Every internet Jays fan fantasy came true last night as the next Canadian legend Brett Lawrie made his Toronto Blue Jays debut vs. the O's in Baltimore. Further to that Jays fans caught many shots of his sister; which has seemed to create quite the stir on a number of forums around the world....
Lawrie had a very good game at the dish going 2 for 4 with an RBI, but looked awful in the field; booting two plays that the average softball player makes on a regular basis. All in all it was pretty cool seeing what could be a big part of our future finally hitting the field. Let's also keep in mind that this makes our superstar Jose Bautista a little more happy because he gets to go back to rightfield; and it might even make Edwin happy because there now might be a worse defender on the team than him.
This brings us to what was once our great next hope; Travis Snider.
Snider was once again sent to the minors. It could be the wrong or right decision to do this. That's up to you to decide. For me as long as he has options left it's not a big a deal.
Frankly; he's been pretty awful all season long in both the majors and the minors. His swing looks terrible, he isn't generating any power, he doesn't take walks, he has average speed and has played average D. Not really the right mix for the next best thing as he was once touted as. Hopefully this guy can figure it out somehow - he has players like Thames to compete with now. If he is going to remain a Jay he has to improve fast.
