Minor league rosters will be announced this week. The Blue Jays do not release rosters until the home town teams have their chance to announce their teams first. Most of those announcements will come today and tomorrow. Some of the reporters covering the major league team will have some news sooner, and as I type this the Fisher Cats have released their roster.

Its fairly easy to predict where most of the top 30 will be placed.

Buffalo will have Rowdy Tellez, Christian Lopes and Danny Barnes.

The Fisher Cats will have Reese McGuire, Ryan McBroom, Richard Urena, Anthony Alford, Harold Ramirez, Conner Greene, Shane Dawson, Sean Reid-Foley, Francisco Rios and Jon Harris.

Dunedin should have Danny Jansen, Max Pentecost, Lourdes Gurriel, Ryan Borucki and Angel Perdomo.

Lansing has the most uncertain roster. Justin Maese, TJ Zeuch, Patrick Murphy and Zack Jackson should be there. JB Woodman, Vlad Guerrero and Joshua Palacios should join them. But in the middle infield there are three players for two spots. Cavan Biggio, Bo Bichette and Yeltsin Gudino could be there for two positions. Bryan Lizardo could also feature at third or elsewhere. There is a DH spot and players in low A don't play seven days a week so the lineup could be rotated to accommodate all of these players. That will be interesting to see.

We should know in the next 48 hours. Reggie Pruitt and Jose Espada are the two remaining top 30 players who I predict will stay in extended spring.
