 This isn't just true of JP, gsjays, it is true of all teams. They always put more value in their higher picks that they have paid large signing bonuses to. The exercise is to get them through the minors and into the bigs as fast as possible, so these "bonus babies" are given preference over other players that may have better numbers at the time. This is the reason that players like Dopirak, Ruiz, Jesse Carlson, and others spend years and years bouncing around in the minors wondering what they have to do to get a chance. I often thought the Jays would be well off to hire a scout just to comb through their own minor league affiliates looking for those lost souls that deserve a chance.
