D'Arnaud has been a beast in AAA this season and isn't slowing down. Even at the very beginning of the season when he was getting out, he was hammering line drives left right and center.

I don't watch AAA games without D'Arnaud in the lineup.

Man this offseason is going to be one of the most intriguing offseasons the Jays have had in a long time. Who stays, Who Goes at C, 1B, LF, CF. Our catching position being the most antipated with d'Arnaud and JPA slugging it out neck to neck. Great to see where d'Arnaud is ranked so far this season amongst prospects.

The only catching prospect in the top 25. Impressive. Can't wait until he's up here.

And then there's Baltimore with the 1st and 3rd top prospects...

Little jealous of the teams with more than one prospect in the top 25.

They don't have our depth, though. We've got each level stacked with prospects.

nice to see that BOS, NYY, and TB only have 1 prospect combined in the top 25..

DW, the number one guy only throw 100 MPH with 2 walks in 30 IP and 40 K's. He also allows 1.5 hits per 9 innings.

As scary as this is (and it's ***king scary), I'd still take our system our any other in baseball, even the Padres and Rangers.

CRAZY DEPTH FOR THE WIN!!!!!!

What a luxury it is for us to have the stable of catchers we do;

D'Arnaud
Arencibia
Gomes
Jimenez
Lawrie :lol:

D'Arnaud is a future all-star...

As for Bundy being a future HOF, too many fire-ball dynamos have flamed out over the years for me to be drinking that kool-aid yet. He is an unbelievable talent though, I'll say that much.

Dylan Bundy and Manny Machado are not gonna keep the Orioles out of 5th place even if they pan out perfectly. That organizatoin is flawed on every level, they have an owner who refuses to give autonomy to his GM's, they have a GM that is out of touch with the new analytical methods used to build a team, they have a scouting staff that doesn't produce quality prospects after the first round and they have a major league roster that is mediocre at best being masked by a couple of phenomenal players.

Machado will be something like Yunel I bet, hardly a superstar.
