I think Hill was the projected SS of the two too.
Ant has inferred that he wanted the best player available that draft (presumably Troy) and - in general - drafting based on need is an organizational flaw.

Thought, AA has already declined Hills Options....
As for the draft...
I agree JP was most likely picking an area of need... which is a huge mistake. As for the Seleciton of Ricky Romero vs. Troy.. It has turned out okay for the Jays....
AA was on the Sportsnet broadcast this week and he said his strategy is to take the best player available in terms of the June draft. To take an area of need on a player years (4-5) away is a mistake.
