Just a couple things since we're in that fallow period before those sweetest of words, Pitchers and Catchers Report.
MLB has published its Top 20 for the Blue Jays organization. As should surprise no one, Travis d'Arnaud is first, followed by Anthony Gose and Jake Marisnick and a bunch of pitchers. It's a bit different from ours and every other list.
In other prospect news, Keith Law has come out with his organizational rankings this year, rating the Blue Jays 3rd overall [ESPN Insider]. The Padres are one, followed by the Rays, the Jays, the Cards and the Royals. We won't post the full comment, but Keith sums up the ranking by suggesting "They are the organization most likely to be No. 1 on this list next winter." His top 100 and top 10s for each organization come out tomorrow.
CBS Sportsline has a sort of complimentary piece on the Jays 5 year contract policy, which as you may recall we talked about on this week's Boxcast.
A few days old now, but old friends (well, sort of) Shawn Camp and Mark Teahan have landed with the Mariners and Nationals respectively.
Thursday Afternoon Update: Darin Mastroianni is now a Twin, claimed off waivers from the Jays. [H/T rpiske]
Koby Clemens, progeny of Roger, has also signed a minor league deal with the Jays. He's a 25 year old first baseman and will likely go to New Hampshire [H/T Kevin Goldstein via Gerry]
Anything else?
