Jays Bank on Young Pen in 2007

by @ Thursday, February 8th, 2007. Filed under 2007 Blue Jays

Jordan Bastian recently took a look at the Blue Jays bullpen and it’s somewhat encouraging. You have B.J Ryan at the top of the pack but after that, you have mostly homegrown talent. J.P Ricciardi discusses his bullpen philosphy when it comes to free agency (which I agree with) and I like Jason Frasor and […]

Blue Jays Sign Alex Rios, Reed Johnson and Scott Downs

by @ Friday, February 2nd, 2007. Filed under 2007 Blue Jays

Once again, the Jays won’t be heading to the arbitration table.  They settled with their three remaining cases and signed Alex Rios, Reed Johnson and Scott Downs all to one year deals.
Reed Johnson, who had a breakout year in 2006 with a .319 batting average and 86 runs, signed for $3.075 million.  It’ll be interesing […]

Blue Jays Sign Victor Zambrano

by @ Wednesday, January 31st, 2007. Filed under 2007 Blue Jays

Victor Zambrano’s claim to fame is that he was traded for Tampa Bay Devil Rays starter Scott Kazmir in one of the most boneheaded trades ever.  Now the Jays have him locked up to a minor league deal after the right hander missed most of 2006 because of a bad elbow. 
Zambrano has never had a […]

Alexis Rios Community Projection

by @ Tuesday, January 30th, 2007. Filed under 2007 Blue Jays

John Sickels recently asked people what they thought Alexis Rios would do in 2007.  The average of the community projections is up here and I could definitely live with this because it’s some solid production.  Hopefully we’ll really get to see what Rios can do with a full healthy season in 2007.

Hope for the Blue Jays?

by @ Saturday, January 27th, 2007. Filed under 2007 Blue Jays

If you take away the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, who have never made the playoffs in their brief existance, the Toronto Blue Jays are tied for the fifth longest playoff drought in all of baseball.  All but the Royals, Nationals (as the Expos), Pirates and Brewers have had longer droughts.  While it’s never going to […]

Blue Jays Add Minor League Affiliate in Gulf Coast League

by @ Wednesday, January 24th, 2007. Filed under 2007 Blue Jays

This isn’t a big surprise but after the Blue Jays pulled their minor league affiliate out of the Appalachian League, there was speculation as to whether they’d go with just five minor league affiliates.  Now they’ve announced that they’ll bring the number of affliates back up to six when they join the Gulf Coast League.  […]

Blue Jays Sign Tomo Okha to One Year Deal

by @ Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007. Filed under 2007 Blue Jays

The Blue Jays shored up their rotation by signing right handed starter Tomo Okha to a one year deal for $1.5 million.  Okha has been around but his last really good year was back in 2002 with the Expos.  He was solid in 2005 but 2006 didn’t quite go as well and he missed a […]

Alex Rios and Reed Johnson Trade Rumors

by @ Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007. Filed under 2007 Blue Jays

The latest Inside Dish at Yahoo brings us some news that both Alex Rios and Reed Johnson could go on the block if they win their arbitration case.  Both had breakout seasons last year and with the way the market is working, both are due for a big raise.  And if the Jays can’t settle […]
