Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen - It's been a long time!
Spring training has arrived and some very interesting developments have already occurred in Jays land.
Our million dollar man Vernon Wells has hurt his hamstring again. I think it's pretty safe the say that the good Verno's days in CF are numbered. Wells has lost a little step out there (but he is still great mind you), so Rios should be taking over. Add in the fact that Vernon hits more like a corner outfielder then Alex does. However we all know that won't happen quite yet.
Matt Clement is apparently pitching with no pain, while our good friend Mike Morath is determined to pitch through leg ailments all season. Scotty Downs experienced a set back, while Aaron Hill seems to have fully recovered for concussion like symptoms.
Through 9 Spring Training games the Jays are a respectable 5-4, and as we speak are ahead of the Yankees 5-2 moving into the bottom of the 7th.
Some players who have been performing well at the dish so far include; Russ Adams, Jose Bautista, Brad Emaus, Jason Lane, Scott Rolen (good sign!!), Kevin Millar, and Travis Snider (good sign!!).
In other news - Canada lost a heart-breaker to the USA in their first game of the World Baseball Classic 6-5. The Toronto crowd was amazing. I have heard nothing but good things from people who attended the game. This makes me both proud and a little annoyed. Proud for obvious reasons, but a little annoyed because - where are these fans for Jays games!!
Anyways - I am looking forward to opening day. It should be an interesting season in Jays land.
