Keith Law top 50 (3 jays)
Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 8:39 pm
5. Travis d'Arnaud, C, Toronto Blue Jays (age 23)
Current level: Triple-A (Las Vegas)
Preseason ranking: 6
D'Arnaud, who recently tore a ligament in his knee and will miss as much as two months, can't catch a break. It's possible, even likely, he is always going to be an injury-prone player, one who is great when he plays but won't average 140 games a year the way you'd want.
25. Aaron Sanchez, RHP, Toronto Blue Jays (Age 20)
Current level: Low Class A (Lansing)
Preseason ranking: 96
He has an electric arm that is loose and easy with life on the fastball and an out-pitch slider. He hasn't been fully tested by Toronto, which has him on such a tight pitch count that he doesn't turn lineups over three times, facing 20 batters for the first time in one outing just last week. He also has a comical, if not particularly meaningful, platoon split against lefties. He has faced 105, walked 25, fanned 45 and given up just eight singles for a .077/.254/.077 line.
32. Jacob Marisnick, CF, Toronto Blue Jays (age 21)
Current level: Double-A (New Hampshire)
Preseason ranking: 47
He is still a five-tool guy, but he did nearly all of his damage in the Florida State League against lefties, so it's a little surprising to see him moved up to Double-A, typically the hardest jump for any prospect until the last one to the majors.
