The Revenge Of Adam Lind?
Here’s the thing: Adam Lind has been hitting like a star since being recalled to the Toronto Blue Jays about a month ago, posting .319/.372/.569 triple slash with 5 homers in 72 at-bats. Even though it’s a small sample size, that’s pretty good. One might even say it’s Adam Lind circa-2009 good. So, is he [...]
TweetJon Morosi: Toronto Blue Jays Still Looking For Starting Pitching
After pulling off a 10-player depth trade last week, Toronto Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos told the press that while there’s “no expectation” that the team would have to make another move, the team would pursue trades to make improvements to the ball club in the same way they would at any other time during [...]
TweetBrandon Morrow On Return Path To Toronto Blue Jays After Setback
It’s been rough at spots, but after this weekend’s sweep of the Boston Red Sox (putting them right back at the AL East basement), the Toronto Blue Jays probably have some optimism to spare, still just 3 games back of the 2nd wild card near the end of July despite the loss of Jose Baustista [...]
TweetJP Arencibia Tees Off Again; Toronto Blue Jays On A Roll
By most accounts, JP Arencibia hasn’t really had a great year for the Toronto Blue Jays. The catcher set a team-record for home runs by a catcher with 23 in his rookie season, and a repeat of those power numbers is pretty likely this year. The problem, as it were, is that he’d been a [...]
TweetToronto Blue Jays Acquire J.A. Happ In 10-Player Deal With Houston Astros
You wanted the Toronto Blue Jays to make a move to get pitching? Alex Anthopoulos has you covered. It’s just not the guy that was on the radar at all, as usual. The ninja-like GM of the bluebirds completed a eye-popping (in number, anyway) 10-player deal with the Houston Astros today, with the transaction breaking down [...]
TweetUh-oh, Part 2: Brett Lawrie Exits Toronto Blue Jays / New York Yankees Game With Calf Injury
Still don’t think the baseball gods have a thing against the 2012 Toronto Blue Jays? Even after losing 3/5ths of the starting rotation to injuries in a span of 4 days, having Luis Perez‘s elbow fall apart, and losing Jose Bautista to the DL to a wrist injury on a swing? Well, here’s one more [...]
TweetAnthony Gose Recalled To Join Toronto Blue Jays; Jose Bautista To DL
…and that means bad news for that other Toronto Blue Jays right fielder: .@BlueJays have placed @JoeyBats19 on the 15-day DL with left wrist inflammation and have selected the contract of outfielder Anthony Gose — Blue Jays-Official(@BlueJays) July 17, 2012 Well then. If you think “inflammation” is still somewhat vague when it comes to Jose [...]
TweetUh-oh: Jose Bautista Leaves Toronto Blue Jays/New York Yankees Game With Wrist Injury
Update: Well, here’s the first bit of news on Jose Bautista’s injury…sounds a little vague, but nothing breaking is a good thing, I’m guessing? Bautista has no break. Tendon issue. MRi tomorrow — Shi Davidi (@ShiDavidi) July 17, 2012 Time to hold your breath, everyone, this is a doozy. As if the Toronto Blue [...]
TweetCarlos Villanueva Spins Another Gem For The Toronto Blue Jays
What’s this, positivity about the Toronto Blue Jays starting pitching? About damn time. With all of the injuries that have hit the team’s pitching staff this season, there’s at least one bit of good news emerging from the mess: Carlos Villanueva‘s newest transition from reliever to starter. Forced into the rotation from a lack of [...]
TweetSergio Santos’ Season With Toronto Blue Jays Ends With Shoulder Surgery
Sergio Santos has pitched just 5 innings for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2012 since being acquired from the Chicago White Sox in the off-season. He won’t throw another until sometime in 2013. The 29-year old, who was anointed as the Blue Jays’ closer before the season began, has opted to go ahead with surgery [...]
