MLB.com write-up on Norris isn't too flattering. Mechanical issues and may have the upside of a #3 pitcher. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

They wont sign many of them. Norris is not going to Canada.

Agreed. For having so many picks, Toronto hasn't done a lot with them, IMO. As compared to the Red Sox, I mean.

[seak05]

Toronto has a bunch of picks, but none that were super high, and going to cost Bundy type money, so they can take a few risks. Bet they sign a couple of these guys, and let some of them go

He might be willing if Jose Bautista can hook him up...

Good article on Esposito if you are an ESPN insider. I don't know if I'm allowed to post the article on here (I'm assuming no)... but here is the link and a snippit:

"Listen to Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin's laundry list:

"Does he have tremendous speed? No. But he has very usable speed, he stole [31] bases [last season]. And does he have tremendous power? No, but he has pretty good power. Can he hit? Yeah, he can hit. Can he throw? Yeah, he can throw. And can he field? He can field. There just aren't a lot of players like him. He is kind of a ... I don't know, he's an anomaly really.""

No reason Norris won't sign if the BJs meet his demands.

There goes Hedges.

We're about 12 picks away from 94 with the O's 3rd rd pick. Any thoughts on what the O's could look to do there?

Is it too soon to go after Purke? Or has he been drafted already?

I think we'll go with a college arm.

I wouldn't mind seeing Dickerson with that pick if he is there.

Will do my best. Feel free to delete anything I accidentally put in the wrong place. Multitasking.

It is never too soon for Purke if you are going to pay him like a top-10 pick. Probably too early if you intend to pay him more like a 20-30 pick.

Think I will pass on Dickerson. Sounds like a slow guy who may only be an option at DH in the majors
