Jays' Top 10 minor-league prospects
Very flattering analysis by unnamed scouts. Still, you can't help but look forward to what's coming up the ladder for the Blue Jays.
Quote:
3. Centre fielder Anthony Gose, 20, N.H.
“Some say he’s like Brett Butler, who slapped base hits and stole for Cleveland. For me he’s closer to another Devon White when it comes to having pop. His arm is better than Jesse Barfield’s, as good as Ellis Valentine. He’s been working with (coach) Rich Miller and you can see an improvement cutting down on caught stealings.”
4. Shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, 22, N.H.
“This guy has the best range in the minors. If they keep Yunel Escobar at short, fine. Flip this guy to second. He’ll make people forget Aaron Hill in the field in about three games. If they move Escobar to third, this guy is the real deal, some kind of athlete.”
