Kevin Goldstein recently unveiled his list of the top ten Blue Jays prospects. Coming in at number one is rightfielder Travis Snider. Snider tore up rookie ball after being the Jays top pick in 2006. This is a kid who’s worth keeping an eye as he moves up the ladder. He’ll probably start in Lansing in 2007.
Adam Lind is on the side of the equation as he’s ready for the bigs after stops at Double A, Triple A and then a cup of coffee in September. Lind is a guy who could make an immediate impact with the Blue Jays this year and he may even supplant Reed Johnson out in left field.
After that, things take a dip. Left handed pitcher Ricky Romero was the Jays number one pick in 2005 and nice stint in High A, he was only okay at Double A, which is probably where he’ll land in 2007.
Curtis Thigpen is number four and at catcher, he’s just waiting for Greg Zauhn to retire or move on. Then is gets really bad because number five is 26 year old Francisco Rosario, a right handed pitcher signed out of the Domincan Republic way back in 1999. Expect to see him fill a minor role in the bullpen for the Jays
