Florida pitcher Shafer drafted by Blue Jays in Round 8

Justin Shafer spent his first three seasons at the University of Florida as both a pitcher and an infielder, but if he signs with Toronto, it will mean a full-time transition to the mound. Shafer, the Blue Jays' eighth-round pick in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft on Friday, is coming off somewhat of a disappointing season with the Gators, which saw him post a 4.17 ERA over 36 2/3 innings.
