Between Ray, Stripling, Matz, Roark if just two of them can give reliable mid-rotation innings, the Jays should be competitive enough until Pearson returns.
Acquiring a stud SP at the deadline would also be ideal.
Nice to have speed in the lineup.
We went from Springer on first with Bo at the plate to Teoscar at the plate with man on 2nd and 3rd.
Edit: Now bases juiced as Teo walks
A few factors play into the BA’s evaluation on the Blue Jay’s current farm system:
- Austin Martin falling to their lap at #5
- Nate Pearson is still qualified as a prospect
- BA staff are very high on Groshans though some other lists have him lower
- Alejandro Kirk and Orelvis Martinez getting their Top 100 nods from BA evaluators
- Gabriel Moreno demolished at the ATS and instructs looking like a stud
- Alek Manoah still flashing premium stuff he showed in Vancouver
- Only positive stuff coming from Simeon WR reports
- Overall Blue Jays have 6 top 100 prospects on the current BA 100 list, and three guys trending up in Manoah, Moreno, and Kloffenstein
