So many excellent prospects taken after as well: Kieboom (28), Hudson (34), Trammell (35), Jones (55), Alonso (64). Oh well, if Zeuch makes it as a no. 5 starter it is still a success.
Great article as well! Looking forward to your AA one!
If the Jays were looking to trade Pillar, would this be the type of return they'd get? I know Pillar has been historically better and projects better, but this is probably the closest comp for him.
Shoemaker probably has a more productive season than Sanchez next year. I like the singing, having an additional year of control without any commitment is just gravy as well.

"The Padres also have spoken with the Blue Jays about trading for Marcus Stroman, but it appears there's more momentum in San Diego's talks involving Kluber."
Morosi throwing s*** at the wall. Even though I knew it was a lie with Stroman, I WANTED TO BELIEVE. :'(
What are your (and I welcome others to chime in *cough* TheHurl *cough*) thoughts on Kameron Misner? Reports and numbers look good. Seems like a bigger OF version of Holland.
JFC. At this prices I can see why teams are calling in for Stroman / Sanchez. I am happy for Happ. Not happy its with the Yankees but happy how this has turned out for him. I have a soft spot for players* that come back to the Jays after being traded.
*they must be good. If Goins ever comes back, f***..
I mean, I wouldn't expect the Jays to try for any less with Stroman or Sanchez. I am not saying the Jays would get Trammell for Stroman or Sanchez, but you start high and go from there.
Woah Spanky. Down boy. His last contract was 2.4M in arb. He should be had for around 2 years $4M. Maybe if the team wants some extra control 2 year, 4M with a team option for a 3rd year with a 1M buy out. But 10 Mil over 2 years?
We'll see how this shakes out. I'll be shocked if he averages over 3M per.
Posey was in that draft class, but outside of him doesn't look like much for catchers. Jason Castro is the only other one of note as Lawrie transitioned into 3rd and I have no idea who Kyle Skipworth is.
Its the offseason boys! You know what that means? Talk about the draft! Who will be JF19 "Swaggerty" this year?
MLB has their top 50 out: http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2019/?list=draft
And yes, everything will change once the date of the draft hits. I don't think Groshans was even in the top 30 last year at this point and Mize was not the top ranked prospect either.
With that being said I believe the Jays will pick Jack Leiter, a RHP out of high school. Why? His father is Al Leiter lol.
Just the usual off season Jay's click bait news by Heyman. When was the last time he was right about Jay's news? I still remeber Donaldson calling him out.
My vote is for Rocco Baldelli. Mainly because his twitter profile is mostly pictures of dogs: https://twitter.com/roccodbaldelli?lang=en I f***ing love dogs! Better than a beating a Canadian maple to Stubby just because he's Canadian.
