DRAFT DAY!

The Rays have the 1st pick.

The Jays pick 10th, but have no 2nd Round pick (for signing Angel Prieto).

With the first pick, the Rays took OF Gil Cotton.

Toronto's picks by round.

1. SP Turkekul Yildiz. High Schooler from PA. Considered a plus-plus pitching prospect, though he is still young.

3. LF Jose Lugo from Puerto Rico, via Central Arizona College. High contact and above average power but not great defense.

4. C Mike Rogers. High Schooler from IL. Above average power and good receiving but needs to work on his arm.

5. SP Jose Vidal. High Schooler from TX. High command sinker baller. May be tough to sign.

6. RP Kevin Harper. HS LA.
7. SP Bill Guerin. Chandler-Gilbert CC. From WINNIPEG, MB
8. RF Roberto Montero. HS OH.
9. RP Manuel Orozco. HS FL
10. 1B Rob O'Cromley. HS TX
11. LF Jamie McIntyre. HS IL
12. SP Pedro Ramirez. Puerto Rico. HS SC
13. RF Cal Dunham. HS KS
14. SP Albert Adams. HS MI
15. SS Jorge Ramirez. HS FL
16. RP Duong Dang. HS CA
17. C Christian LeBlanc. UNC Chapel Hill
18. SS Carlos Martinez. HS SC
19. SP Miguel Gutierrez. HS FL
20. CF Mike Williams. Long Beach State.
21. C John Cannon. U. of South Carolina
22. CF Brent Byers. HS DE
23. 2B Pat Hastings. HS FL
24. CF Vince Hill. HS CA
25. SS John Davies. HS TX
26. CF Dale Romanov. HS ON. VANCOUVER, BC
27. SS Pierre Renaud. HS ON. MONTREAL, QC
28. SP Sam Acker. Lousiana Tech. TORONTO, ON
29. C Chris Beasley. HS ND
30. SS Harris Warren. U. of Cincinnati

We have four outstanding: Yildiz, Lugo, Rogers, and Vidal.

Both Yildiz and Vidal may take some finessing.
