The middle 10 of our top 30 prospects have a lot of players who have been in the system for a few years and whose prospect status is now on the bubble. Six of them have reached AA and four have reached Vancouver so their time to put up or show up is now.

Welcome to the Blue Jays top 30 list for another year. There has been a lot of turnover from last year to this year's list. There are just 12 players who are repeating on the list. Seven players were traded, Gabriel Moreno, Gunnar Hoglund, Kevin Smith, Zach Logue, Jordan Groshans, Samad Taylor and Josh Palacios. That means eleven players were dropped. That is a lot of poor performances. Hope remains for many of those who have been dropped, they just need to find something in their game, just like Davis Schneider did this year. Speaking of Davis Schneider.....

Buffalo ended its 2022 season on a losing note.

Buffalo won big in its penultimate game of 2022.

The Jays have said recently that Nate Pearson needs to pitch multiple innings before being considered for a call-up. He did that on Saturday but it didn't go well. He came into the game in the seventh inning with one out. He walked the lead off hitter who promptly stole second base. Pearson then spotted the runner looking to third and picked him off. He then got the third out.

Buffalo lost 5-2 with Adrian Hernandez giving up four runs. Hernandez gave up four runs while only getting one out. Hernandez had a 9.00 ERA in September before this game.

Buffalo started their last week of the season with as nice win. Addison Barger hit two home runs, his first two in AAA, and drove in four runs.

Sorry! Another late MLU. Just one game and it was not a good one. It could have been two games if Dunedin had forced the Florida State League final to a third and deciding game but that did not happen.

Buffalo won. Dunedin did not.

Dunedin played the first game of the FSL final and they had a one run lead with two outs in the ninth inning. But St Lucie hit a two run home run and won 6-5. Dunedin have played four post season games and they have a 2-2 record. Both losses were late innings bullpen blow ups. Mitch White didn't do much for his confidence, Buffalo lost. New Hampshire won a tight game by scoring the only run. It was the final game of their season.

After losing in extra innings in game two, Dunedin had to win game three, and win it they did. It was a 3-1 win. Dunedin had good pitching and timely hitting but were helped by Fort Myers. On to the final tomorrow where they will play St Lucie. New Hampshire won while Buffalo lost.

Vancouver lost their playoff game in extra innings and their season is over. Dunedin did not get a chance to clinch their playoff series. They will try again on Saturday. New Hampshire won while Buffalo lost.

Dunedin were leading 5-2 in the eighth inning and were six outs away from reaching the final of the FSL playoffs. But Ryan Jennings and Ian Churchill combined to concede five and the Jays were down 7-5 with three outs remaining. 7-5 was the final score setting up the winner take all game tomorrow night. Elsewhere Buffalo won while New Hampshire lost. Vancouver get their playoffs going again on Friday and they have to win to stay alive.

Here's Wednesday's late minor league recap. Buffalo and New Hampshire won.

Buffalo and New Hampshire won. Vancouver is on the brink of elimination. Dunedin won its first playoff game.
