Top 10 Blue Jays prospects

1. RHP Aaron Sanchez (20) -- Lean and mean, Sanchez has developed into a strikeout machine by improving his command.

2. LHP Sean Nolin (23) -- Big Hoss. Strikeout-to-walk has been tremendous for the 6-foot-6, 240-pounder.

3. RHP Marcus Stroman (21) -- Misses bats. Big-league arm and big-league closer of the future. Banned 50 games last season.

4. RHP Roberto Osuna (18) -- Machine-like delivery and lively arm. Baseball comes out of his hand like a bolt of lightning.

5. LHP Dan Norris (19) -- Power arm with a great feel for pitches. Can spin it. Mound presence a plus.

6. RHP John Stilson (22) -- Lively fastball and disruptive delivery. Arms and legs are flying everywhere. Future big-league reliever.

7. OF D.J. Davis (19) -- A game-changer with great speed and range. Love the hands and compact swing. He'll hit.

8. LHP Matt Smoral (18) -- Southpaw with long stride and great extension from 6-foot-8 frame. Actual velocity: good. Perceived velocity: great.

9 . C Antonio "A.J." Jimenez (22) -- Cracked the top 10 in April 2012 after a strong start with Fisher Cats. Now returning from Tommy John surgery.

10. OF Anthony Alford (18) -- Intriguing player with plus-tools. Watch out now that he's focusing on baseball and not college football.
