AA won't touch Manny with a ten foot pole.
Not his style and the Jays are better off without him the more I think about it.

Looks like Royals wanted more from the Jays, than what they settled with from Brewers. I don't see Royals getting a break out impact player here.
I'd rather have Brett Lawrie than what Royals got for Grienke.

Draft order so far for 2011. Jays have 5 picks in top 50.

Bleacher Report ranks Jays farm systerm 3rd best in baseball, behind Kansas City Royals system which is supposed to be 'historically good' ,whatever that means, and Tampa Bay at #2.
BR's report on Twins farm system, rated #8, is weird. Quote: "Position players Lars Anderson, Brett Lawrie, Wilson Ramos, and Conor Gillaspie are all potential MLB starters.". Problem is all 4 of those players belong to other organizations. Can't believe they didn't catch this and correct it.

As for Dotel signing, I would have preferred to promote a minor leaguer and spend the money saved on one or two highly ranked undrafted Latin free agents when teams are able to sign them after July 1/11.
Latin market is where Yankees seem get all their best prospects. Robinson Cano for a few years now and Jesus Montero on the way.
I've got a feeling Dotel is going to make Kevin Gregg look like Mariano Rivera but Anthopoulos hopes to convert a 1 year Dotel stay in Toronto into a Type B compensation round pick in 2012. The Elias Sports Bureau places a lot of emphasis on saves, and if he can get saves, his ranking by them could go high enough to obtain Type B status going into 2012 season.
This past season the Jays were able to convert Buck, Gregg and Olivo into picks 42, 49, and 50 in the 2011 baseball draft. AA is obsessed with finding ways to manufacture round 1A comp pics and that's a good thing at this stage.

Top 25 prospects in AL East. 4 of 5 Yankee prospects on list were undrafted unrestricted Latin free agents.
Since Jays aren't spending much on payroll I hope they put more money into Latin free agent market in next couple of years. Wish they signed #9 last summer instead of Yankees.

i hope the jays can do somthing, i think they have a better chance then the raps or the leafs at doing any damage.
I will always support the jays though because they did bring us the best times when they won !

Not sure how much is Latin, but I think the Jays are really stocking up on a lot of youngsters.
We can outspend Tampa, not Yanks or Sox. This way we have a better chance of outdrafting the big spenders. It's a bit of an equalizer.
Now, we just have to draft and then develop well.
Unless it's a multi-year with club options and a heavily loaded back end. That would make sense.
Keith Law was on Fan590 yesterday talking about Jays prospects in the system this year.

Of the 2 prospects with possibly the best chance of having an impact on the team in 2011, my guess is Drabek will go something like
10 W, 9 Loses, 4.10 ERA, (assuming, of course, he stays up with the Jays all year in a starting role with no injuries and no demotions.
While Aaron Cibia
, my guess would guess something like
.220 BA, 18 home runs , assuming he catches 105 games or so this year in MLB.

You mean Jay Pee Aaron Cibia?While Aaron Cibia

When do the pitchers and catchers report?
BTW: The Jays should do well financially this year. Their revenue is in CAD's and their player salary expense is in USD's.
