Another frustrating season has gone off the rails and the window of contention that management hoped was still there last season has now passed. The move to start selling off players began in late June with the trading of Steve Pearce<\/a> and continued up until the trade deadline with deals for J.A. Happ<\/a>, Roberto Osuna<\/a>, Seung-Hwan Oh, Aaron Loup<\/a> and John Axford<\/a>. We have already started to see some bright spots this year in the play of infielder Lourdes Gurriel<\/a> Jr. and more recently pitcher Ryan Borucki<\/a>. This is a top 5 system with many of the top prospects now into the higher levels so good things should be returning to Toronto again soon.<\/p>\n

Prospects1500 Tiers:<\/strong>
\nTier 1:<\/strong> Players with high expectations of both making the majors and playing at an All-Star level for a number of years
\nTier 2:<\/strong> Players with an above average expectation of making the majors and being a solid contributor
\nTier 3:<\/strong> Players with an average expectation of making the majors and being a solid contributor
\nTier 4:<\/strong> Players who have the potential of making the majors, or have high likelihood of making the majors but providing minimal impact (e.g. middle reliever, low-ceiling UT guys)
\nTier 5:<\/strong> Players who are worth keeping an eye on, but likely to never make a team\u2019s 40-man roster<\/p>\n

GRADUATED: Lourdes Gurriel<\/a> Jr. (Previously #7), Ryan Borucki<\/a> (previously #12), Dwight Smith<\/a> Jr. (Previously #30)

1. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/a>, 3B (Previously #1)<\/strong>
\nAge: 19 (DOB 03\/16\/99)
\nCurrently with AAA Buffalo
\nThe #1 prospect in all of baseball started the season at AA New Hampshire where he was five years younger than the league average. He was no match for the Eastern League as he slashed .402\/.449\/.671 with 14 HR, 60 RBI in 61 games. After missing time with a knee injury he was promoted to AAA Buffalo where he is 12 for 26 with 2 HR, 5 RBI and 8 walks in his first 9 games. The Toronto fans are eagerly awaiting his arrival.<\/p>\n

2. Bo Bichette<\/a>, SS (Previously #2)<\/strong>
\nAge: 20 (DOB: 03\/05\/98)
\nCurrently with AA New Hampshire
\nBichette is so good some feel he is having a bad season because he is hitting only .282 after lofty numbers of .384 in 2017 and .427 in 2016. Relax everyone he is back on fire slashing .338\/.372\/.600 since the All-Star break. He leads the Eastern League in Total Bases with 201. One of the top 10 prospects in baseball.<\/p>\n

Tier 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Danny Jansen<\/a>, C (Previously #8)<\/strong>
\nAge: 23 (DOB: 04\/15\/95)
\nCurrently with AAA Buffalo
\nHaving another outstanding season at AAA Buffalo as he awaits a call to Toronto to begin the transition of taking over catching duties from Russell Martin<\/a>. He is slashing .273\/.387\/.472 with 12 HR and 56 RBI. The wait will end with a September call-up.<\/p>\n

4. Anthony Alford<\/a>, OF (Previously #3)<\/strong>
\nAge: 24 (DOB: 07\/20\/94)
\nCurrently with AAA Buffalo
\nAlford has struggled all season at the plate after suffering a hamstring strain near the end of spring training. He is only slashing .225\/.305\/.335 with 5 HR and 13 SB at AAA Buffalo. He had a 7 game stint with Toronto early in the season going 2 for 14, He remains the best long-term option to make an impact in the Blue Jays<\/a> outfield.<\/p>\n

5. Nate Pearson<\/a>, RHP (Previously #5)<\/strong>
\nAge: 21 (DOB: 08\/20\/96)
\nCurrently on DL with Hi-A Dunedin
\nUnfortunately it has been a lost season for this high upside pitcher. He began the season with an oblique injury and then in his season debut he suffered a broken forearm when he was hit with a comebacker after throwing only 34 pitches.<\/p>\n

6. Kevin Smith<\/a>, SS (Previously #25)<\/strong>
\nAge: 22 (DOB: 07\/04\/96)
\nCurrently with Hi-A Dunedin
\nAn outstanding season has seen Smith rapidly move up this list. He has a great combination of power and speed. A slash line of .355\/.407\/.639 in A Lansing and a power surge of 13 HR since his promotion to Hi-A Dunedin in late May have combined to give him totals of .316\/.374\/.560 with 20 HR, 79 RBI and 26 SB across two levels this season.<\/p>\n

7. Cavan Biggio<\/a>, 2B (Previously Unranked)<\/strong>
\nCurrently with AA New Hampshire
\nAge: 23 (DOB: 04\/11\/95)
\nSelected in the fifth round of the 2016 draft, Biggio has made the biggest leap of any prospect in the system this year. He is second in the Eastern League in HR (24), RBI (85) and OPS (.940) and Total Bases (189) hitting cleanup in a stacked AA New Hampshire lineup.<\/p>\n

Tier 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. Jordan Groshans<\/a>, SS (Previously N\/A)<\/strong>
\nAge: 18 (DOB: 11\/10\/99)
\nCurrently with Rookie GCL Blue Jays<\/a>
\nThis high-schooler from Texas was the 12th overall pick in the 2018 draft. He has exploded out of the gate with 4 HR, 38 RBI and a slashline of .380\/.439\/.593 in his first 28 games in the GCL.<\/p>\n

9. Sean Reid-Foley<\/a>, RHP (Previously #4)<\/strong>
\nAge: 22 (DOB: 08\/30\/95)
\nCurrently with AAA Buffalo
\nHaving a good bounce back season after an up and down year in 2017.

He should be the next starter to debut in Toronto.<\/p>\n

10. Eric Pardinho<\/a>, RHP (Previously #20)<\/strong>
\nAge: 17 (DOB: 01\/05\/01)
\nCurrently with Rookie Bluefield
\nPitching in the APPY league at 17 years old, 3-4 years younger than the league average is a great story in itself but dominating is something else. 45 strikeouts and only 12 walks in 33 innings for a 3.32 ERA over 8 starts.<\/p>\n

11. Miguel Hiraldo<\/a>, SS (Previously #43)<\/strong>
\nAge: 17 (DOB: 09\/05\/00)
\nCurrently with Rookie DSL Blue Jays<\/a>
\nIt\u2019s only the DSL but Hiraldo is hitting .325\/.391\/.467 in 50 games. The glut of shortstops in the system is likely the only reason he has not yet been brought stateside. A move off of shortstop is likely in the future for the top-ranked player from the 2017 J2 class.<\/p>\n

12. Forrest Wall<\/a>, OF (Previously #12 Colorado)<\/strong>
\nAge: 22 (DOB: 11\/20\/95)
