Hardball Times seems to like the job AA has done as well. Ranking #4 overall
http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/fanta ... m-systems/4. Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto got good in a hurry. There isn't a can't-miss prospect in the bunch, but it's a strong top 10, with the top five likely to appear in my top 100 prospects, and there is plenty of talent throughout the system that is waiting for recognition.
1. Brett Lawrie / 3B/2B/OF
2. Kyle Drabek / SP
3. Deck McGuire / SP
4. J.P. Arencibia / C
5. Chad Jenkins / SP
6. Travis D'Arnaud / C
7. Carlos Perez / C
8. Adieny Hechavarria / SS
9. Zach Stewart / RP/SP
10. David Cooper / 1B

So unless you conform with everyone else, your list is ****?
This guy does his homework and different people have different opinions. Thankfully.

Having Cooper in the top 10 isn't just a different opinion, its flat out wrong and idiotic

Not the first time that THT has had bad prospect rankings.

Sounds right. They are also "fantasy rankings," so they are flawed in a way to begin with.

and even that doesn't make much sense, what possible fantasy value could David Cooper have?

Maybe the guy plays in some pretty deep fantasy leagues.

that has got to be the worst top ten list i've seen if that was our top 10 we would be ranked a heck of a lot lower than 4th best.

Not trying to be a debbie downer but if you trade the best pitcher in baseball and your starting pitcher last year you better move up the rankings.

heard that explanation before but you can't forget AA also acquired a potential ace and a potential top 5 shortstop by trading prospects. It turns out he just gives up mediocre prospects and only acquires elite ones.
