I think that the upcoming first-round pick can't help but be a high-ceiling prospect -- it's near-impossible to pick 6th and not get someone who can be a star. That's not to say it'll be someone who will be a star, of course -- as our previous articles have shown, the list of #6 overall picks is littered with never-weres and coulda-beens. But the Jays should have their choice of players with impact potential, and the signing bonus ought not to be a major factor.

What would be ideal, of course, would be to draft an impact college prospect -- someone who can be a star and who could arrive in the majors within a couple of years at the most. Someone like Alex Gordon (who may not be available, or who may not even be all that by the time the draft rolls around) would be a good example. The Jays can use the subsequent rounds to continue adding to their organizational depth and maybe pick up some promising high-school hitters later on.
