Thought this was a bit interesting to look at. The Blue Jays that were ranked were :
16. Vlad
49. Bo
51. Manoah
63. Springer
82. Chapman
85. Gausman
93. Varsho
Some thoughts:
- I feel like Vlad at 16 is a bit generous, but definitely could happen if he returns to 2021 form.
- Manoah at 51 seemed strange, seeing as their "prediction" is that he wins AL Cy Young.
- Gausman also seemed very low, I think there is a better chance Gausman wins Cy Young than Manoah.
- Where is Kirk, he was literally an all-star last year and he's not a top 100 player??
- On a non-Blue Jays note, there is no way Freeman is gonna be a top 5 player this year.
