Pipeline did a full reset on their top 30 team listings, here's Jays...

It should be noted that they have both SWR and Kay as 50 grade prospects. Just saying. Granted, they're far more lenient with throwing 50s than many other prospect publications.

 

Aggressive ranking of Manoah.

I know some people will not like this but the jays should sign this guy.

Luiz Gohara still only 23 years old but maybe the jays could help him out

with his problems and he could become a very good starter for the jays.

Todd, why would some people not like that?

Yeah, everyone would like that. Minor league deals have zero risk.

Gohara is fat with behavioural issues.

 

I'm not sure what behavioural issues he's had. I don't recall reading about any. As for his weight, not to worry. Vladdy will eat all the ice cream and other goodies. Or maybe Gohara will and Vladdy will lose weight. Either way, we win.

Have been a few incidents, nothing major. I'm just having some fun.

He also passed through waivers completely unclaimed. Very weird. He's either got some borderline career-ending shoulder injury or maybe some very sketchy makeup concerns.

I'd probably lean on the former. His shoulder must be f***ed.

No, they took him off waivers, and outrighted him. He ran into several disciplinary s*** too, some teams want to show a precedent.

Seems extremely unlikely the Jays would bring anyone in if they’re skeptical about their character right now. Part of the reason they cleaned house was to turn over the culture to the young guns.

SWR so far tonight: 3 IP, 4K, 0H... I can dig it.

 

And now 4 BB in the 4th. Wonder if he's being squeezed?

SWR final line in his Dunedin debut: 3.2IP 1H 3ER 4BB 5K

 

He was cruising through 3 perfect innings before he gave up 4 walks and then a double.

If he costs more than league min I'd be flabbergasted.

 

Yeah, I was playing on the fact that Atkins has been talking about all the money we have to spend. It was neither an obvious, nor funny, joke by me.

Otis jinxed him. He'll be fine.

Give him a minor league deal and go from there. Jays need pitching. Lots of pitching.

Still just 23.

This guy could be a horse for this team in pitching. Maybe even a all star.

Was he actually? I never seen antyhing about him? This is what BA had about him and that is definitely an arm I would want to try to rebuild.

 

Ranked Atlanta Braves #10 prospect after the 2018 season

Track Record: Few players had a rougher 2018 than Gohara. Acquired from the Mariners for Shae Simmons and Mallex Smith, Gohara climbed from high Class A to make five major league starts in 2017. His father died in his arms during the offseason, and he left with team permission during the season to be with his mother as she had heart surgery. He missed most of spring training with an ankle injury and finished the season on the disabled list with a shoulder injury.

 

Scouting Report: Gohara's conditioning was a problem in 2018. It affected his arm speed, and his fastball dipped from 95-99 mph to 91-95. His slider also backed up. It's impossible to know if his previously top-of-the-scale fastball and plus-plus slider will return, but even if he finds a midpoint between 2017 and 2018, he would have a pair of plus pitches. He needs to improve his below-average changeup if he's going to work as a starte.

 

The Future: The Braves said that Gohara lost 35 pounds while working out in Orlando after the season. When everything is working properly, He has one of the best arms in baseball. He rarely showed his best stuff in 2018, but between the injuries and off-field tragedy, there is reason to hope he can return to form in 2019. With so many pitching prospects in the upper minors, 2019 may be Gohara's last chance to show the Braves what he can do.
