Frank Thomas numbers when the strike hit in 1994:

.353 AVG, .487 OBP, .729 SLG, 1.217 OPS
38 HR, 106 R, 101 RBI

There were some historic offensive seasons taken away that year that guys like Griffey Albert Belle and Juan Gonzalez were also heading towards

Lotta people doubted Tito and the Tribe. I don't know what they'll do in the postseason, but they're a lock to get in and to win the division, imo. Too much talent on that team.

Every new starter they throw out there is giving them quality starts. Plesac's been really solid since they brought him up. Now this Civale guy came out of nowhere and is pitching great.

10+ back to back at the top.

Got a revitalized lineup at the trade deadline....Kluber coming back, Kipnis and Slamtana cooking...

Glad it looks like they’re finally gonna have an international draft next year so the Dodgers and Yankees can’t sign the top guys every fukkin year.

I love the core of the Jay’s. Does anyone know if they have some top rated pitching prospects coming up?

No, not really. Nate Pearson is the closest/best one. They're going to need to spend to build a staff the compliment the young position players.

edit: I see everyone else answered already. For potential impact guys after pearson you're Pardinho, Woods-Richardson, Romano, Yennys Diaz and they are all a ways off.
