Throughout the month of January, Jays Journal will be counting down our list of the top-30 Toronto Blue Jays’ prospects as voted on — and debated — by our writers.
The ranking process this season has clearly highlighted that the Blue Jays’ system, as a whole, has improved drastically over the past 12 months and recovered nicely from the 2015 trades. Several prospects took steps forward from 2015 to 2016 on the field, but still saw their ranking fall slightly due to the rise of talent around them.
Coming in at number 30 on the list is Markham, Ontario’s Jordan Romano, a right-handed pitcher who has shown signs of dominance in the lower-minors but also underwent Tommy John surgery in 2015.
