Toronto Blue Jays preliminary prospect grade breakdown

I am working on the Toronto Blue Jays Top 20 prospects for 2018 list. The first run through the grades gives the following results:

Grade A: Two (no surprise there)
Grade A-: Zero
Grade B+: Zero
Grade B: Five (four of them have a B+ case and may end up there)
Grade B-: Seven (one or two could be Bs)
Grade C+: 24
Grade C: Everyone else

I didn’t get much sleep last night and I am holding off on finalizing the B+/B cases until I have a fresh mind. Four of the five Bs could be B+ but I want to make sure I’m not just too giddy and easily impressed today.

The list has changed a bit since the first draft, accounting for a couple of trades I forgot to include and some additional names suggested for examination by readers.
