Marcus Stroman, rhp Team: Triple-A Buffalo (International) Age: 22 Why He’s Here: 1-0, 0.00, 6 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 10 SO The Scoop: As detailed earlier this week, Stroman appears on the cusp of a callup to Toronto to replace the struggling Dustin McGowan. And why not? He’s done everything he can at Triple-A, including what could have been his parting shot, a six-inning, no-hit, 10-strikeout valedictory speech. Questions abound about his size and relative lack of innings so far, but the Jays curbed him at 80 pitches in his most recent outing. In The Team Photo Matt Boyd, lhp, Blue Jays. He’s already 23, so Boyd’s tear through the Florida State League while at high Class A Dunedin has to be tempered. But it’s tough to ignore 4-0, 0.29 and a 37/5 SO/BB ratio. He has an average fastball so skeptics abound, and his first outing Thursday at Double-A New Hampshire (4 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 4 SO) could be more indicative of his stuff. Dalton Pompey, cf, Blue Jays. The speedy, switch-hitting Ontario native went 10-for-24 (.417) with two doubles, two triples, six walks and three stolen bases this week at high Class A Dunedin. The Blue Jays have to be thrilled with his showing in April, which neatly encapsulates the 21-year-old table-setter’s skill set. Pompey ranks among the Florida State League leaders with 14 steals, 37 hits and a .444 on-base percentage.
