Hard to know where the organization stands on Pompey. I think he got pretty overrated because of the whole Canadian drafted by the Canadian team story. Not sure he can hit well enough to be a full time MLB outfielder and he doesn't carry the same type of glove Pillar does that can compesante for the lack of a bat.

I think Pompey was rushed to the bigs and that hurt his development, they did the same thing with Travis Snider.
The Jays haven't had a great track record of drafting and developing high end position players of late.
I think Harold Ramirez is going to end up passing Pompey on the depth chart by the end of the year.
