Toronto Blue Jays

Baseball Prospectus 1996


The Toronto Blue Jays are an interesting club because for the first time in 13 or 14 years, they are truly going through a rebuilding stage. The key man in the organization (Pat Gillick) has left, leaving an inexperienced Gord Ash to take over the GM position. Furthermore, the Jays ownership is changing and is very instable as Labatt's (their previous owners) were sold to Interbrew, who are not interested in any of Labatt's assets besides the beer. The Blue Jays could be sold again quickly.

The core of the World Series Champions has either been let go (Alomar, White, Molitor) or aged (Carter, Morris), and the new players haven't succeeded in replacing them. With owners who aren't interested in having a baseball team, they haven't been willing to commit the money for a top-notch team, and fan interest (in terms of season ticket sales) have dropped off. It could be interesting to watch their claims if they continue dropping; will they whine about being an uncompetitive small market, just a few years after being noted as a large market? Could somebody realize that "market size" has a large component of "team success" mixed in?

A special thanks to Gordon Niguma, who contributed heavily to these player reports.

Look at his statistics and guess his size and position. His numbers look so out of line with his 6'7", 230 pound frame that you may overlook another key issue: he's a first baseman who isn't hitting. Strangely enough, he does have good speed. Odd, odd player. No matter how interesting a story this *might* be, it ain't gonna matter because he's not going to ever be a big league regular. He was considered a good prospect after a solid 1993 campaign, but since then has done nothing to further his career and he's not going to force Toronto to trade John Olerud either, not to mention Carlos Delgado.

The Toronto organization, like most major league organizations, has been enamored by "tool" guys; people who can run like the wind but hit like Michael Jordan. This mix doesn't usually lead to good major league players and the trend is unlikely to change with Bowers. That .261 translated OBA just doesn't scare anyone.

Cited by Gord Ash as a potential starter at second base for the 1996 Jays. He's up against a cast of thousands and the Blue Jays org. doesn't particularly recognize him as a real "up and comer". He might get into a role if a couple players struggle, whine or hurt their backs slipping on a banana peel, but is merely a stop gap type player.

Brother of token Candian Rob Butler, who has since moved on to the Philadelphia Phillies. His only real asset is (supposedly) hitting for average. He is young, but even if he can hit .300 he's not going to be that good: he doesn't walk much, steal a lot of bases or hit for any power. At best he's a filler/role player. Will get more chances then a typical player of his skill simply because he is Canadian. Unlike Rob Ducey several years ago, he has very little chance of being a good player.

Joe Carter is interesting because in May he becomes a "10 and 5" man (ten years of service, five with the same team), which means he can veto any trade. The Jays would be much further along in their rebuilding phase if they were willing to trade him somewhere last year or in 1994, but this didn't happen. Why? There was a rumor that Carter was being shopped around. In fact, one rumor had Carter going to the Braves last year for Ryan Klesko which would have been a steal for the Blue Jays. Of course, it didn't happen. Here is my (highly hypothetical) take on the situation: Carter was being shopped around by Ash and made the offer to others around the league. He may have asked for Klesko, which sensibly the Braves laughed at. This is consistent with another rumor which claimed Ash did shop many of his veterans around, but made ridiculous trade proposals (another rumor was Cone for Tavarez and Embree). At the last minute, when no one was biting, he traded only David Cone (for questionable value) and got stuck with a bunch of old veterans who were going to leave as free agents anyways. In my opinion, Gord Ash's single biggest shortcoming so far as a Blue Jays GM is not relinquishing these players and getting something in return. He watched them leave and didn't even offer most of them arbitration, which would have at least netted some draft picks. It is quite possible that he did not know how to handle the situation; he certainly didn't learn this from Gillick, who was always a buyer in the "rent-a-player" game rather than a seller. Speculation on my part, but we all gotta believe something, right? So we'll see what happens to Carter this year, when his contract runs out.

As far as Carter the player is concerned, many people will tell you he's capping off a great, Hall of Fame career. *unprintable expletive* Here's how he ranks in important equivalent categories:

Career EPEQA: .274. This puts him in 660th place, behind such hitters as Pee Wee Reese, Buddy Bell, Stuffy McInnis, Jose Cardenal, and two of the worst outfielders currently in the Hall of Fame, Tommy McCarthy and Harry Hooper.

Career EPER: 995. 267th place, behind Claudell Washington, Richie Hebner, Harvey Kuenn, and Lloyd Waner.

Best 5-Year EPEQA: .280. 656th place, trailing Ray Knight, Wally Pipp, and Lloyd Waner.

Best 5-year EPER: 474. 269th place, behinf Don Buford, Bob Bescher, Ralph Garr, Alvin Davis, and Mike Greenwell.

Number of players ahead of him on all 4 lists: 186. Just on the last page of the listing, I see such batting luminaries as Mike Tiernan, George Van Haltren, Roy White, Roy Sievers, both Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker, George Scott, Eddie Yost, Bob Watson, Ken Singleton, and Dixie Walker: and that's without naming any of the Hall of Famers on the page.

To say that Joe Carter is an above average player now, is certainly a stretch of the truth. To say that Joe Carter was *ever* a great player is certainly a stretch of the truth: an outfielder who posts a .300 EPEQA exactly once (.301 in 1986) cannot be considered great. People *thought* he was a great player, and many still do, so perhaps Ash can still get a prospect or two for him. If Danny Tartabull can net you Andrew Lorraine and another player, you should have been able to get James Baldwin or Scott Ruffcorn or Mike Sirotka for Carter.

May win the second base job despite being the classic "good field, no hit" player....minus the "good field" label. Domingo Cedeno doesn't really kill the Jays because he doesn't play that much. Quite possibly will win the second base job by default, since he's got experience. Added to that was his performance in the Dominican League this winter, where he hit safely in every game he played and won the league batting title with a remarkable .425. Winter ball records notwithstanding, he can't hit.

Another candidate for the second base job, but unlike the others this guy can actually hit! I'm guessing that he won't play second base because of his defense and it's quite possible that he'll rot in AAA because he's not a good enough fielder to play second and because they already (foolishly) signed Ed Sprague to a long term deal. He used to play third base but switched with Chris Stynes. Not really considered a great prospect but has defintely shown ability and is still quite young. Should develop into a solid hitter (better than Ed Sprague).

Should be the DH on the 1996 team, but seems to be undergoing serious transitional problems to the major leagues. His struggles in winter ball are also worrisome. However, his upside is tremendous and he really dominated AAA last year. The Jays should certainly give him a shot, because he could be the best hitter on their team. With the departure of Molitor, I don't see how the Jays can't let Delgado get 400-500 at bats this year.

Hit major league pitching quite well last year, but was benched because Cito didn't like his defense. Certainly Gonzalez has a strong arm and was considered a good defensive shortstop in the minor leagues, but his defensive stats are atrocious. The Jays tried him at third a little bit towards the end of the year, but now that Ed Sprague is signed to a long term contract, Gonzalez may have to play SS effectively to ever be a major league player for the Blue Jays. Considered to be a hard worker, he has worked on all aspects of his game. When he first broke into pro ball, he couldn't hit. He's worked on that. He's added walks to his arsenal in 1994. I am impressed that he has done the things that he needs to do to become a good major league player. His next challenge will be to work on his range at shortstop. His offense is coming along fine, but whether he can field well enough to remain at shortstop is the key. He's not Alex Rodriguez or Derek Jeter, but he should develop into a damn fine shortstop.

One of the very few bright spots in a dismal season for the Jays, Shawn Green continued his torrid hitting from AAA into the major leagues, showing power and hitting for a decent average. He has been hyped for quite some time after being a high draft pick but didn't really hit until he exploded in 1994 with Syracuse. If the Jays can get Green, Gonzalez and Delgado to play the way they are capable of, they will be quite a strong team in the future. As the team turns away from it's glory days, it will be looking for a marquee player to put butts in the stands. Shawn Green is an exciting player, good looking and talented and is well qualified for the marquee player role.

Pretty good utility guy, accidentally played himself into a starting positing in 1994 after Delgado stopped hitting after a month of major league pitching (and then Delgado promptly returned in time to destroy AAA pitchers). Huff can do an OK job fielding and will draw a walk and not embarass you, but don't give him too much of a role or your team will sink faster than a cruise ship with Delta Burke on board. He was acquired for Domingo Martinez, which was much maligned at the time because people thought Martinez was a good prospect. This is a perfect illustration of how people do not understand age and minor league stats. Domingo Martinez was blocked behind John Olerud and had no future. Domingo Martinez didn't have many good minor league seasons and was fairly old for a prospect. That he wouldn't ever develop into a major league regular should have been no surprise to anyone. Meanwhile, Huff did what he was required to do as a bench player. Unforunately, his job was quickly forgotten because the Jays were not in contention.

Not the Pat Kelly from the Yankees.

This shortstop is too old to ever expect to be anything in the major leagues. Pretty well a generic middle infielder who clings to the hope that he might get a chance, but the probability of him getting enough service time to qualify for a major league pension is about the same as his probability of winning the lottery.

The subject of many trade rumors in the offseason. Cito Gaston has a severe dislike for Knorr's defensive abilities at catcher. Randy Knorr looked like he would develop into a decent hitting catcher (most of his offense generated by home runs) but he simply never got a full chance. The last straw was when Lance Parrish emerged as the starting catcher in 1995. Knorr would be best off in another organization.

Not singled out as a candidate for the second base job, but considering the competition, he should be given a look. Lis has kicked around for years with the Jays but was never considered by them very seriously. Won't be much more than a stop gap solution.

AKA Angel Martinez, he is being set up as the Toronto catcher of the future. Surprisingly, he was brought up in time to get 191 at bats with Toronto after struggling to hit at Knoxville, and din't embarass himself completely. Strong armed, but the rest of his defense was criticized hard and often by Jay commentator Buck Martinez.

As a ball player, I respect him in so much as he has stuck around. He does steal some bases, and draws some walks, which are good things. But he has a disgusting lack of power, and isn't really a good fielder anymore. I really think Stan Javier was a better option, and was cheaper. Hopefully Otis will be gone by the start of 1997, so that Shannon Stewart can play. However, Otis' two year deal pretty well guarantees him a starting role for the next two years, oui?

The Jays best player, now that Alomar has left. He is, sometimes, a great hitter. However, Olerud has typically gotten off to really slow starts (except in 1993, when he outhit Frank Thomas), which have really hurt his year end stats. Last year he was Alfredo Griffinesque for three months and George Brett in his prime for three months. He plays pretty good defense. The major concern about John is his lack of power. He really tailed off last year and hit very few homeruns at home. To be a premier player, Olerud is going to have to bang about 20 dingers a year and hit 40+ doubles. He is capable of doing it.

For all of those fans who complain about loud mouthed egotistical ballplayers, take a look at John Olerud. You gotta love him!

Was a very good player at one point, back when we thought Atari 2600 video games were cool and David Lee Roth had hair and was still in Van Halen. Shockingly grabbed the starting role over Knorr in 1995. It seemed clear that he had long lived out his usefulness years ago. A real slap in the face for Knorr, who didn't complain.

Continues to hit well in Syracuse, but his batting average is pretty empty. He is now too old to ever be a long term plan for the Blue Jays but I would expect him to stick around this year on the roster. A trade of Carter might open up playing time for him.

Rule V draftee, acquired through draft by California who promptly traded him to the Jays. He's obviously young and it's extremely hard to gauge how good he is after having to stay all year in Toronto. The organization loves him and Cito projected him to play either in AAA or in the majors this season. Ash mentioned that he has a chance to grab the second base job this year. Plays with confidence or cockiness...whatever you want to call it. Not exactly tearing up winter ball; he's not yet major league material.

Sort of a Randy Knorr type guy. A catcher who just couldn't make it despite showing some decent power. Could be a decent starter for the Jays in 1996, but might not even make the 25 man roster. Getting older and running out of time.

If Lou Gehrig had to bow out today he would no longer proclaim himself the luckiest man alive....that distinction would go to Ed Sprague after Gord Ash signed him to a $5.8 million, three year deal. I have some real problems with this contract. First off, there were better alternatives. Sign him to a one year deal. Go to arbitration. Sign Dave Hollins. Sign Kevin Seitzer. Second, the length of the deal. Isn't it imminent that the Jays are going to have to force someone out of a position soon? Felipe Crespo is a good young hitter, but may not field well enough to play second base. Ditto Alex Gonzalez. Miguel Cairo and possibly Tomas Perez will be looking for jobs. But they can't because they've already committed to Sprague. Third, Sprague just isn't that good even in his career year. It is astonishing that Jays fans actually think that Ed Sprague might be above average. This is a league with Wade Boggs, Jim Thome, Robin Ventura, Travis Fryman, Dean Palmer, Tim Naehring and Bobby Bonilla. If Ed Sprague is above average, then Tim Wallach and Jack Howell must be a pretty potent duo as well. Sprague's defense seems to have improved a little bit, but if he falls back into his previous "lump" defensive style, the Jays pitchers will concede all ground balls hit to third as singles.

A great prospect. Should take over center field in SkyDome as soon as he can push Nixon out of the way. He substantially increased his walks in 1995 (and carried that over into winter league ball). Clearly, someone in the organization told him to push up his OBP and he did exactly that. He can steal bases and play decent defense in center field (but his arm is not strong). Should be the Jays leadoff hitter by 1997.

Strikeout ratios along with a heater, in my opinion, will give you consideration as a prospect. Brandow obviously has struggled with his control but dominated the Arizona Fall League, giving some hope that he'll get straightened around. Your guess is as good as mine, and probably about as good as Gord Ash's.

Carpenter was a high draft pick and came out of high school. This is the typical Blue Jay draft: big, high school pitcher. Considered a good prospect and has made some good strides forward. Considering his age, you have to like him.

When you have a bad team with few talented starters, you have two options:

1) try to acquire older guys like Danny Darwin to do something 2) Pitch a bunch of young pitchers

The Jays did sign Danny Darwin, but when he didn't work out, their pitching cupboard was about as bare as Elizabeth Berkeley in "Showgirls". So they ran a bunch of nondescript guys out there, who they were pretty sure couldn't pitch, out of sheer desperation. I'd be surprised in any of these guys worked out, but they simply had no options. I will refer to these guys as the "Desperation Group" or DG for short. This is what bad teams have to do to get innings. Don't believe me? Check out the Tigers for the last, oh, five or six years?

A contender could certainly use Tony Castillo and since he's not exactly a marquee name in TO, it's a wonder he wasn't traded. He's got decent control but his usefullness to a rebuilding team is only to be traded for prospects. Broke into the Jays staff as a situational lefty, but has since gone through all progressions and actually got some save opportunities here and there. His effectiveness isn't likely continue, but that's what's been said for a few years now. Not a power pitcher...a real "slopballer".

A good pitcher when healthy, which is almost never. Relies almost exlcusively on a hard breaking ball which really hurts his arm. Cito utilized his effectiveness early in 1993, but pitched him way too often, and not suprisingly he was injured again in 1994. It's not rocket science to be aware that Cox needs to be treated with kid gloves to remain healthy, but Gaston didn't really do it. If he is healthy, he should pitch well. If not, he won't make the club.

Looked like a decent prospect after 1993 but hasn't really turned the corner. Again, this seems pretty typical of many, many Jays pitchers, who can pitch in A or sometimes AA ball but stink by the time they get to Syracuse. Must be the water.

A ridiculous signing by Gord Ash. Spending over $2 million on a pitcher who has struggled badly for two consecutive years is dumb. The reason they'll give for signing Guzman is that they could only offer a twenty percent cut from last year's high salary and that if they cut it more than that then he could leave as a free agent. The Jays would have been better off to cut him free and look for cheaper alternatives (Jamie Moyer and Sid Fernandez and perhaps Tom Gordon were out there). As it stands now, they can't win on this deal. Even if Guzman pitches well this year, he'll be free to leave next year as well and demand a high salary. If he doesn't pitch well, it will have just been a waste of money. This move will never be mentioned again in the media. It's ramifications are not that obvious to the surface, but wasted money is wasted resources which help create a bad ball club.

Though not as bad as the Guzman deal, there are still some fair questions here. Hanson has always been injury prone, which makes a three year deal especially risky. He struggled badly at the end of last year (5.00+ ERA in each of the last three months) which was attributed to the fact that he couldn't throw his curveball because his arm hurt. People say that's a plus; sounds to me like another indication that his arm is only good for 180 innings a year. He'ss also a poor match in Toronto. He's a groundball pitcher, and the Jays could have an absolutely atrocious defensive infield next year (Sprague, Gonzalez and Crespo). Hanson's a good pitcher, if his arm holds out, but he doesn't seem likely to make it for three years.

Not sure why he pitched so badly, but his control was noticeably worse and he gave up a ton of hits. The Jays defense is getting worse this year, so don't expect a miracle out of him. He's got a big contract, which I doubt he'll ever live up to.

Give Ash his due. The acquisition of Pace gives the Jays a reasonable pitching prospect...a guy that might be able to be a rotation starter. This cost them Eddie Zosky, who was going nowhere in the organization since he was blocked by Alex Gonzalez (not to mention Zosky can't hit). Teams that can make these trades will usually lose nothing and can win big once in a while....the trade doesn't make the front page of the newspaper but can be important later.

Signed at an extremely young age (16?) for a large amount from Brazil. Supposedly throws in the mid 90's and hasn't been overworked, which is certainly good. Considering his age, health and arm, he's got to be one of the Jays top prospects.

Ugh. Paul Quantrill. No good. Bad ERA. Can pitch lots of innings. Good control. But overall, pew. Quantrill is the exact definition of replacement pitcher. There are Jamie Moyers out there who can do what he does (probably better) for a cheaper price. yet Ash traded Howard Battle and Ricardo Jordan for him. Neither Battle or Jordan are great prospects, but they *might* be good, whereas Quantrill will always be mediocre. What is the point?

As silly as the Quantrill trade was, the Risley trade was a great move by Ash. Risley, simply moving into the closer role, will increase his value in case the Jays want to trade him. Miguel Cairo is a young player who isn't outstanding yet, but has the potential to be pretty good. Risley is already a great reliever. The cost was two of their generic pitching prospects, Hurtado and Menhart. No harm done, and a very good reliever and a decent prospect brought back.

Spoljaric was supposed to play a crucial role for the 1994 Jays, moving into their rotation after a ho-hum spring training. He got knocked around early then got shipped back, where he hasn't really regained any of the luster he had lost. He's got decent stuff and is a Canadian player.

Look under the Blue Jays dictionary for "enigma" and you'll see Mike Timlin's face. After a solid rookie year in 1991 where he demonstrated power stuff, he got hurt and has struggled to regain the form. The great thing about Timlin is that he's still striking out people by the bushel and gives a glimmer of hope that he's turned the corner. After 1994 and 1995 you'd think he'd be primed to close out games for the Jays, but he seems to blow every opportunity when the game is on the line. This is just subjective of course, but it seems like every time Mike Timlin looks like he's gonna do it, he breaks your heart. Give the closer job to Risley and see if Timlin can set him up. He's tough on right handers (.175 OBA allowed last year).

One really annoying thing about last year's debacle was Gaston's insistence on losing games with Duane Ward when it was obvious to anyone with a clue that he just wasn't healthy. He didn't pitch much, just 2.2 innings over four games in the majors, but in that time he allowed 11 hits in 19 opponent at bats. Not to mention 5 walks. Not to mention he wasn't even pitching well in the minors before he was brought up. He pitched a grand total of 13 innings last year. Someone will likely give him a try, but it's doubrtful he'll ever be effective again. That's truly sad, because he really was a great pitcher.

Jeff Ware will likely get the 5th spot in the Jays rotation next year after showing power stuff at Syracuse and in the majors last year. While his stuff is solid, you have to wonder at his durability. But he's got a reasonable chance to be good, which is better than most of the generic Jays pitching prospects.

No reason to think he'll ever have any significance to the major league club. Unless he's brought in to intentionally bean Frank Thomas or something.

The old Met! His background record since 1993 doesn't look too good, but he can't hurt a team like this. Maybe he can teach some of these Jays how to throw strikes, because that's something that Galen Cisco seemed to refuse. "You'll never be good in the majors if you throw strikes", seemed to be the battlecry last year.

Likely won't get a job as a starting pitcher, but assuming he's healthy, he'll pitch pretty well. Certainly not overpowering but effective.
