King Old-Timey Member Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Tellez is underrated because of his position. .310/.404/.559 vs RHP this season. The chubby guy can hit
Grant77 Old-Timey Member Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 Yeah other than Vladdy, I don't see a superstar prospect in the system. Maybe some players who turn out to be good or solid, maybe even one that shocks and becomes a lot better than they project to be, but Vladdy is probably the best hitting prospect the Jays have had since Delgado (unless I'm forgetting someone). Vernon Wells? Alex Rios? Travis Snider? Franklin Barrett? I probably missed a lot, but those were at least top 50 guys. Note that Im not saying Vlad Jr. can't be better than them.

DesClafani, Sam Dyson and Yan Gomes non- prospects too

mikebel111 Verified Member Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 I still believe in Anthony Alford, he had a bad injury riddled season. He has what it takes to be a leadoff hitter and a good one. Since returning from a concussion in June, he was hitting close to the level he did last season. I wonder how he does in the AFL. Just needs a good off season of training and rest and he should be fine.

WONDERBAT Verified Member Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Vladdy Jr. a good runner? I just noticed he has 15 SB
Grant77 Old-Timey Member Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Vladdy Jr. a good runner? I just noticed he has 15 SB Perhaps a good runner like Encarnacion, but it's doubtful that he'll have above average speed in his 20's.

TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 Florida Auto Exchange Stadium announcement is set for September 26th. I expect that improvements are on their way for next Spring.
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 Florida Auto Exchange Stadium announcement is set for September 26th. I expect that improvements are on their way for next Spring. Shapiro said there was nothing new on that front to Lott. Whatever the changes are I expect there to be a pretty big improvement since the Jays are obviously very big on player development.
CBlake Verified Member Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 Here is a very interesting piece on the international free-agent market and how crazy of a crapshoot it really can be. It looks at all the deals AJ Pellar did during his time with the Rangers. https://gwynntelligence.com/2016/04/22/a-j-preller-and-his-dominican-duds/

Avoid the comments section at all costs, my brain is still recovering from the stupidity.

TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Good lord. Avoid the comments section at all costs, my brain is still recovering from the stupidity. Did they call the Jays a bottom 10 farm and you took exception to it?
Grant77 Old-Timey Member Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Did they call the Jays a bottom 10 farm and you took exception to it? Say what you want, but my preseason opinion was absolutely right in hindsight. They were actually referencing outdated reports and calling Davidi a Rogers shill.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Say what you want, but my preseason opinion was absolutely right in hindsight. They were actually referencing outdated reports and calling Davidi a Rogers shill. I don't remember you saying that they don't have an impact player in the system.
Grant77 Old-Timey Member Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 I don't remember you saying that they don't have an impact player in the system. What I was referring to was my statement that our organizational ranking was far too low.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 What I was referring to was my statement that our organizational ranking was far too low. Vlad will help rankings now as he might be the impact guy the system was lacking...but it's still a bottom 10 system.
Grant77 Old-Timey Member Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Vlad will help rankings now as he might be the impact guy the system was lacking...but it's still a bottom 10 system. I'm still not buying it. We've got 9, maybe 10 guys who would rank in the top 150 on any given list. There's just too much depth to rank that low. Edited September 16, 2016 by Grant77
Slade Old-Timey Member Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Vlad will help rankings now as he might be the impact guy the system was lacking...but it's still a bottom 10 system. Was this ever in question? I thought after last years trade deadline we had one of the worst systems out there. Bottom 10 seems very accurate and I would even believe bottom 5.

Bottom 10 seems very accurate and I would even believe bottom 5. Angels Orioles Marlins Tigers White Sox Please back up your point by telling me which of these systems is better than ours. Should make for some good discussion.
