Sat, Nov 29 | Bluebird Banter
One line in Jeff Blair's column interested me: The guess here is that hasn't changed. The 2009 Blue Jays won't likely be better than a fourth-place team and god help them if McGowan or Janssen has a setback or other guys regress to the mean.

Jays Owner Ted Rogers Dies
Rogers built a huge communication empire and in 2000 bought the Jays for $112 million US. In 2004 he bought Skydome and renamed it Rogers Centre. Rogers was willing to spend money on the Jays allowing the payroll to climb not that it paid off in playoff appearances, but after Interbrew's chea...

BLUE JAYS 14, YANKEES 3; Needing Win, Yanks Fall to Halladay
The Yankees used five pitchers Thursday, and the only one from the opening day roster was Billy Traber, who gave up seven hits while getting seven outs. With every game important as the team's playoff hopes fade, the procession of stopgaps was startling. Losing to Roy Halladay -- the best pi...

The Dangling Conversation: Ongoing Blue Jays Offseason Conversation
This goes hand in hand with his decision to go into the season with two 40 year olds in important offensive positions with only one back up plan (Lind) in case their bats should slow. Add in his wonderful choice of Shannon Stewart over Reed Johnson and his not having a better back up for a Scott...

Top 50 All-Time Greatest Jays: #43 John Cerutti
In 1986 John appeared in 34 and made 20 starts. The Jays had a really good starting staff that year with Jimmy Key, John Clancy, Dave Stieb and Doyle Alexander, but the Jays traded Doyle to the Braves for Duane Ward in the middle of the season, opening a starting spot for Cerutti. John had a 9 and 4...

Opinion: Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost: Jays Top 30 Prospects, #20-11:
12. Robert Ray – RHP, DOB 1/1984, 6’4", 185 lbs: Robert Ray had a great 2008 season, split between high-A Dunedin and AA New Hampshire (where he posted a 3.18 ERA over 16 starts).

Griffin To Jays : Why Can’t You Be More Like The Twins?
On the same Wednesday morning T.J. Simers makes the bold proclamation the Dodgers’ Ned Coletti is baseball’s best general manager (you’ll get no argument from Andruw Jones’ agent), the Star’s Richard Griffin compares the visiting Twins to the host Blue Jays. The supposed secret to Minnes...

Most Disappointing Team In The Majors?
Ricciardi can use the injury defense all he wants, but there was a time when the Jays had Reed Johnson, Shannon Stewart and Adam Lind ready to play left field every day and somehow Brad Wilkerson had to be picked out from behind the counter at Subway to become a regular player for this team.

Why The Blue Jays Should Sign Barry Bonds
From a purely baseball standpoint, the move would be genius. He still swings a great bat and would be dangerous enough in the middle of the lineup to let Vernon Wells and Alex Rios see some pitches to hit. He gets on base at an unbelievable clip and bats left handed, something that only 2 other re...
