I am a season ticket holder for the NH Fisher Cats (AA Toronto) and I have/to disagree with the listing of Brad Eamus so high. He is 24 years old and struggled last ywar mightily. Instead you should have put OF Darrin Mastroianni. On top of over 70 steals last season he recorded numerous assists and made dozens of spectacular plays that you can’t see in his stats. He also distracted pitchers while on the basepath and was a clubhouse leader. Also keep your eyes on LHP Luis Perez to make a run as a solid 4 or 5 starter in the majors. He has the stamina to go 7 innings all he needs is some fine tuning. In the bullpen watch for Danny Farquar and Tristan Magnusun. A Dark Horse in a couple of years also could be the 5’5” reliever Tim Collins whose fastball pops at just over 90 and he only just turned 20. Although he isn’t near ready for a callup yet he has the work ethic and potential for greatness. Posted 11/12 at 09:41 AM

Also although he is 26 watch for first baseman Brian Dopirak to make a solid run in Toronto. He’s got a few good years in him. He tore up AA and AAA last year and deserved a Callup. There was just no room for him. Posted 11/12 at 09:47 AM

I’m hopeful that Duffy adds some MPH on his fastball in the future. It’s still distinctly possible that he will do that as he matures and fills out, given that he still only 20 years old (21 next month). Posted 11/12 at 10:42 AM

So is the consensus now that all three of John Tolisano, Justin Jackson, and Kevin Ahrens are pretty much done as big time prospects? Their draft class was almost universally praised following their selections. Posted 11/13 at 01:29 PM

Also, a little curious how you can describe a pitcher as a “top-of-the-rotation talent” if he lacks both a consistent fastball and an out pitch. Seems like a “top-of-the-rotation talent” without those things is another way of saying replacement-level middle relief. Posted 11/13 at 01:32 PM

What about Kila (with KC)? I liked what he did last year (even though his BA tailed off at the end). Where would he rank with KC? Posted 11/14 at 04:30 PM

I entirely agree that Emaus is too high on your list and can’t believe Brad Mills made it at all. May list would have been: 1. Zach Stewart (best P prospect ready for action, will be used as a starter in AAA, apparently) We all value things differently, so your list is fine. But if we’re talking the highest ceiling guys, I believe my list is a little more accurate. Posted 11/21 at 08:46 PM

The list in the post above this is good. I’m a Yankees fan so I don’t really follow any jays guys until they hit AA and I get to see them first hand so some of the names aren’t familiar with me but I agree a lot with the names I see and the ones left out. I think David Cooper will bust just like Chip Cannon. Eamus is a dud. Mastro, Tiny Tim Collins and The Lord Farquhar have high ceilings. Then again after seeing Ricky Romero suck in AA for almost 3 years I had given up on him. Posted 11/23 at 03:57 PM | ||||
Do you have any thoughts on TBJ catcher Carlos Perez? Was he close to making the list?
