#27 Travis d\u2019Arnaud<\/p>\n

Toronto Blue Jays<\/p>\n

DOB: 2\/10\/1989<\/p>\n

Previous Rank: N\/R<\/p>\n

ETA: 2013<\/p>\n

d\u2019Arnaud earned MVP honors in the Eastern League in 2011 as a 22-year-old, and seems destined to produce big numbers for Toronto sooner rather than later.\u00a0 As a key portion of the package that sent Roy Halladay<\/a><\/strong> to the Phils, the expectations have been high for d\u2019Arnaud.\u00a0 He delivered and then some in Double-A, and should open the year ready to torch Triple-A to the same tune that he did the Eastern League, with a call-up to the Jays possible at any time.<\/p>\n

However, with J.P. Arencibia<\/a><\/strong> seemingly firmly entrenched behind the Toronto dish, d\u2019Arnaud may have to wait until September or even 2013 to arrive at the Rogers Centre.\u00a0 In 2011 for New Hampshire the former 37th<\/sup>-overall selection slashed .311\/.371\/.542 with 21 dingers.\u00a0 He only walked 33 times, and plate discipline is his worst offensive tool, but he squares the ball up consistently and generates quality lift.\u00a0 He covers the zone well and hits to all fields, so the lack of walks is less of a concern than it might be with other more pull-oriented hitters.<\/p>\n

He is likely going to top out as an average receiver and thrower, and is a 40-45 in both areas now, but his bat is so good that no one will have any problem dealing with that in Toronto.\u00a0 Despite the fact that the Doc deal also brought the Jays Kyle Drabek<\/a><\/strong> and Michael Taylor<\/a><\/strong> (who was immediately traded to the A\u2019s and debuted in the Show in 2011), d\u2019Arnaud is looking like the best piece that Toronto got in the trade.<\/p>\n
