Not much help coming from the minor leagues in 2010?

For all those people that want to contend in 2010 without trading Doc, we need to find help from somewhere else because there's not much coming from the farm

great article i just came across about how the Jays have depleted their farm system with all these callups. That's not to say we don't have a bright future or anything but its just that there's not many guys that can help us contend in 2010

So who do the Jays have ready to step up in 2010 who we haven't seen yet? The answer is not much. They could add a catcher and a right hand hitting first baseman, and possibly a relief pitcher or two but there are slim pickings on the farm until the high school picks and the 2009 draft class come through in 2011 or 2012.

The Jays best prospect who has never played in the major leagues is probably one of JP Arencibia; Justin Jackson; or Tyler Pastornicky. The answer is not obvious and none of them would be considered "A" level prospects at this stage of their development.
