This is the first in a three-part series about the Blue Jays and the upcoming June (July? August?) First-Year Player draft. Parts II (the Mocks) and III (the Dark Horses) will be published over the next few days.
I usually wait until some time closer to the draft to write these articles, but (a) there is not a lot of new information these days, so things are unlikely to change dramatically and (b) with all the news about possible season cancellations and Tommy John surgeries, I could really use a positive article or six.
Any draft entails considerable strategic thinking.
