1. Jays end up with the Top Prospect from the Tigers organization and he immediately ranks 9th on the Jays prospect list. Two ways too look at this.... The Jays system is deeper than most of us probably think and The Tigers have really gone all in over the past few years and depleted their system to utter ruins.
2. Dalton Pompey will be in CF for the Jays in April! He has much more upside than a guy like Pillar and if AA and Beeston expect the Jays to be contention they are going to need some decent contribution out of the CF position and Pompey's potential could provide more than Pillar's.
3. I'm not familiar at all with Devon Travis, I have never seen him play or even heard of him prior to yesterday, but what has me excited about him (after reading a bit about him today) is that he seems to be a guy who get's by on hard work and could be refereed to as a "Grinder", things the Jays haven't really been known for developing.
4. I think the Jays lost most of their hope for Gose last year and it primarily came from his reluctance to use his time in Buffalo to help himself get better. Guy never hit better than .250 in AAA and had an on base of just over .300. For a guy who needs to rely on his legs to make him a star he needed to work as much as possible on getting on base.
5. I'm going to assume that Travis starts in Buffalo in April. This makes me Happy as i'll get to see him play on my annual trip to a Bisons Game! If you live in Southern Ontario and haven't been to Buffalo for a Bisons you are doing yourself a disservice.
*** Bonus Thought! I am so glad I won't have to look at the horrible full of holes swing that Anthony brought to the plate!
