Only 1 player (Lawrie) on the Major League Roster. Not a surprise we're toward the bottom after the Marlins/Mets trades. Interesting that there are 4 guys (Tirado, Norris, Barreto, and DJ Davis) who are 20 or younger on this list...so shows that we have room for growth here, if those guys continue on the right trajectory. I think Hutchison would be on this list as well without the Tommy John surgery last year. Takeaway...Its not as bad as it looks?

I think Tirado and Norris are the only guys who have even a slight chance to be relevant. DJ Davis will be like a shittier version of Gose and Franklin Barreto doesn't really have an enticing skillset. Norris' numbers are skewed by the terrible batted ball luck he's dealt with every year and so the Jays probably already consider him to be a failure.

Given the organization's inability to develop toolsy players like Gose, at least up to this point, I would tend to agree with you on Davis. Those are the players you have to draft, because with their skillsets, they have a chance to be special, but I really cant think of the last 'toolsy' guy they Jays have developed, without going back to Shannon Stewart.

You're an idiot

Wanna elaborate, JPAGoins fanboy?

He also happens to be right. Outside of the major league guys (Lawrie and Stroman) they'll be lucky if two of the next 8 are ever relevant major league players.

 

This is Boxy...we don't give him public credit for anything. Try wording it with a backhanded compliment

Surprised by the omission of Devon Travis from the Detroit list. Thought the Yankees could be a slot or two higher just based on Tanaka, Sanchez and Pineda, but the drop-off is significant after that and there isn't even much for upside.

In reality, it was just "Queen Bee" BTS protecting a drone from criticism about the hive-agenda.

 

Queen BTS. That just sounds so right.

Man, I don't care if "all" the Angels have is Mike Trout. He's worth more than the combined value of many entire lists. The Angels have to be top 10 even if everyone else is garbabe.
