Charles, taken by Toronto in the 20th round of the 2010 draft, has been working on his consistency this year. http://bluejays.scout.com/2/1187948.html 2047 Tessa Inners http://bluejays.scout.com/2/1187948.html Sun, 20 May 2012 03:15:00 GMT 1 325 Toronto bluejays Continuing our comparisons between the Blue Jays and Red Sox farm systems, we take a look at the crop of first base prospects in each system.

He is a left-handed first baseman with natural power in his swing, and has the look of a middle-of-the-lineup guy if his game progresses in the direction the organization hopes for. It comes as no surprise to learn that Charles admires the play of Phillies’ slugger Ryan Howard, a major leaguer whose talent he aspires to one day himself possess. http://bluejays.scout.com/2/1117356.html 2047 Daniel Feingold http://bluejays.scout.com/2/1117356.html Fri, 14 Oct 2011 03:49:00 GMT 1 325 Toronto bluejays After a hot start in the Appalachian League, Art Charles cooled off in the middle of the season.
