Fantasy Analysis
Jenkins, a 2009 first-round pick, went from the No. 3 prospect in the Jays' organization in 2010, according to Baseball America, to the No. 15 prospect in 2011 after he failed to impress in his first full season as a pro last year. However, he is beginning to show better promise here in '11 and might work his way back up the prospect ladder with continued development. It's clear, however, Jenkins is still a ways off from an MLB debut, so he remains just a long-term keeper. (Updated 06/05/2011).
