Kevin Goldstein released his Top 101 prospects today. Five Blue Jays on the list, though that's no surprise since he had five 5- and 4-Star prospects on his Jays list.

16. Travis d'Arnaud (5 Stars)
28. Jake Marisnick (5 Stars)
54. Daniel Norris (4 Stars)
68. Anthony Gose (4 Stars)
93. Noah Syndergaard (4 Stars)

Prior to the Steroid Era, 500 home runs was considered the milestone a slugger could reach to ensure that one day he would be immortalized in the Baseball Hall of Fame. From 1936 to 2003, all 15 eligible sluggers who hit 500 or more home runs were voted into the Hall of Fame. In addition, from 1939 to 2001, nine sluggers who finished their careers with 407 to 493 home runs appeared on the Hall of Fame ballot, seven of those nine were elected to the Hall of Fame, with five--Lou Gehrig, Stan Musial, Willie Stargell, Carl Yastrzemski, and Dave Winfield--gaining election in their first year on the ballot and the other two--Billy Williams and Duke Snider--being voted in on their sixth and eleventh ballot, respectively. It was clear that a slugger who reached the 400 home run milestone had almost as good a chance of being elected to the Hall of Fame as a slugger who reached 500. However, like everything else, the Steroid Era has complicated Hall of Fame voting. Since 2002, six sluggers who hit between 431 to 493 home runs have appeared on the Hall of Fame ballot but only two of those six, Andre Dawson and Cal Ripken Jr., have been voted in. Two others, Jose Canseco and Juan Gonzalez, fell off the ballot after failing to collect 5% of the vote, while Jeff Bagwell and Fred McGriff remain on the ballot but are currently on the outside looking in.

Tentative Deal struck for Eastern League Team as soon as 2013... Jays affiliate?

"The governance rules of the Eastern League preclude the acknowledgment of a specific franchise and potential Major League affiliation until approvals for the relocation and designation have been sought and secured."

If anyone has some new ideas of how this could work or if you have any ideas of how to improve Rogers Centre Nee: Skydome in general please comment below.

Le Grand Orange highlights this years induction class in St. Mary's, Ontario. Former Major League pitcher Rheal Cormier, Brewers GM Doug Melvin, and the 2011 Canada Men's team who won Gold at the Pan-Am Games in Mexico. Staub was a great player in Montreal, he was the face of the franchise when playing for the Expos in the early 1970's. He was traded from Detroit back to Montreal in summer of 1979, a puzzling move since he had been DHing for Detroit and really didn't have a spot on the 1979 Expos team who were battling Pittsburgh for the division title. Regardless, he was welcomed back with open arms and he is remembered as one of the greatest Expos of all time. Looks like a good induction class.
