JTP: Tough Errors & Jays Prospect Sean Keys

Yeah, and Bieber, by the way, hadn't come back yet, like you said, and it cost Cal Stephen, who is a back-end top 100 prospect in the latest Fangraphs top 100.

JTP: Tough Errors & Jays Prospect Sean Keys

He's ranked 91st, having a nice start to his season at AA in the Cleveland organization.

JTP: Tough Errors & Jays Prospect Sean Keys

But yeah, we'll see how that one plays out in time.

JTP: Tough Errors & Jays Prospect Sean Keys

Elsewhere on this Miami Marlins team, you declared victory on Xavier Edwards and Liam Hicks, two of...

JTP: Tough Errors & Jays Prospect Sean Keys

Your guys, you went two for three in that class.

Caleb Durbin is, you know, not quite.

Blue Jays Talk
JTP: Tough Errors & Jays Prospect Sean Keys

But look, the Jays audience probably has a handle on who Liam Hicks is because he's a local guy, a Rule 5 success story from last year.
