Both were signed with LSU well prior to the draft. We didn't all of a sudden recruit Papierski because Latz got drafted by the Blue Jays.

The risk was that they would both sign with the Blue Jays, as Pap was drafted by them just a few rounds later.

That doesn't mean Latz wouldn't or couldn't sign with Toronto once he was drafted at the end of his senior year in high school. I know you know that so I don't understand what point you're trying to make.

By signing Papierski along with Latz prior to the draft, the hope was to get Latz not to go pro after he was drafted.

Which was their way of trying to get Latz to forego college and sign with them.
