We need a future CFer. Can Groshans, Martinez or Moreno play there?

I wouldn't count on any of those 3 being able to play CF, but I do think the Jays will have to consider trying some of their infield prospects in CF to see if the athleticism, range, etc, plays there. Guys like Otto Lopez, Jimenez, Taylor, Beltre, Pinto, etc. Of course some of these guys will not pan out or will get traded, but getting a CF prospect from within the farm system would be huge given the lack of available options and the difficulty to acquire them from outside the org.

Almost certainly not. You need to go down the depth chart quite a ways to find a viable CF. Chavez Young might be the first name where it's like, yeah he can play CF for sure.

 

Samad Taylor and Otto Lopez might be able to hang there, but who knows.

 

Zac Cook had big numbers in 2021 and played CF. There are a few other names like Cameron Eden and Dasan Brown, but they will never make it.

 

It's a pretty big gap on the farm.

That background colour was a bad choice.

I don't think Austin Martin would of ever been able to stick in CF. Not even sure he could stick at SS, his actions were best at 3B.

Hard to say whether the arm was going to play at the position though. If he ended up having to muscle up on every throw ala Cavan Biggio just to get it across the diamond that would be a tough fit for any amount of time.

A little tidbit from Longenhagen

 

Speaking of the Rockies, the little second baseman who they traded to Toronto as part of the Randal Grichuk deal, Adrian Pinto, has been added to the Blue Jays list. Scouts had a narrow window in which to scout him here in Arizona before the deal, but he made enough of an impression to prompt some unsolicited texts from scouts covering the Rockies who noted he was missing from their org list. Much more on him here, or over on The Board.

Where is or can Kumar Rocker pitch or will be pitching, anyone know?

Possibly in an Indy league whenever their season opens.

Hopefully he signs with the Winnipeg Goldeyes or the Fargo Redhawks

Or Mexico, maybe?

[Maahfaace]

Gross, Montoyo extended....

[The Cats Ass]

Maybe, their season starts sooner. I was just thinking he might get scouted better in Indy leagues in the states for the draft this year.

2nd hardest advance, after AAA to MLB

 

Will be an interesting follow

[Krylian]

 

Very aggressive. Exciting that they think he can handle it.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Have they said where they are starting Groshans out? AAA?

[Spanky__99]

Most likely Buffalo, they haven't assigned him yet.

[TwistedLogic]

Taylor getting the promotion to Triple-A. Hopefully he's able to force their hand for a cup of coffee in the majors at some point.

Wonder where a few of the players are. No Moreno in Buffalo?

Late start to spring training because of visa issues. Probably will get in games next week for sure
