Conner Greene was probably the only standout performer on the farm prospect-wise. A couple old hands had good nights and there were a few strong pitching performances. The affiliates went 4-4.

ROCHESTER 3 Buffalo 0 Game One (7 Innings)

Jeff Francis had a bit of a tough luck loss. He pitched six innings of three run (two earned) baseball. Francis struck out four to eight hits and a walk. No multi-hit Bisons.

Rochester 1 BUFFALO 2 Game Two (7 Innings)

Game two featured better pitching from Phillippe Aumont. Aumont pitched six innings of one run, eight strikeout, four walk, and three hit ball. Chris Heisey’s walk off homerun in the seventh won it for the Bisons.

Akron 0 NEW HAMPSHIRE 1

Conner Greene is taking Double-A by storm. Six more shutout innings for Greene tonight, though he only struck out a single batter and walked three. Nonetheless, a bright looking prospect indeed.

Dunedin 3 BREVARD COUNTY 4

J.D. Davis could not cash the tying run on third in the ninth as the Dunedin comeback was all for not tonight. Mitch Nay had two hits and Matt Dean collected his 22nd double of the season.

Lansing 3 CLINTON 6

I’m not sure how Lane Thomas is up with Lansing, but there you have it. Thomas doubled in four trips. D.J. Davis had two hits and Ryan McBroom homered as part of two hits as well. Tom Robson took the loss with four and a third of six run (five earned) ball.

Vancouver 0 HILLSBORO 1

Two Canadians’ hits, but six impressive innings from starter Francisco Rios. Rios allowed one earned run on three hits and seven strikeouts.

Princeton 3 BLUEFIELD 11

Would it be terribly inaccurate to say the Jays’ new policy to amateur talent is to draft North American pitching prospects and sign top position player Latin talent? Seems like that’s been the policy these past few years, no? One of those position player talents, Yeltsin Gudino, homered tonight. Gudino has yet to find his groove here, but I gather his homerun tonight was his first as a professional. Gabriel Clark had three hits and homered as well. Deiferson Barreto had three hits.

GCL BLUE JAYS 6 GCL YANKEES1 4 Game One (7 innings)

Danny Jansen had two hits. All is not lost on the catching front. Reggie Pruitt will be one to watch in the next few years as he gets over his mechanical issues in his swing and molds into a leadoff hitter. Pruitt was hitless, but drove in two runs.

GCL BLUE JAYS v GCL YANKEES1 Game Two RAIN

This game was halted after the Yankees’ affiliate hit in the top half of the first due to rain. It will be completed on August 26, 2015. The Jays were leading 4-1.

Encouraging start by Aumont.
ayjackson - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 08:40 AM EDT (#308832) #
Pitchers 1-2-3. Thought we traded them all?
cybercavalier - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 10:24 AM EDT (#308838) #
Is Aumont part of next season's plan? Like how Copeland is called up this season and unlike Copeland Aumont would stay in Toronto.

The Jays have released Joba Chamberlain. 
MatO - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 11:11 AM EDT (#308845) #
Aumont walked 4 guys and that was a good day for him. Until he stops walking everyone in sight he's a non-prospect.
cybercavalier - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 11:59 AM EDT (#308853) #
I agree with MatO; The Jays has pitching coming up, Connor Greene et al., the Jays can afford to give Aumont time to improve.
cybercavalier - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 12:08 PM EDT (#308855) #
According to English Wikipedia, Joba exercised an opt-out clause and became a free agent.

For Canadian ballplayers, it seems the Jays has signed a number of them this season for higher minors - Francis, Albers, Kottaras, Aumont.

Thanks, cybercavalier, you're correct:  technically Chamberlain wasn't released by the Jays, he used an out clause in his contract.  

But with 8 earned runs in 5 innings for Buffalo, he didn't seem to have much left in the tank and had no real future in the Jays organization.  Not with all the many good relief arms ahead of him in the depth chart.

It's not quite true. Sanchez has a 1.34 SO/W. Aumont would be useful if he could average 2.00.

Heck, Dickey is at 1.83.

Sanchez has only 1 walk as a reliever this year.

Oceanbound - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 01:37 PM EDT (#308864) #
Aumont would need to start striking out more people than Kenley Jansen to get a 2.00 K/BB. Not happening.
cybercavalier - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 03:23 PM EDT (#308878) #
Thanks for compliment.

[Aumont] didn't seem to have much left in the tank and had no real future in the Jays organization.  Not with all the many good relief arms ahead of him in the depth chart.


For Aumont, who according to English Wikipedia, idolizes Randy Johnson so getting-K is crucial to Aumont's success. The bottom-line seems to be that Jays can afford having him around with the pitching depth.
China fan - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 03:37 PM EDT (#308880) #
You're misquoting.  I made that comment about Chamberlain, not Aumont.
Ryan Day - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 04:39 PM EDT (#308887) #
Aumont was drafted 37 spots ahead of Josh Donaldson. Then he was the centrepiece of a trade for Cliff Lee.

Prospects, man. Go figure.

I haven't touted Griffen Glaude for a couple of weeks or so. He has now given up 9 hits in 24 innings for the Gulf Coast League Jays with 31 strike outs and 4 saves. Those results are enough to raise both eyebrows.
PeterG - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 05:20 PM EDT (#308899) #
Not at all. Claude is a 23 year old college pitcher in a league with 18/19 year olds. He would have to be doing this with at least Vancouver to get my attention.
cybercavalier - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 07:04 PM EDT (#308923) #
Thank Chinafan for pointing out.

Is Buffalo in postseason hunt ? 5 GB in wild card and 6 GB behind divisional leader; I think so.



cybercavalier - Friday, August 14 2015 @ 07:07 PM EDT (#308924) #
Ryan Day, so using prospects as trade asset is a good strategy because of their perceived values.
JB21 - Saturday, August 15 2015 @ 01:36 AM EDT (#308991) #
Jon Harris with a nice start tonight.
ogator - Saturday, August 15 2015 @ 09:24 AM EDT (#308998) #
But what about Angel Perdomo after him? Actually, what about Angel Perdomo in general? He looks very interesting.
