Ross Atkins and the Blue Jays’ front office had a key opportunity to continue work on the roster of the future at the MLB draft on Monday night.
There are a lot of armchair scouts and GMs out there, but I think most Blue Jays fans were pleased to see pitchers selected with the first two picks, an area of need in the minor league pipeline, at least compared to a talented group of offensive talent.
They selected Alek Manoah in the first round with the 11th pick and went with another right-handed starter at #52 with Kendall Williams.
