The Blue Jays named Kevin Gregg as their new closer. I think this is a nice move for the Blue Jays.

AL East – Blue Jays in First After Week 1

After the first week of the season it’s not the Yankees, Red Sox, or Rays that are in first place within the American League East. The Toronto Blue Jays have started off on the right foot going 5-2 with some great offensive production. Vernon Wells added another home run (2-run shot) in the Jays loss [...]

Blue Jays Re-Sign Lind

The Toronto Blue Jays signed designated hitter Adam Lind to a four-year $18 million deal last week. The deal also includes a club-option for the years 2014-2016. I think this a good move for the Blue Jays. Lind put up a line of. 305/. 370/. 562 for 2009. That was good for a 3.7 WAR. [...]

What to Watch For – AL East Early Division Showdowns

It’s still the first week of the season, and you know what that means; Division Showdowns. The Yankees will square off tonight at 7:10 PM Eastern against the Tampa Bay Rays. It will be the return of Javier Vasquez to pinstripes against David Price in a battle of fourth starters. In all honesty, these two [...]

Vernon Wells – Three Games, Four Dingers

Well wouldn’t you know it, Vernon Wells may finally be paying off some of that huge contract. Wells has hit four home-runs and seven RBI’s in three games for Toronto already this season. He only hit 15 home-runs and 66 RBI’s last season and is on pace to absolutely crush that number this year. The [...]

Blue Jays Make an Under the Radar Signing

The Blue Jays hired sabermetrics expert Tom Tango as a consultant. I think this is a good move for the Blue Jays. This move should make them more competitive in the AL’s toughest division.

2010 Offseason Review: AL East

AL East Baltimore Orioles Key losses- Chris Ray, Danys Baez Key additions- Kevin Millwood, Garrett Atkins, Mike Gonzalez Off-season grade- C+ Justification- Kevin Millwood provides some leadership for the Orioles young staff. He’s also very durable and that should keep the young staff from pitching too many innings. Garrett Atkins is a nice low risk/high [...]

Toronto Blue Jays Top Ten Prospects 2010

1) Kyle Drabek-SP I think he’ll be in the rotation this year as a young stud. Rookie of the year potential? Yes please. 2) Zach Stewart-SP Another outstanding young arm to help the rebuilding process. Very similar to Drabek in terms of stuff. 3) Brett Wallace-3B/1B Traded twice has to hurt the ego a bit, [...]

Roy Halladay is finally on his way to Philly, and Toronto likely [...]

Holliday Season in New York?

Matt Holliday is arguably the top free agent in this year’s class. He is arguably the best left fielder in the game so he would be an upgrade wherever he goes. He has posted an OPS over .900 for four straight seasons and plays excellent defense on top of it. Unfortunately for most, he’s going [...]
