Hoffman is blind!!

 

Hoffman's inverted W looks painful. Don't want him getting a 2nd TJS.

Hoffman with goggles? Too bad, I was hoping he could stick as a starter, should become a solid reliever though.

 

Doesn't have the tats, he's caught in no-man's land right now.

Great!

I really like Rodriguez (Carlos Guillen guy) and Lizardo.

 

Morgan isn't any good.

Top 20 Rookies: Position Prospects Pace Class Of 2015

 

http://www.baseballamerica.com/majors/top-20-rookies-position-prospects-pace-class-2015/

 

7. Daniel Norris, lhp, Blue Jays (22)

 

Credentials: Norris’ upside potential is evident from his performance in 2014, when he climbed from high Class A Dunedin to Triple-A Buffalo to a receive a cup of coffee with Toronto in September. He throws three pitches that could develop into plus weapons and is coming off a season in which he led the minors with 11.8 strikeouts per nine innings, plus he walked a career-low 3.1 batters per nine in the minors as he continues to hone his control.

 

2015 Outlook: A season-ending injury to 2014 rookie standout Marcus Stroman clears the deck for Norris to make the Opening Day rotation behind R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, Drew Hutchison and Marco Estrada. Non-roster graybeards Johan Santana and Jeff Francis could be available if Norris has a rough spring and requires more Triple-A time. At worst, he ought to be in the Toronto rotation by the end of May.

 

14. Aaron Sanchez, rhp, Blue Jays (22)

 

Credentials: Undeniable arm strength coupled with well below-average control (career 4.8 walks per nine innings) prompted the Blue Jays to move Sanchez to the bullpen at Triple-A Buffalo last July. He immediately took flight and advanced to Toronto after just two relief appearances. In the big leagues, Sanchez ranked fourth among relievers (min. 30 innings) in fastball velocity (96.9 mph) and groundball rate (65.9 percent), though his strikeout rate (7.4 per nine innings) ranked just 139th in that group.

 

2015 Outlook: Five Blue Jays pitchers collected more than one save in 2014, including Sanchez with three, though team leader Casey Janssen departed as a free agent and presumed successor Brett Cecil entered camp with a wonky shoulder. Therefore, the door is open just wide enough for Sanchez to step through and assume the job of closer, though he may wind up earning a spot in the rotation if he throws enough strikes this spring.

 

15. Dalton Pompey, cf, Blue Jays (22)

 

Credentials: Pompey has tools that will play in the major leagues and a clearly defined role for the 2015 Blue Jays as starting center fielder. A plus runner with a strong batting eye, he is regarded by some scouts as the finest defensive center fielder among prospect-eligible players heading into the season. Pompey climbed from high Class A Dunedin, where he spent most of the year, to Triple-A Buffalo in 2014, batting a cumulative .317/.392/.469 with 43 stolen bases in 113 games.

 

2015 Outlook: Toronto gave Pompey a trial run as a September callup last year, and his speed and plate discipline made the jump. Expecting a high batting average or much power production in 2015 seems like a stretch, but given his contributions to other facets of the game, the switch-hitter should make a fine complementary piece for a Blue Jays lineup overstuffed with righthanded sluggers.

Apparently, Matt Boyd (LHP) is sitting 92-94 MPH with his fastball this spring. Last season he dominated sitting 89-91.

 

Could be something..

Is there ANY reasonable chance that Gose becomes a better overall player than Pompey?? I can't see it personally.

Not bloody likely f***ing Rat Boy is one brick short of Dumb! Lol

 

Yes. It's more the hit tool and the baseball IQ. Gose is faster but Pompey already seems like a better base runner and his hitting looks far superior. Gose has a bit more range in the OF (his range is absolutely ridiculous) but I can't see him ever hitting half as well as Pompey based on all their minor league data.

As a person of Eastern European descent, I'm insulted that he refers to f***ing scrambled eggs with veggies as a goulash. Release his ass now. ;)

 

 

I know some people who call macaroni with ground beef goulash. Egregious but still not as bad as calling scrambled eggs goulash.
