The Prospect/Minor Leagues Thread

Alonzo Gonzalez promoted to Dunedin

 

Could mean someone is on the way up from extended (Smoral, Smith, Tinoco?)

Probably Smoral..looked pretty good Friday in extended.

Getting eyes on Hoffman & Hollon today #BlueJays

Hoffman working 94-97 T98. Pounding outside corner with late run. 2 K's both looking. Gave up one hit #BlueJays

Chris King ‏

Hollon has a 1-2-3 inning. Sat 91-93 T95. Also K'd 2 looking. Threw one slider with decent bite #BlueJays

[Angrioter]

Chris King ‏

Hoffman back out for a 2nd inning. Sitting 94-97. Broke out the sharp biting CB 77-79. Throwing strikes with both. 2 more K's #BlueJays

lol, his arm is f***ed. Consequence of drafting the injured pitchers strategy

As long as Hoffman returns to form (looks like it) he's an easy top 20 prospect in the game for me. #BlueJays

 

 

Me pene creció!!

[Jimcanuck]

54 total PA at Lansing, Alford has an .850 OPS

 

Looking like a candidate for the Dunedin OF come July

Hutch better figure it out soon or he may not be a starter next season.

Lol

[Daniel Labude]

Hutch has a 3.86 DRA. Nothing to be worried about.

 

More like others will pass him. Stroman, Norris (most likely), Osuna, Hoffman (we all know how I feel), Boyd, FA#1, and possibly a FA/Trade#2 have a good chance to pass him come next spring. Assuming we don't have Buehrle or Dickey that's 30 million in payroll space to make us better.

[Jimcanuck]

Here's how the rotation would shake down to start next year, having an optimistic view of the players you mention:

 

1. Stroman

2. FA/Trade Acquisition

3. Norris

4. Osuna/Boyd/Hoffman

5. Hutch

 

Depth: Sanchez, swingman acquisition

 

Hutch getting bumped just isn't likely.

 

Dickey will be there, whether we like it or not

[Angrioter]

Sanchez for Hamels is fair (excess value wise).

Sanchez + PTBNL (Pentecost) for Hamels + $15M would also be fair.

 

Nobody want Sanchez when Hoffman name sound so sexy.

Margot > Sanchez

[KingKat]

Great article from Capital Jays (hat tip to NJH for bringing this blog to my attention) discussing the possilbe implications of the Vlad Junior signing.

(Apologies if already posted but I didn't see it.)

Sanchez + PTBNL (Pentecost) for Hamels + $15M would also be fair.

 

I don't see how that's fair for Philly. Hamels is a lefty ace with a 'relatively' good contract (compared to what someone with his pedigree would get if he were a FA).

 

Sanchez would be considered 'top prospect' material, but if I were Amaro I'd ask for one more.

[burlingtonbandit]

It's fair in terms of projected surplus.

 

Philly will easily get more, its just how star for prospect trades work. Also don't think Jays will trade Sanchez because he's Stroman's best friend and that would likely piss him off. Sure its a business etc.. but there is no denying how much that would hurt Stroman and I don't think the Jays would piss off their number 1 pitcher like that.

I don't think the Jays will care much about the bromance between the two.

 

This is the same team that tore up the three headed monster of Synder/Sanchez/Nicolino

[OtisNixonFan]

Anyone else a little excited to see how Clint Hollon handles Bluefield? The kid has major swing and miss stuff.

If that is the case trade them both. This team doesn't need to handicap itself to make two players comfortable.

[KingKat]

Trade Stroman for what?

 

Hamels presumedly.

[baubau]

Trade Stroman for what?

 

It was just in response to the idea of not trading Sanchez to keep Stroman happy. You trade Sanchez for anything that makes the team better now and in the future and if Stroman has issues with it that effects his play, trade him as well. Doesn't have to be in the same trade or immediate but the notion of not trading someone to keep another player happy is bad management.

 

Not saying trade Stroman for x package specifically.

 

Hamels presumedly.

 

I'd agree with JFaS on making Sanchez the ideal starting piece in that deal. Don't think there are many deals that I'd consider giving up Stroman on yet.

I think its different when both are in the majors. Also Stroman is their best pitcher by far quite different than 3 guys in Low A.

Emilio Guerrero and Christian Lopes promoted to AA

Some quotes from everyone's favorite AGM

 

http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/farm-report-hoffman-tellez-progress-for-jays/

 

“He’s in extended (spring) right now, he topped at 97 the other day, so his arm strength is back,” says LaCava - On Cardona

 

"LF Dwight Smith (.321/.365/.474, 2 HRs, 10 RBIs) – “We’ve taken (the switch to second base) off his plate. We saw plenty of it in spring training, we may revisit it in the future, but right now he’s going to concentrate on left field. He’s a solid left-fielder, and it looks like he’s starting to heat up, swinging the bat well" RIP Pompey

 

RP Bo Schultz (1-1, 2.89 ERA, 5 saves, 0.75 WHIP) – “He’s been good. Power pitcher, he’s starting to become consistent with his slider, we’re encouraged with that.”
