The Lansing Lugnuts season came to an end on Monday night with a 14-5 loss against the West Michigan Whitecaps. It eliminated the Lugnuts from the playoffs. Part of the reason they were able to play in the post season has to do with the play of prospect Anthony Alford. Thanks to all of the mid-summer trades and a strong season, Alford sits in the 3rd spot on MLB Pipeline‘s list of Blue Jays’ prospects.
Alford just completed his first full season of professional ball and all signs are encouraging. After committing to baseball full time, the organization sent him to play in Australia to get some regular at bats.
