Today the teams will select players in round 2 through 30.  The Jays have two additional picks in the second round and one in the third.  Their first few picks of the day come at 61 (2nd round); 69 (Eliopoulos); 80 (Scutaro); 93 (3rd round); and 113 (Barrett).   Then it is down to every 30th pick.  The timetable is a lot faster on day two, the picks come every thirty seconds or so.

There are still some bigger names left on the board and the Jays can still expect that their in depth scouting has found some gems they can steal in this part of the draft.

The picking starts at noon.

We will add picks as they are made.

#61 - 2nd round - Griffin Murphy LHP

MLB.com

Fastball: Murphy ran his fastball up to 93 mph, showing a little more velocity than he has in the past.

Curve: His curve was improved as well. It's a true curve, a hard breaking ball he threw 74-76 mph.

Changeup: He exhibited a good feel for a changeup, giving him a third option.

Control: Command had been an issue in the past, but he struck out four at the showcase and showed much improvement with his control.

Poise: He showed plenty of mound presence in this elite showcase.

Physical Description: Murphy is a tall, athletic lefty with high, square shoulders.

Medical Update: He pitched through a neck injury during last summer's Area Code Games, which definitely hurt his performance and stock. But he's healthy now.

Strengths: The chance to throw three average-to-above pitches. Tall, athletic frame.

Weaknesses: He's had command issues in the past. He'll need to show that the improvements on display at the showcase were more than a one-time thing.

Summary: Murphy began to separate himself among high school lefties with his performance at the Urban Youth Academy Showcase in February. His fastball velocity was up, his curve ball was tighter and he showed some good action with his changeup. His stuff was even more effective with the improved command that was on display. The southpaw is tall, strong and athletic. His stock went way up at the UYA Showcase and will continue to climb if he keeps throwing like he did in Compton.

#69 - 2nd round - Kellen Sweeney SS (HS)

Medical Update: He had Tommy John surgery last summer -- thus the below-average arm right now -- but it should be just fine.

Strengths: Good hitting skills from the left side of the plate. Strong baseball instincts. MLB bloodlines.

Weaknesses: Not much power, unclear if he'll be able to stay at shortstop, where his value would be at its highest.

Summary: The brother of A's outfielder Ryan, the younger Sweeney has been on radar screens for a while now. He has very good hitting skills from the left side of the plate, though he doesn't have much power. He runs well, enough and his instincts allow that part of his game to play up. If he can stay at shortstop -- and he does show some ability -- he has that much more value, even at second -- keeping him up the middle -- could be a key. He reportedly had a good workout with the Blue Jays recently, and things like that could shoot him up the charts in a hurry.

 #80 - 2nd round - Justin Nicolino - LHP (HS)

From BA:

If teams considered him signable, lefthander Nicolino could factor into the first three rounds for some scouts. While it's hard to call Florida prep pitchers projectable because they throw year-round, Nicolino is just growing into his 6-foot-3 frame, having put on 15 pounds since last summer to get up to 175 pounds. Nicolino pitches off his fastball in the 88-91 mph range and has shown a curveball with average potential. His changeup is the better pitch now, and it's easy to see him as a three-pitch lefty with plus velocity down the line. It's also considered hard to buy Nicolino out of a Virginia commitment when scouts have to project on the velocity. A strong showing at the state all-star games in Sebring, though, could prod a team to pop Nicolino.

#93 - 3rd round - Christopher Hawkins SS (HS)

From BA:

Hawkins is a high school shortstop who is projected to play third base if he winds up at Tennessee. Most scouts don't necessarily see him staying in the dirt as a pro, but they do see tools that stand out even among Georgia's deep, talented class of high school athletes. Most project him as a center fielder thanks to his above-average speed. That has some scouts dreaming of Hawkins, a lefthanded hitter, as a poor man's Colby Rasmus, but he isn't as easy or fluid as Rasmus was at the same stage. Hawkns also has arm strength, and if his 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame proves too big for him to stay in center, he is athletic enough to handle a corner.

 #113 - 3rd round - Marcus Knecht LF (JC)

From BA:

After getting drafted in the 23rd round by the Brewers and playing for Canada at the World Junior Championship in 2008, Knecht went to Oklahoma State and got just 12 at-bats as a freshman last spring. Unhappy with his playing time, he transferred to Connors State, where he has electrified scouts. Knecht's 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame generates plenty of bat speed and raw righthanded power. He ranked among the national juco leaders in hitting (.453) and homers (21), though he struggled at times to make consistent contact against good velocity. Knecht is more than just a slugger. He ran a 6.55-second 60-yard dash during Connors State's scout day in the fall, and he earns solid 55 grades on the 20-80 scouting scale for his speed and his accurate arm. He lacks the instincts for center field and played left for the Cowboys this spring, and it's possible he could play right field as a pro.

#126 - 4th round - Sam Dyson RHP (College)

BA: Dyson has dialed his velocity down into the 92-93 mph range rather than the upper 90s and sitting 93-95. He can still flash that kind of velocity but has sacrificed it for better command and life. He's driving the ball down in the strike zone more and had cut his home runs allowed from 18 in 102 innings to three in 83 innings. Dyson is at his best when he is throwing his curveball for strikes and not just using it as a chase pitch. He also throws a slider in the mid-80s that doesn't have great depth, but he locates it better than the curve. His changeup has made progress as well.

 #156 - 5th round - Dickie Thon SS (HS)

BA: Thon is a great athlete who also competes in basketball, volleyball and track and field. Thon isn't a flashy defender, but makes all the routine plays. He has good feet, soft hands and an above-average arm. His bat is a little inconsistent right now, but he profiles as a good top-of-the-order hitter. He has gap power and could grow into some home run power as he continues to fill out and drives more balls. Thon is an average runner out of the box, but is above-average under way. He has good baseball instincts and projects to steal 20-30 bases a year. Signability is the biggest question with Thon because his father apparently wants him to attend Rice.

# 186 - 6th round - Sean Nolin LHP (JC)

BA: At 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, Sean Nolin looks like a lefthanded version of Jason Jennings. Nolin's fastball will sit at 86-89 mph in some games and 88-92 in others, and he backs it up with a solid changeup and fringy curveball

#216 - 7th round - Mitchell Taylor LHP (HS)

#246 - 8th round - Logan Ehlers LHP (HS)

#276 - 9th round - Brandon Mims SS (HS)

#306 - 10th round - Tyler Shreve RHP (HS)

#336 - 11th round - Shayne Opitz SS (HS)

#366 - 12th round - Omar Cotto CF (HS)

#396 - 13th round - Tyler Painton LHP (HS)

#426 - 14th round - Dayton Marze RHP (SO)

#456 - 15th round - Zak Adams LHP (HS)

#486 - 16th round - Dalton Pompey CF (HS)

#516 - 17th round - Myles Jaye RHP (HS)

#546 - 18th round - Kris Bryant 3B (HS)

#576 - 19th round - Travis Garrett RHP (J2)
