  5. Blake Swihart Jorge Alfaro Kyle Schwarber Austin Hedges Justin O'Conner Kevin Plawecki Reese McGuire J.T. Realmuto Christian Bethancourt Max Pentecost Max Pentecost Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 45 | Run: 50 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 55 Pentecost was named MVP of the Cape Cod League in 2013 and then led Kennesaw State to Super Regionals in the NCAA Tournament this spring. All that helped make him the first college catcher drafted when the Blue Jays selected him 11th overall. Pentecost, a rare catcher who could have average or better tools across the board, has a chance to hit for solid average and power. He has a quick right-handed bat, and while his hitting skills were more evident than his pop as an amateur, he did hit six homers on the Cape with wood bats. His receiving skills still need work, though Pentecost should be able to remain behind the plate. He has the requisite arm strength for a catcher, though he can improve his accuracy. He runs better than most backstops and has average speed overall.
  6. I like him
  7. Norris and Travis

  11. Daniel Norris: ETA: 2015 Position: LHP Age: 21 DOB: 04/25/1993 Bats: L Throws: L Height: 6' 2" Weight: 180 Drafted: 2011, 2nd (74) - TOR Twitter: @DanielNorris18 Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Slider: 60 | Curveball: 50 | Changeup: 60 | Control: 50 | Overall: 60 The transition to the professional ranks was rough at times for Norris, but he turned a corner in 2013 and was one of the Minor Leagues' biggest breakout stars a year later, vaulting from Class A Advanced Dunedin to Toronto in the span of five months. Along the way, he struck out 163 batters, the fifth most in the Minors, and pitched in the All-Star Futures Game. Norris' early struggles in the Minor Leagues were largely a result of poor command. After several adjustments to his delivery, he has found something that works and allows his deep, dynamic repertoire to shine. His fastball sits in the low to mid 90s with late life. His slider is his best secondary offering, and he also mixes in a changeup and slow, sweeping curveball. In the wake of his rapid ascent to the big leagues, Norris has the look of the top-of-the-rotation starter the Blue Jays envisioned he could become when they drafted him.
  12. 1. Julio Urias, Dodgers Just 18-years-old, Urias has proven to be well beyond his years. He flourished for Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga last season, despite the fact he was by far the youngest player in the California League. He carved up the older hitters with his low- to mid-90s fastball, curveball and changeup, striking out 109 batters in 87 2/3 innings. Though the Dodgers have aggressively challenged him, they have also been cautious with his workload, trends that are likely to continue this season. 2. Carlos Rodon, White Sox Entering last spring, Rodon was the favorite to be the top overall pick in the Draft. But he wasn't quite as dominant as expected during his junior season at North Carolina State, and ultimately went third overall. He should quickly reach Chicago and has the stuff, size and makeup to become a top-of-the-rotation pitcher once he does. 3. Daniel Norris, Blue Jays After an up-and-down start to his professional career, Norris turned a corner in 2013 and broke out in 2014. He began the year with Class A Advanced Dunedin and ended it in the Major Leagues. Norris has ironed out the command issues that initially hampered his progress and is now able to dominate hitters with his dynamic four-pitch arsenal. 4. Henry Owens, Red Sox As a followup to his breakout 2013 season, Owens delivered a sterling 2014 campaign. He led the Minor Leagues in wins (17), ranked fourth in strikeouts (170) and started the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game for the U.S. team. Owens has a good feel for pitching and keeps hitters off balance with a mix of his low-90s fastball, changeup and curveball. 5. Andrew Heaney, Angels Little more than two years after the Marlins drafted him ninth overall in the 2012 Draft, Heaney made his Major League debut. He appeared in seven games for the Marlins in 2014 before he was dealt, first to the Dodgers and then the Angels, in a wild day at the Winter Meetings. Heaney commands his whole arsenal well and is the most polished of any pitcher on the list. 6. Sean Manaea, Royals Fully recovered from the hip injury that bothered him during his junior season at Indiana State and caused him to slide in the 2013 Draft, Manaea pitched well in 2014 for Class A Advanced Wilmington. Though the Royals were cautious with his workload during his professional debut, he led the Carolina League with 146 strikeouts in 121 2/3 innings. Manaea has three average-or-better pitches, but he will need to refine his control after averaging four walks per nine innings in 2014. 7. Kyle Freeland, Rockies As a senior in high school, Freeland set the Colorado record with 145 strikeouts. Three years later, after an All-American season at Evansville, the Rockies drafted the Denver native eighth overall. Freeland has a deceptive delivery and generates plenty of groundballs with his heavy, low-90s fastball. 8. Steven Matz, Mets A second-round pick in 2009, Matz's professional debut was delayed until 2012 by a long recovery from Tommy John surgery. The Long Island native has quickly made up for lost time and reached Double-A Binghamton in 2014. His loose, easy delivery allows him to throw his fastball in the mid-90s and he mixes in a quality changeup and curveball. 9. Sean Newcomb, Angels Undrafted coming out of high school, Newcomb improved significantly while in college. He set Hartford's career record with 243 strikeouts and became the school's highest ever drafted player when the Angels took him 15th overall in 2014. Listed at 6-foot-5, 240 pounds, he is an imposing presence on the mound and his fastball can reach 98 mph. 10. Brandon Finnegan, Royals The Royals drafted Finnegan 17th overall in 2014 and thought he was advanced enough to help them almost immediately as a reliever. He did just that, joining their bullpen for the pennant race and then the playoffs. He ultimately became the first pitcher to appear in the College World Series and World Series in the same year after leading TCU to Omaha in June. Despite his initial success as a reliever, Finnegan has the tools to start and will likely return Next up The Cardinals selected Marco Gonzales and Rob Kaminsky 10 picks apart in the 2013 Draft and both promising left-handers nearly made this year's list. Gonzales was the first of the pair picked, going 19th overall. A two-way star at Gonzaga, he is now focused solely on pitching. He reached the Major Leagues in his first full professional season, appearing in 10 games for the Cardinals. He'll likely play a bigger role with the team this year. Kaminsky, meanwhile, was drafted out of high school and spent his first full professional season in the Midwest League. He was one of the youngest starters in the league, but more than held his own, posting a 1.88 ERA in 101 innings.
  13. We team looks good, and will improve in the next weeks. 2 bullpen arms, infield depth and.....................James Shields?
  14. "Johan Santana presents discomfort in the front of the left shoulder and appears to be ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs." lol
  15. The O's, the new Red Sox for me. Odio ese equipo de mierda. f*** you DD
  16. f***. AA, you should send Ryan Goins.
  17. Jeff Hoffman for Dan Duquette is so dumb and lack of sense for us. I like Duquette, but he was out of baseball for almost 9 years, and that should mean something
  18. Ronald Belisario: Belisario has received interest from the Nationals, Blue Jays, Red Sox and Rays
  19. Altuve 2B Lowrie SS Springer RF Carter DH Gattis LF Rasmus CF Singleton 1B Valbuena 3B Castro C
  20. Barry Bonds douchebag: 164 Wins Vs John McDonald Mr nice guy: 0.8 Wins
  21. 5 others: BTS, King, Spanky and 2 others
  22. Jon Morosi ‏ Source: #BlueJays and #Nats have been in contact with representatives for free agent reliever Burke Badenhop.
  23. Duquette will do things ALA Duquette way; baseball operations will be managed by him. Beeston know s*** about baseball, for that reason, AA is free to do what he think is right to build a roster IMO; will not be the same case with Duquette on Jays front office.
