Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Monday that Anthony Gose will not be an everyday player.
The talented 22-year-old outfielder was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday morning but isn't likely to hold much value in standard mixed fantasy leagues. Gibbons said Gose will "help out on defense" and as a pinch-runner. He will not make very many starts. May 20 - 10:40 AM

Blue Jays recalled OF Anthony Gose from Triple-A Buffalo.

Gose batted .223/.303/.319 in 189 plate appearances last season with Toronto. The 22-year-old has good speed and some raw power, but he is not a polished enough hitter at this point to make a big impact in the majors. He can be ignored in most mixed formats.

Blue Jays optioned OF Anthony Gose to Triple-A Buffalo.

Gose posted a promising .279/.396/.419 batting line across 54 plate appearances this spring in the Grapefruit League, but the Blue Jays want him getting regular playing time and that would not have been available to the 22-year-old outfielder at the major league level.
Mar 25 - 9:11 AM

Anthony Gose went 3-for-4 with a homer, two steals and four runs scored in the Blue Jays' 7-1 win over a Braves split-squad Friday.

Gose was rumored to be included in the R.A. Dickey trade, and had he been shipped to the Mets, he'd likely open the year as a starting center fielder. Since he's still in Toronto, he's destined for more Triple-A time initially. Last year's audition suggested he needed more seasoning anyway.
Mar 8 - 3:41 PM

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports Anthony Gose is not part of the trade talks for R.A. Dickey.

Gose had been rumored to be in the Jays' deal for Dickey, but there haven't been any confirmed players involved other than Travis d'Arnaud. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman speculates that the Mets could be targeting prospect right-hander Danny Barnes in a return package.

Anthony Gose hit his first major league homer as part of a five-RBI game against the Red Sox in the Blue Jays' 9-2 win Saturday.

Gose had a two-run single in the second and a three-run homer to put the game away in the ninth. Going into tonight, he had driven in a total of two runs in 31 games and 86 at-bats.

Blue Jays recalled OF Anthony Gose from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Gose struggled during his first stint in the big leagues, batting just .183 with 36 strikeouts in 82 at-bats, but he managed to swipe 10 bases in 12 attempts. We still think he needs more seasoning, but fantasy owners in need for stolen bases should pay attention.

Blue Jays optioned OF Anthony Gose to Triple-A Las Vegas.

It's the right move, especially now that Jose Bautista is back from the disabled list. Gose managed to steal 10 bases, but he looked overmatched during his first stint in the big leagues, batting just .183 with 36 strikeouts in 82 at-bats. He could be back up in September, but he's just not a finished product yet.

Anthony Gose went 0-for-4 with two more strikeouts Thursday, lowering his average to .183.

Gose has struck out a whopping 36 times in 82 at-bats. He has swiped 10 bases since his callup, but he's made it pretty obvious he's not ready to be a major league outfielder at this point of his career. Ideally, he'd still be in Triple-A.

Anthony Gose went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Athletics.

After a shaky start to his major league career, Gose is coming on a little. The 2008 second-round pick is now 6-for-20 (.300) over his last five games. He's also cut down on his troublesome strikeouts, recording only four in his last four games. If Gose can get on base, there's a ton of steals upside here.
Sun, Aug 5, 2012 07:45:00 PM

Anthony Gose singled and stole a base in Sunday's loss to the Tigers.

He also struck out twice, however, giving him 11 strikeouts through his first 26 MLB at-bats. Gose is a raw, high-ceilinged talent, but his .292/.375/.432 Pacific Coast League slash suggested he wasn't ready to make an impact in mixed leagues this season, and that's certainly been the case thus far. He's hitting .192/.250/.231 through eight games and 28 plate appearances.

Making his first start for the Blue Jays, Anthony Gose went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts from the leadoff spot in Wednesday's rain-shortened game.

The guess here is that Gose will strike out too frequently to be of help to the Jays in the leadoff spot for the moment. Still, the steal potential makes him worth trying in fantasy leagues.
Wed, Jul 18, 2012 05:12:00 PM

Anthony Gose will start in right field and bat leadoff Wednesday afternoon against the Yankees.

Gose didn't start Tuesday, but entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning and reached on a bunt single in the ninth. He should get regular starts in right field against right-handed pitching while Jose Bautista (wrist) is sidelined. His speed makes him worth a flier for anyone looking to catch up in the steals department.
Wed, Jul 18, 2012 10:01:00 AM

Anthony Gose reached on a bunt single Tuesday for the first hit of his major league career.

Gose entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning and grounded out to the shortstop before reaching base on his ninth-inning bunt. The 21-year-old prospect was hitting .292/.375/.432 with five homers and 29 steals in 92 games at Triple-A, and should make an immediate impact in fantasy leagues while Jose Bautista is sidelined. Gose is likely to get regular starts against right-handed pitching.
Tue, Jul 17, 2012 10:40:00 PM

Blue Jays purchased the contract of OF Anthony Gose from Triple-A Las Vegas.

He'll replace the injured Jose Bautista (wrist) on the active roster. Gose, 21, was hitting .292/.375/.432 with five home runs, 18 doubles, 10 triples, 41 RBI, 29 stolen bases and an .808 OPS in 92 games at the Triple-A level this year and is considered a plus-defender. The Jays aren't calling him up to sit on the bench, so he figures to play regularly against right-handed pitching at the very least. Strikeouts have been an issue at times, but the speedy outfielder should be owned in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues.
