2022 MLB Draft thread, July 17- 19 - Jays select HS LHSP Brandon Barriera 23rd overall
Posted: Fri May 20, 2022 11:23 pm
Held during the ASB this year, July 17-19, rather than at a random date midseason when the college World Series is still occurring.
The Jays will draft:
23rd overall.
60th overall.
77th overall.
78th overall.
98th overall.
And every 30 picks thereafter (as it was last year, there will be 20 rounds, up from 5 in 2019, and down from 2.4 million in 2019 and earlier).
Overall bonus pool: $8,367,700 (15th-largest leaguewide).
If you are a fan of Large Adult Sons, this is the draft for you. The currently-projected first overall pick? Matt Holliday's kid. Second overall? Andruw Jones' kid. Carl Crawford and consummate turn-of-the-millennium Guy Lou Collier's sons are projected mid-first-rounders. Do you have some recollection of an older player from, I dunno, 2010? Great, their kid is in this draft. Congrats: you are old. Your body is decaying and infirm and does gross things without your input. But Sons? Sons are forever.
A list of quality names will be added just as soon as MLB publishes the full draft-eligible list in a few weeks.
