ESPN's Keith Law has released his Top 10 Prospects list for each American League East club. His top five Blue Jays prospects are pitchers and has seven hurlers rated among his top 10. The Jays did not fare very well in his farm system ranking.


No. 2 and trying harder: Roberto Osuna was Keith Law's number two Blue Jays prospect. The Mexican righty just turned 18 today.

In the ESPN Insider article, Law ranked the Jays 24th overall and last in the AL East. Tampa Bay was rated third, the New York Yankees were 10th, Baltimore was 13th and Boston placed 17th.

Law's Top 10 Jays prospects list...

  1. Aaron Sanchez, RHP
  2. Roberto Osuna, RHP
  3. Marcus Stroman, RHP
  4. Sean Nolin, LHP
  5. Matt Smoral, LHP
  6. Anthony Alford, OF
  7. D.J. Davis, OF
  8. Adonys Cardona, RHP
  9. Chase DeJong, RHP
  10. Santiago Nessy, C
Other players noted by Law were RHP John Stilson, OF Kevin Pillar and LHP Daniel Norris. In Law's Top 100 prospects list — another ESPN Insider piece — Sanchez was rated 19th while Osuna ranked 87th. Law also has a video feature of the American League prospects he feels will break out in 2013.
Continuing with all things Keith Law, he is to appear with Eric Karabell for the final podcast of ESPN Baseball Today. It was announced on last week's podcast that Baseball Today will be replaced by another podcast — ESPN Baseball Tonight — hosted by Buster Olney. Though I felt the podcast was not the same after the ouster of Peter Pascarelli — who joked about commissioner Bud Selig's statue in Milwaukee being a good target for bird crap — it was something I faithfully listened to all year round, especially during the off-season. Does anyone else tune in to this podcast? What other baseball-related podcasts do you listen to? The floor is yours.
