The 21-year Shawn Buie is the closest to can’t miss as you can get, 75/90/50/60/75 80-85 speed ratings and 65 center field defense.

1st Round, 3rd Pick(17th overall) Toronto Blue Jays select LHSP Jeremy Komosinski(21, 2/5*) out of Tulane University
Great Competition: 12-2 1.84 147K 132IP 20G 5.7WAR
Signability: Normal, Bonus Demand: $3M
Injury Proneness: normal
Personality: Leader, Adaptability, Work Ethic, Baseball IQ. Financial Ambition
There were a number of high ceiling starters in this draft, but Komosinski was the most promising in our book as a college arm that has good personality traits and three pitches that are all well developed with a slider/sinker/splitter combination that will generate a lot of groundballs.

2nd Round, 1st Pick(47th overall) Toronto Blue Jays select RHRP Ricardo Maurer(23, 2.5/5*) out of Drury University

Signability: Very Easy, Bonus Demand: Slot
Injury Proneness: normal
Personality: Work Ethic
The best relief prospect we could find, our scouting hopes that we found a future closer that can hold down the job for a very long time. And he is cheap.

3rd Round, 2nd Pick(77th overall) Toronto Blue Jays select 1B Carlos Puentes(22, 1.5/4*) out of Fairfield University

Signability: Easy, Bonus Demand: $500k
Injury Proneness: normal
Personality: Work Ethic, Adaptability, Loyalty, Leader
Very similar to our 2nd rounder last season, we selected a high power potential first baseman from college, this time hitting from the right side. High potential for K’s.

4th Round, 3rd Pick(98th overall) Toronto Blue Jays select SS Lee Greening(21, 1.5/3*) out of University of Calgary
Poor Competition: .321-17-55 1.139OPS 4.5WAR 57G
Signability: Easy, Bonus Demand: Sot
Injury Proneness: normal
Personality: Unknown
A slick fielding shortstop with 60D at short, 65 at 3B and 70 at second base, the Canadian native was one who was very popular with our fans, and we decided to go with it.

5th Round, 3rd Pick(128th overall) Toronto Blue Jays select C Garrett Paul(21, 1/2.5*) out of Virginia Tech
Great Competition: .280-14-48 .937OPS 2.3WAR 50G
Signability: Extremely Hard, Bonus Demand: Slot
Injury Proneness: normal
Personality: Work Ethic
A defensive catcher with decent batting for depth.

6th Round, 3rd Pick (158th overall) Toronto Blue Jays select RHSP Jose Calles(18, 1.5/3*) out of Leadership Christian Academy
Poor Competition: 7-3 1.65 123K 4.3WAR 93IP 13GS
Signability: Extremely Hard, Bonus Demand: $240k
Injury Proneness: normal
Personality: Loyalty, Adaptability, Work Ethic
Young starter with a lot of groundball outs in his pitches, throwing an average fastball with a LOT of breaking balls. Will be fairly cheap and works hard.

7th Round, 3rd (188th overall) Toronto Blue Jays select 1B Joe Sokolow(21, 1.5/4*) out of UCLA
Fair Competition: .307-16-55 1.143OPS 4.3WAR 52G
Signability: Easy, Bonus Demand: $230k
Injury Proneness: normal
Personality: Baseball IQ
The best available guy on the list. Yes, we stack left-handed first baseman. 65/45/60/70/65 on the hitting side, he should be an easy sign.
