2019 Wildcard Bluejays Mock Draft

Kyle Freeland (Col - SP)

Draft: Finding some major league ready offensive talent will be key for Wildcard in this draft as itthe team has weaknesses in depth along with holes at catcher and utility. Hitters Ramon Laureano (Oak - OF), Stephen Piscotty (Oak - OF), Jake Bauers (Cle - 1B) and Yuniel Diaz (Bal - OF) could all be in play here though there are many that are salivating on what Laureano might be able to do in a full season giving him the nod
here.  

Prediction:
RD 1: Ramon Laureano (Oak - OF) - See above
RD 2: CJ Cron (TB - 1B) - Need depth at 1B/Util that Cron can provide
RD 3: Jorge Alfaro (Mia - C) - Starting in Miami with middle of the order pop will help
RD 4: Diego Cartaya (LAD - C) - Young but MCab comparisons are too great to ignore
RD 5: David Robertson (Phi - RP) - Rule-5 Draftee
RD 6: Jeter Downs (LAD - SS) - Keeper

Prospect Draft:
RD 1: Austin Listi (Phi - 1B, OF) - Top Phillies minor leaguer will be ready soon
RD 2: Chavez Young (Tor - OF) - Very underrated, buy now before too late
RD 3: Osvani Gutierrez (LAD - SP) - Young projectable Cuban arm with some velocity
