Once you count park/opposition factors, both Cahill and Gonzalez would not be as good in the AL East in Rogers center. Morrow and Alvarez would be more or less in the same overall abilities as either Cahill or Gonzalez. I give preference to the guys that we know that players that might transition poorly.

As for my evaluation of AA and the jays prospects, The jays went from more or less 30th to #1 or #2 in the team's farm system in just over a year with most of the prospects that the jays have are still only in A or lower. It's a bit unusual for a team to be rated so high with only a handful of guys at AA or AAA considering that the only guy who's doing exceptional there is D'Arnaud.
