Nice to see Kay and Woods Richardson ranked that high.

Here's one on Pearson:

If Pearson arrives some time this year and Ryu pitches well, that could be a very strong top 2.

I'll gladly criticize Shapiro for this decision. Yuck:

Jays have signed Joe Panik to a minor league deal.

BA released their new top 100.

Pearson 7
Groshans 29
Woods Richardson 61

With Woods Richardson ranked there and Kay appearing to be in the mix for a rotation spot this season, the return on Stroman is looking good.
