It’s always a bummer when a prospect flames out, especially when they have the tools to really make an impact on the MLB level if they could ever put things together.
That was the case for Anthony Gose, a former outfielder that played in the Blue Jays’ minor league system from 2010-2014, also playing in 202 games at the big league level in Toronto. The speedy outfielder originally arrived in 2010 after being traded from the Philadelphia Phillies’ system. He wasn’t in the Roy Halladay trade that brought back Kyle Drabek, Michael Taylor, and Travis d’Arnaud, but after Taylor was later flipped for Wallace, and Wallace for Gose, the confusion began.
