Toronto Blue Jays Minor League Baseball Commentary and Analysis

The PCL isn’t kind of pitchers but the guys in the Jay’s farm system had a pretty good year considering the circumstances. Here were the best of the pitching staff in 2011.
Brad Mills – Mills led the team with 157 1/3 innings and he had 11 wins, 136 strikeouts, and he was tied for the team lead with 24 starts. Mills did give up 20 home runs and his fly ball rate isn’t great and this may have been why he struggled with the Jays in limited time. He also gave up a lot of hits considering his strikeout rate.
Sean Henn – One of the better relievers on the team, Henn struck out 61 in 61 1/3 innings. Henn is 30 so he’s well past having a prospect label but he finished with a 2.79 ERA and pretty good ground ball rate. He didn’t see the big leagues but this is the guy you like having down in the minors because he makes for a solid reliever in the event of an injury.
Danny Farquhar – The 51s closer, Farquhar led the team with 15 saves. Farquhar had an odd season. He had a batting average against of .300 but he didn’t give up many home runs and he kept the ball down so the damage was limited. His 4.70 ERA was also high. He didn’t get into many big league games, but he struggled when he did.
