Jonathan Paul Arencibia (J.P. Arencibia) is a Catcher/First baseman [ [http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/events/draft_report/y2007/index.jsp?mc=arencibia Draft Report for J. P. Arencibia] ] who was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball 21st overall in the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft. Attended the University of Tennessee up until his draft day selection by Toronto in 2007. [ [http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/draft/y2007/drafttracker.jsp MLB.com 2007 Draft Tracker] ] Prior to the 2007 draft questions arose whether Arencibia would stick as a Catcher and whether a move to 1B would be in order for him. After the draft the Blue Jays decided to keep him at the catchers position and work with him on his defense.

Minor Leagues

Arencibia began his professional career in 2007. After being drafted 21st in the 2007 draft and signing with the Blue Jays he was assigned to the Auburn Doubledays of the New York - Penn League, Toronto's Low A ball affiliate. Arencibia struggled during the early part of the season but hit well during the stretch and into the playoffs helping the Doubledays win the NY-Penn League championship. He began the 2008 season with the Dunedin Blue Jays of the Florida State League. By the FSL all star break he led the league or was near the top in many offensive categories finishing the first half of the season batting .315 with 13 homers, 22 doubles and 62 RBI. He was named as the starting catcher for the Eastern Eastern Division in the FSL All Star Game. After the game the Blue Jays promoted him to their AA team, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats of the Eastern League
