Wasn't there some s*** Tellez was dealing with last year with some woman? I wonder if ending that situation has helped him at the plate this year

 

His mom has cancer if I remember right.

She seems like the type of ex that would leak s*** to the media or public once he makes it to the MLB. She's already hinted at him doing some terrible act that ruined her life

95

Hans Crouse

Rangers RHP

Notes: Fastball: 70 | Slider: 60 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 50

Scouting Report: Crouse has the most upside of any pitcher in the Rangers organization. He has great arm speed on a power fastball that sits 93-96 mph and can reach 99, with Crouse cruising in that upper range in short stints. His slider has tight spin, sharp bite and two-plane depth, giving him a putaway pitch. Crouse didn't throw his firm changeup much in high school so it's still below-average, but it shows promise with its late fading action. Crouse's delivery certainly isn't free and easy, with long arm action, a short stride and a violent finish across his body. However, Crouse repeats his arm slot well and is able to locate his fastball to both sides of the plate, with his long arms and legs flying at the hitter helping to enhance his deception. Crouse has frontline starter potential, though he's at least a few years away from reaching the majors.

 

96

Brent Rooker

Twins OF

Notes: Hit: 50 | Power: 60 | Speed: 40 | Fielding: 45 | Arm: 45

Scouting Report: The 35th overall pick in 2017 after a record-setting senior year at Mississippi State, Rooker hit the ground running as expected, showing plus power and hitting 18 combined homers in just 62 games in the Appalachian and Florida State leagues in his pro debut. Having honed his power stroke and improved his contact rate in college, the powerfully built Rooker reminds some of former Twins left fielder Josh Willingham. Rooker still has some swing-and-miss in his game, especially on power breaking balls and soft stuff from lefties, but his walk rate should improve along with his pitch recognition. Primarily a first baseman in college, Rooker showed enough mobility and arm to be a tick below average in left. He is a smart baserunner despite below-average speed. After ranking second in Division I with an average exit velocity of 92 mph, Rooker matched that number in the FSL during his first pro summer. Already on the fast track due to his advanced bat, Rooker should remain in left as he climbs the ladder. He projects as a middle-of-the-order weapon with power as a strong carrying tool.

 

97

 

Dakota Hudson

Cardinals RHP

Notes:

Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 50 | Slider: 60 | Changeup: 45| Control: 50

Scouting Report: Hudson relies primarily on a sinking fastball that sits at 94-95 mph and touches 97 and a plus short slider in the upper 80s that can reach into the low-90s. He previously worked mostly in and out with them but has made strides in at pitching vertically more effectively and changing eye levels. Hudson's curveball got progressively stronger throughout the last two seasons and begun registering as an average to above-average offering at 79-83 mph. He also mixes in an occasional changeup. While Hudson's stuff is quality, his fastball command is below-average, and as a result he doesn't miss many bats. His control is also inconsistent, especially on his secondary offerings. Hudson has the stuff of a mid-rotation starter, but his limited fastball command may spell a future at the back end of a rotation or the bullpen, where his plus fastball-slider combination could be deadly.

 

98

Garrett Hampson

Rockies SS

Notes:

Hit: 55 | Power: 40 | Speed: 60 | Fielding: 55 | Arm: 50

Scouting Report: A top-of-the-lineup catalyst, Hampson is an undersized plus-plus runer who plays at full speed all the time. He keeps the ball on the ground or strokes it on a line to let his speed play, and he shows hints of power, although that will never be his game. His plate discipline is improving, allowing him to project as an above-average hitter with a lot of steals. Hampson gets too big in his swing sometimes, but generally self-corrects. Drafted as a shortstop, Hampson's arm is a bit short for the position, but his exemplary hands, quick-first step and top-notch reaction times fit at second base, where he shows flashes of being a plus defender. He also got some exposure to center field last year. Most evaluators see Hampson as a future super utility player, but a few see enough for him to start at second base.

 

99

Tony Santillan

Reds RHP

Notes:

Fastball: 70 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 45

Scouting Report: Santillan has long had a near-top-of-the-scale fastball, and he's refined his secondaries to become a more complete pitcher. His 88-91 mph changeup is a potentially above-average offering, and his 90-91 mph slider shows with good tilt and depth. He has struggled with the consistency with any of his pitches, and as a result they play down at times. Santillan's delivery has little deception, but he throws 96-98 mph with movement. He's not consistent with his delivery yet, which is why his velocity will vary dramatically, as he'll follow up a 92 mph fastball with a 100 mph one, and it's not always intentional. Santillan pitches from the stretch at all times, which simplifies what he has to work on. His delivery is very uptempo and energetic and he's a fast worker. Santillan's ability to start depends on developing even average control, and he's made strides in the right direction this season. His control and stuff will still vary widely, but at his best, he can dominate.

 

100

Adonis Medina

Phillies RHP

Notes:

Fastball: 60 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 60| Control: 55

Scouting Report: Medina operates off a fastball that parks at 92-95 mph and touches 97. His fastball is his best pitch, and he combines plus velocity with late life and the ability to throw his heater for strikes. Over the past year, Medina altered his delivery to get more extension out front at his release point, which helps his fastball jump on hitters quicker than they expect. After striking out just 13 percent of batters in 2016, Medina doubled his strikeout rate to 26 percent in 2017, and he's maintained a 10 strikeouts per nine innings mark in 2018. His changeup has become a potential a plus pitch and he's introduced a slider that's a solid-average offering. Medina is a good athlete who controls the running game well. The improvement of Medina's secondary stuff gives him an opportunity to develop into a mid-rotation starter, although he still leaves too many pitches over the plate at times and will need to improve his command.

Will try to figure out who dropped off (or graduated)

 

Jays Content

Vlad still 1

Bo still 5

Pearson 71 to 68

Jansen 73 to 71

Smith 91 to 84

 

Gurriel graduated or dropped off.

[Ray]

Brock Lundquist 2nd straight 4 hit game. He’s now slashing .383/.450/.553 in 26 games in High-A. Is he anything?

[Todd]

Brock Lundquist is a player to watch for. End of the year should be in the top 50.

If not early next year. Up and comer.

[Slade]

Drafted in the 6th round (189th overall) by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2017 (signed for $175,000)

 

The Athletics drafted Lundquist in the 36th round out of high school, but he instead went to Long Beach State and became a three-year starter for the Dirtbags. Lundquist is physically well-put together and has raw power in his 6-foot, 210-pound frame, but has struggled to get to it consistently in games. He served as Beach's leadoff hitter rather than hitting in the middle of the order for much of the season, highlighting that inability. Lundquist has a good bat path and good bat speed, but his pitch recognition is below-average and he can get out on his front side. He is an average runner with an average arm and projects as a fringe-average to average defender in left field, with just enough arm to handle right

Man who did Ryan Noda piss off in the Jays org? Spanberger moves up to Dunedin to join Clemens (who sucks) while Noda still in Lansing.

18 year old catcher Gabriel Moreno between the GCL and APPY league: .394/.440/.646

[Olerud363]

18 year old catcher Gabriel Moreno between the GCL and APPY league: .394/.440/.646

 

Cal Stevension (GCL/BlueField) 21 projected to 160 games

 

.520 obp, 160 walks, 40 doubles, 20 triples, 4 homers, 60 ks.

 

~ 4 walks for every k.

 

He is 21, old for the league... Would be interesting to send him to Vancouver....

 

Alexander Kirk (19 year old catcherish DH)

 

.328 .420 .580 or so. Power, walks, low strike outs.

 

Lansing will be interesting again next year, especially if Groshans, Kirk, Stevenson, Moreno, and others are all there.

[Todd]

So mister king have the jays signed any more international free agents besides the 27 they have all signed

Alright guys, now that we've all recovered from the Juan Soto hype train, I think it's time to hope aboard the Wander Franco bus. 17-year old shortstop prospects who walk more than they K and ISO 0.250 are pretty rare. I hear his trackman readouts are absolutely nuts too.

Yes, yes, the helium is strong on this one. Can't wait for him to join Soto and Seager in my BORED lineup

[tpurewal97]

Sean Reid-Foley had 8 strikeouts in his 5.0 innings of work tonight. Now a #Bisons team-high 94K in 82.1IP.

They've signed 28 I believe.

Thank you. Looks like you are right.

Do you think the jays will sign more.

Could be more. 90 per cent of this years dsl team

are 2017 signings.
