The MLB Draft is tricky to read too much into, because the selections are so far away from making an impact at the MLB level. But the Toronto Blue Jays, if you want to read into it, may have provided a signal. In the first round on Sunday night, the Blue Jays picked shortstop Jojo Parker.

Sports' Steve Gardner explains why the Blue Jays and Cubs are two surprise teams ready to make noise in their respective leagues.

In the 12th round, the Toronto Blue Jays pick 352nd overall. Although the Blue Jays have never selected from the 352nd selection, they have had some success stories from the 12th round.
