Backfield Banter: Blue Jays Instructs Camp 9/11-9/12

Backfield Banter: Blue Jays Instructs Camp 9/11-9/12

Camera-wielding drones buzzed overhead, and there was no shade to be found save for the unintentional sort—in the shadow of a large pole or beside the small building strategically placed in the center of the quad fields. Ninety minutes into the second camp day, I had finally mustered enough “courage” to approach members of the Toronto Blue Jays staff who had been running the start of their instructs camp. My untrained eye deduced these men fell into three categories: coaches, player development staff, and video crew. (And a mysterious forth category, polo shirt question mark?)

2018 Arizona Fall League Preview: Salt River Rafters

2018 Arizona Fall League Preview: Salt River Rafters

The facilities at Salt River, which is the spring training home to the Diamondbacks and Rockies, are considered to be the best in baseball and the Salt River team should be amongst the top in the Fall League. The 2018 Salt River Rafters will be comprised of prospects from the Diamondbacks, Rockies, Nationals, Marlins, and Twins organizations. The collection of offensive talent and athleticism on this team will be hard to top with as many as six top-100 prospects selected for this team. Brendan Rodgers and Carter Kieboom are two of the most well known prospects here, but there are plenty of others to get excited about.

2018 Arizona Fall League Preview: Mesa Solar Sox

2018 Arizona Fall League Preview: Mesa Solar Sox

After finishing as the runner-up to Peoria in 2017, the Solar Sox bring a somewhat sub-par roster into 2018 league play. The highlights include a strong infield, some athletic outfielders, and a strong defensive catcher in Jake Rogers. Then again, this is the Arizona Fall League, who cares about records and such? We’re here for the prospects. A product of your affiliates organizational depth, Mesa draws from the Red Sox, Cubs, Tigers, Angels, and A’s. Not exactly the strongest group to pull from when the Tigers, Angels, and A’s don’t send their biggest name talent. That’s not to say there isn’t a strong group of future major leaguers to follow, but more on that below it’s the 2018 Mesa Solar Sox Preview.
