Toronto Blue Jays management busy evaluating future prospects – MLB News
As soon as the next Major League season is fast approaching, every MLB team is getting anxious to start their season on a positive note.
Currently the media is reporting that the Toronto Blue Jays’ top management and mainly their scouts are evaluating all future prospects for the next big event.
These scouts are looking deep into their every Minor League player’s performances and assessing their abilities for their future to become Major League professionals.
Though these scouts are focusing on every important and potential player but sources have reported that currently, the Blue Jays are giving top priority to Chad Jenkins, Drew Hutchison, Evan Crawford, Mike McDade, Jon Diaz, Moises Sierra, Anthony Gose and watching closely their past performances.
Recently, Blue Jays' vice-president Tony LaCava has also stated in the media regarding this program and how benefiting this will turn out in the near future.
LaCava said, “The program started last year. The idea of it was to demystify the major leagues for some of the young kids that might have a chance to get here within a year or so, If we could get them up here to see the clubhouse-see Toronto, first of all. For instance, Hutchison had never been outside of the United States. He had to go through customs. That’s good. We want those guys, the more they can experience those things, the less they have to worry about when they get here, in terms of day-to-day stuff.”
Among all these selected Minor League players, Anthony Gose is someone, who has showed his class last year. According to the MLB sources, Gose is currently ranked highest prospect in the franchise while many inside the Blue Jays’ believe that he possesses all the qualities to become a Major League player in 2012.
To Gose’s credit, playing in the Fisher Cats, he scored the winning run in the final game of Eastern League and won the game for his team. Later, he also passed Darin Mastroianni's record for stolen bases in one season when he finished with 70 stolen bases receiving appreciation from many baseball experts.
In the meanwhile, this programme of evaluating Minor League players is certainly a positive step forward by the Blue Jays management and in the near future who knows, they will get some of the talented Minor Leaguers dominating the Major League players.
