but think B- is more likely for his grade

I’m pretty high on him though so maybe I’m overrating him.

did play well but he’s got problems with k-zone judement.. I think his k:bb ratio this past year was 3.5:1 but ya he’s probably Toronto’s top power hitting prospect.

I agree, Tim Collins better be a C+ John!

I think Sierra is more likely to reach his upside b/c his major problem (power) is more likely to be fixable than is Jackson’s K-rate. However, I don’t think Sierra’s ceiling is as high b/c Jackson is as good a defender and at a premium defensive position and Jackson walks more. So Sierra, to have a higher ceiling, would have to have significantly more power than Jackson to be as valuable as him if they both worked out, so I just don’t see it. All in all I think Sierra is the better prospect right now b/c he’s put more together on the field, but ceiling wise Jackson gets the nod.

I would argue that that’s not such a big deal when 4 of our top 10 from last season, including 1-2, graduated to the majors (Snider, Cecil, Romero, Rzepczynski).

is that Stewart will be higher than Travis D. I think the debate is btw Stewart and Wallace for 2 … not sure which way I lean. Probably Wallace.

Yeah, there really isn’t any impact bats after Wallace.

The next best at this point, by quite a margin, I would suggest is Eric Thames, but he cannot seem to stay healthy. After him, David Cooper and Brad Emaus. Emaus looks like he had some bad luck and Cooper was put in a tough spot starting his first full pro year in AA, but everything I’ve heard about them is both will REALLY have to hit to add value b/c they have serious defensive issues.

+1 maybe not top 20, but definitely at least HM

B+

Big fan of Bell – I understand (Callis, from BA) that his big pitch is a change, limiting his potential upside. But that level of control has been ridiculous. He also seems to have ported his skills over to starting nicely. I am also interested in seeing how Huggins develops – seems similar, if not quite so obscenely-so, numbers-wise.
Curious if Brisker and/or Wilson can turn it around and very pleased by the development of Tyler Pastornicky.
Looking at the long list above, I have to think that Beck, McDade and Van Kirk are just bodies at this point.
From the DSL, Simon Vasquez has intrigued me as well as pitchers Milciades Santana, Jose Vargas and Fernando Bello.
Finally, I am curious about the Jays’ overslot signings from last year: Marisnick, Hobson, Drew Hutchinson and Daniel Webb (especially Webb). What kind of upside are we looking at here?
