Season in Review: Gulf Coast League Blue Jays – Position Players

Jared Macdonald — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 08:38:44 +0000

With the Blue Jays’ potential offseason moves having dominated the site recently, here’s a shift back to our bread and butter: Blue Jays prospects. Though a little later than I had originally desired, here’s the first installment of the season in review features for each one of the Jays’ minor league affiliates.

Each team will be divided into two articles; one for every position player on the roster and one for every pitcher. You’ll find out how each player became a part of the Blue Jays organization, how their 2011 season went, and, when possible, there will be a quote from either the players themselves or someone in the industry about them. The goal of these reviews is to increase knowledge of the Jays’ minor league system and to get you ready for when we eventually kick off our second-annual Top 50 Jays Prospects: Jays Journal Edition later this fall.

Players are listed by position and in order of the most games played there. For players who played multiple positions, they will be slotted under whichever position they played the most games at.

For players that played on multiple teams throughout the season, I’ve decided to use whichever team they finished the year with to determine which affiliate they will be listed under. Since both Eric Arce and Dalton Pompey finished the season with Bluefield, they won’t be in this article despite spending the majority of their seasons in the GCL.

Check back Friday for a rundown of the GCL Jays pitching staff.
