Fantasy Analysis
Neither of these players were expected to break camp with the team and will serve as organizational depth for the upcoming season. Fantasy owners should continue to ignore them in all formats. (Updated 03/24/2012).
03/30/2012 18:11 These red-hot Blue Jays provide flashback of 1990s glory days
The Blue Jays have been hot out of the shoot before. But Scott Miller says this doesn't look like another false alarm, not when they have pitching and offense, and a hitter drawing George Brett comparisons.
Anthony Gose has been mentioned among the top prospects in baseball since the Blue Jays first requested him -- and were denied -- as part of the Roy Halladay deal in 2009, but 2011 was the first year his numbers backed up the hype. In his first full season with the organization that coveted him from the beginning, Gose demonstrated a little pop to go along with his blazing speed, and if the Blue Jays are right, it's just the tip of the iceberg for him offensively. Owning Gose in a long-term keeper league requires a certain amount of blind faith because if you assess him strictly on numbers, his high strikeout rate and mediocre batting average would likely scare you away. But if you ignore the numbers and trust the scouts' judgment, you'll see the potential for elite Fantasy production. Gose's step forward in 2011 supports what the scouts have been saying all along. The next one could put him in the majors, which means now could be your last chance to buy in on him in a long-term keeper league. Isn't he worth it for the speed alone? (Updated 2/9/12)
