Not sure how to interpret this. Pompey breathing down Gose's neck?

[HERPDERP]

Pompey will be on fan590 in 10 minutes.

 

I don't think Pompey/Gose should be in the same breath. I think Gose' chances of being a regular are over unless he fixes his swing very soon.

 

He is still a great 4th outfielder.

 

Pompey will be a regular.

Great to hear. Great story. A guy who was left to his own devices, fell in the draft because many thought he had nothing to show. Must've thought the walls around him were crumbling down and a dark cloud was hanging over him. Guess he closed his eyes and just worked. I don't think much changed but he was an optimist about it.

 

I should put the phone down and get back to working.

It's Friday, you deserve a break.

 

At work we get half-day on Fridays for the summer.

 

But in honestly we just dick around in office because no one will get work done anyway.

On the depth chart of the Jays, Gose is above Pompey, but things are changing rapidly. The healthy Pompey is moving quickly

Easy Gose was a full 2 years younger then Pompey when they started full season. Not even a close comparison

[Angrioter]

“Each year he comes in bigger, stronger, faster,” LaCava said. “He’s always had a good swing. But now, with the strength gains and the way he’s maturing as a player, he’s got a good ceiling. He’s a little under the radar now — not too many people are talking about him — but I think he has a nice future ahead of him.”

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Love the promotion though. Move some of these guys along quicker please.

You had me until those last 2 lines

[G-Snarls]

Hate to get over excited but...

 

September callup if he hits well at AA???

[43211234]

Nice. He's similar to the Handsome Jake of a few years ago. Should be a top 75ish prospect.

Nope Jays are even stingier with their hitting prospects.

Fair enough

 

OK, that's allright

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos was in Dunedin Monday watching his class-A affiliate.

 

“There’s one reason and one reason only he’s watching Dunedin,” said one evaluator. “Dalton Pompey. He might be the best player in the league. Look at the year he’s having with the bat and he’s probably the best outfielder in the league.

“It’s a good idea to bear down on your own guys — and they have had a ton of their own scouts in there. You made fewer mistake when you scout your own team.”

Mississauga’s Pompey, an Oakville Royals grad, is eighth in hitting at .312, leads the league in stolen bases with 27 and is fourth in OPS at .852.

As the clock ticks towards the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline a number of teams who may make pitching available have had sent their scouts to Dunedin to evaluate the Jays prospects.

Taylor Cole pitched Monday morning in a loss to Brevard County allowing four earned runs on eight hits and three walks. Ben White pitched Sunday afternoon — three runs on eight hits — in a loss to Brevard.

 

Drawing the attention of other teams besides Pompey others drawing interest from other scouts are outfielder Dwight Smith (.266 average, five homers, 28 RBIs in 69 games, .733 OPS), third baseman Gustavo Pierre (.251, four homers, 25 RBIs, .640 OPS) and 6-foot-5 shortstop Emilio Guerrero (.297, six homers, 29 RBIs in 59 games, .682 OPS). Matt Boyd is 5-1 with an 0.67 ERA after six starts at New Hampshire (0-2, 8.31) walking 11 and fanning 61 in 69 Dunedin innings. Cole is 5-4 with a 2.86 ERA, with 21 walks and 103 strikeouts in 88 innings. White is 3-4 with a 5.01 ERA with 17 walks and 38 whiffs in 70 innings.

Anthony Gose doesn't ring a bell? Brett Lawrie doesn't ring a bell?

[Atothe]

JPA when he was a highly touted prospect

[Angrioter]

lol What hitting prospects? I wasn't aware that we had any.

 

Randy Ruiz, Chip Cannon, JFord-Griffin, Snider?

[NorthOf49]

Curtis Thigpen!? That kid was supposed to be the next big thing.
