Continuing our tour of AAA baseball, let's check in with the Toronto Blue Jays' top farm club. The Syracuse Chiefs' interesting players:
Adam Lind is a 24-year-old left-handed hitting OF/DH. He's hitting .289/.333/.495 in 97 AB at AAA, after hitting just .230 with Toronto. Last year he hit .330/.394/.556 combined between AA and AAA. He hits LHP fairly well and mashes RHP.
Jeremy Cummings is a 30-year-old right-handed starting pitcher. Syracuse picked him up after he exercised a contract clause to be released by the Twins's AAA club at Rochester (The Twins called up 7 pitchers ahead of Cummings). He has a 3.80 ERA in 87.2 innings. 72 SO and only 21 BB. He's a fly-ball pitcher and has allowed 11 homers. He pitched well with Scranton last season -- 3.97 ERA in 25 starts. It would've been smarter to sign with a team like the Nationals that is hurting for starting pitchers than the Blue Jays.
They have several more of those older non-prospect pitchers. This isn't a talented team.
