Hello, my name is Greg Bracken and I will be covering the Blue Jays\u2019 prospects here at Prospects1500. Born and raised in Toronto I have followed the Jays for as long as I can remember. I will be putting out my Top 50 list in the coming weeks that I hope along with the other lists on the site will help make a great resource for those looking for an edge in their dynasty leagues.<\/p>\n

I still live in the Toronto area with my wonderful wife, who is always understanding of the time I spend researching and following minor league prospects in their pursuit to the major leagues. Unfortunately, the closest minor league park to where we live is in Buffalo (Toronto AAA) so the chance to see minor league games is difficult however we do try to get to Blue Jays<\/a> home games as often we can.<\/p>\n

I began playing fantasy baseball back in the early days of scoring by hand from the boxscores in the daily newspaper. \u00a0Over the past 10 years I have been playing in several dynasty leagues all of which have very deep minor league components including the 24 team, 225 man roster GMDL that a few of the other contributors to this site are also in.<\/p>\n
