 strikeouts—and hitting seven home runs and 10 doubles. He has a flat bat path and doesn’t elevate the ball consistently, with almost half of his batted balls put on the ground. Scouts have liked his hard-hit ability in the past, so perhaps with a slight swing change he could tap into more in-game power, though contact and on-base ability are more in his wheelhouse than slugging. He’s a steady and reliable defender at shortstop who should have a chance to stick at the position at the next level. He isn’t a great runner and doesn’t have the sort of quick-twitch lower half that scouts want to see in big league shortstops, but he rarely makes mistakes with the glove and has a career fielding percentage of .974 with just 14 total errors in 130 games played.

Sounds like a higher floor, safer Biggio who can stay at SS.

Makes you wonder how many times there's a situation like Toman where another team takes a guy just to screw another team. They said Baltimore couod have signed Fabian last year at 41 but the Red Sox took him one pick before them and didn't sign him. Ended up in Baltimore anyways, but if anyone takes Toman out of spite we may have to send a message.

Rajai Davis that's a name i haven't heard in ages

 

[Canada4Gold]

Think Brock Porter goes to Texas in the 4th round. They took Rocker at 3 and don't pick again until the 4th round. They can and will go well overslot

 

[as Pure as Evil]

haha and another commercial

 

[Emerica]

There it is, the toe man

 

[leafsrule123]

Super annoying they go to commercial during the Jays picks, gotta love American broadcasting…
