The Blue Jays are experimenting with having Brett Lawrie play second base at Class 'A' Dunedin. If all goes well, Lawrie will move from third to second with the Jays and Jose Bautista will play third. As Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 writes, many players have changed positions, either out of career neccessity or to help their teams. ...more
No one expected the Houston Astros to be contenders in their first year in the American League. Fourth or fifth place in the American League West would have been a pretty safe bet. But if the first week of the season is any indication, the Astros could be in for an historically bad season. Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 Toronto explains. ...more
One of the Blue Jays best off-season moves was cutting a new Triple 'A' affiliate agreement, leaving Las Vegas and relocating to Buffalo. Not only does that make player call-ups easier and less time consuming, it gives Blue Jays fans the chance to cross the border and see how some of the top prospects are doing firsthand.

The Major League season doesn't even start for a couple of more days. So its really too early to get worked up about a possible player defection, but this one could really hurt the Blue Jays down the road. Josh Johnson had the best camp of any of the Blue Jays starting pitchers, though R.A Dickey being away at the World Baseball Classic, and then pitching in mainly minor league games after that was a mitigating factor. ...more
Late last week, a veteran left hander soon to turn 28-years-old was sent down to the minors. He was coming off shoulder surgery and hadn't regained the velocity he used to have. Another 28-year-old southpaw in Toronto is trying to avoid a similar fate. ...more
It's almost become a cliché in baseball to say a team has to get off to a quick start. Conversely, if you don't you're supposed to be behind the proverbial 8-ball. It's interesting to look back at what a quick start meant to certain teams and if it's a factor at all. TSN Radio 1050's Scott Ferguson has more. ...more
As things stand right now with the regular season two weeks away, it's interesting to see that the Blue Jays and Red Sox both have a 22-year-old centre fielder as their top prospect. Not only that; both teams appear to be heading in different directions in terms on their development. TSN Radio 1050's Scott Ferguson has more. ...more
It seems these days for every prognosticator who thinks the Blue Jays will win the American League East, you find two who think they won't. At first I found this surprising, since I believe the club brought in one of the greatest arrays of talent from outside the organization that we're ever seen from any team.

Any baseball purist who loves the game wants to see it played on natural grass. The Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays are the only two teams in the Majors now playing on artificial turf and it's pretty clear there won't be natural grass at Rogers Centre anytime soon.

In their entire illustrious history, the New York Yankees have only finished in the basement twice. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how the AL East will play out this season and at this point in spring training, the only thing I'm convinced of is the mighty Yankees will finish last. Yes, in fifth place. TSN Radio 1050's Scott Ferguson has more. ...more
