Stroman says he knows he's not pitching tonight and his agent has told him to just hang on and see what happens. #Bisons #bluejays

This is weird.
Where was that throw last night Reyes
ANALYSIS: Toronto has been tied to lots of players, a function of their history of aggressively chasing upside and/or tough signs while also having lots of scouts and two picks in the top 11. There's a rumor they've already cut a deal with Touki Toussaint at the 11th spot, as they aren't worried the Mets will take him. The Jays are rightfully worried that the Mets may take Turner, because they absolutely would, so they take him here. Sean Reid-Foley, Grant Holmes, Newcomb, Pentecost and Finnegan have all been mentioned here as well.
ANALYSIS: The long-rumored Toussaint pick is a well-known rumor here, though a late rumor I heard last night has Virginia closer Nick Howard in play here well under slot, as many teams think he can start, but could also rush to the big leagues as a reliever. This is believed to be Jeff Hoffman's floor if he gets this far.
Canadian prep RF Gareth Morgan has long been a target of the Blue Jays and Phillies and they likely need to take him in the 2nd round to get him.

#BlueJays to start Stroman on Saturday. Korecky DFA.
Kiley McDaniel came out with his 2nd mock draft today.
At 9 -- you guessed it, Turner. I'm not buying the Jays will take him until y'know they take him. His analysis:
Toussaint at 11:

In the draft projection they had they have Hoffman gone at 7.Looks like Toussaint will be a Blue Jay. I don't like the Turner pick. Hoffman along with Toussaint would give this franchise some deadly pitching depth in the minors. You can grab a SS in the 2nd round/3rd considering they like Gareth Morgan at that spot as well.
