Good luck with that. My fiancee calls fantasy baseball, "fake baseball" and gets upset when I "waste time" with it. Good thing I only have 9 teams this year.

 

Did you get Matsui?

[G-Snarls]

[G-Snarls]

Vlad Jr and Bo both starting the year in AA as expected

[glory]

Biggio is going to be the third wheel with Vlad and Bo in every stop, isn't he? Not sure how much of a prospect he actually is, but it would be cool if he turns into something.

[Terminator]

^Some decent depth in the upper minors for once.

[SpeedyGose]

 

I don't see Alford on any DL list there, assuming he's starting in AAA?

Lucky f***er keeps getting hurt while he's on the big league roster. He's getting big league paychecks and accruing service time. Dalton Pompey is on the big league DL too. Pretty sure that is what's happening.

That's worth a lot considering players make nothing in the minors.

Alford and Pompey would still be getting a decent salary since they are on the 40 man roster.

What happened to Angel Perdomo?

[CBlake]

So who will be checking out the prospects on the farm? Looking forward to both New Hampshire and Buffalo in June. The Fisher Cats at Binghamton and Bisons vs Charlotte.

I'll be reporting from Dunedin until the 7th of May.

both mcguire and jansen at buffalo........ cant imagine it good for development to be sharing C duties. or the plan is to promote the better performing of the two in June

[CBlake]

Will be interested to see how quick a promotion comes for Vladi if he has a hot start to the season, first month or so? Will be interesting to see how they plan to proceee with this kid.

mainly determined by service time clock considerations at this point

 

not much difference in the quality of pitching in AA and AAA, and he hasn't really faced same pitchers more than one game.... would be good for him to see same pitchers multiple times over a season

3 Times a week is fine for catchers. Honestly catching 5 times/week is such a grind that they'll wear down faster. You can do a lot of development outside the actual games.

That's fair. Nice problem to have, in any event.

Can I can't wait for MiLB to start. Love checking the box scores daily for Jays and fantasy prospects.

I loved when King did all the checking for me and summarized it in a daily post. Those were the days...

The service time clock is the main reason why I’m not sure we’ll see either Vladdy or Bo until 2019, other than as September call ups.

 

Those guys would have to destroy the competition in AA and the Jays would have to have a reasonable shot at the playoffs to force Shapiro. Instant influx of offence.

 

I hope the Jays are looking to sign both to long term deals. Take a risk like the Rays did with Longoria way back when.

Hey guys just FYI, prospect maven Kiley McDaniel thinks Bo Bichette is a future 50 hitter (~.255 avg).

 

Byron

12:46 How does Bo Bichette have a present hit tool grade of 30? That must be an error, right?

Kiley McDaniel

12:48 Nope, it's a future 50 and if it was a current 50, he'd be in the big leagues. He's played one season in A-Ball (with unsustainable BABIPs, so don't scout the stat line) so 30 is about as high as you can go. If he goes bonkers this year, it might be a 45 or 50 at the end of the year, but I'd expect it to be more like 40, then around 50 in late 2019 or 2020

[Dr. Dinger]

Kiley is kind of a **** TBH.

 

Mark

12:23 Any truth to the rumor that if other teams knew what the Blue Jays did about Nate Pearson, he would have been in the conversation for 1.1?

Kiley McDaniel

12:24 It's not a rumor, the Jays GM said it. And how would anyone know if there's truth to it? What did the Blue Jays know? Based on our top 100, we would've had him in the top 10 picks if they draft was this winter so maybe?

I have no idea what Bichette's present hit tool is, but this is just bad/lazy analysis.
