There was a very interesting signing made by the Chicago Cubs earlier this week when they came to terms with Anthony Rizzo on a seven-year deal worth $41 million. Should the Blue Jays be offering Brett Lawrie the same kind of contract? Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 offers his thoughts. ...more
The Blue Jays showed some definite signs of life over the weekend, taking two out of three over Boston to cap a tough seven game road trip against the Bosox and Tampa Bay. However, six weeks into the season, the Jays still find themselves third from the bottom in the American League at 15-24 and with the 27th best record in the Majors. ...more
The most horrifying sight in baseball is to see a batter get hit in the head with a pitch or a pitcher get struck in the head by a line drive. As Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 writes, the man responsible for introducing batting helmets was the same man who brought Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947; Branch Rickey. ...more
Yes we've all heard the cries that John Gibbons should be fired because of the Blue Jays horrible start. Somewhere down the road it could happen, maybe even before this season is over. But, as Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 writes, it won't be right now. ...more
I can't quite bring myself to say the Blue Jays season is over, but it's darn close. They're nine games under .500, have a losing record at home and trail first place Boston by 10 and-a-half games in a season that's not quite five weeks old. ...more
One bad month doesn't necessarily make or break a season. In the Blue Jays case though, with one game remaining in April, one miserable (9-17) month is pushing them right to the brink. Consider this. John Gibbons' crew heading into Monday's action is nine-and-a-half games out of first place in the A.L. East and six-and-a-half back of Baltimore for the second Wild Card spot. ...more
Watching Blue Jays Maicer Izturis and Emilio Bonifacio struggle this season drives home the point of how few good second basemen there are in the Majors. In fact, Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 can count only two in the American League; Robinson Cano and Dustin Pedroia. ...more
It appears that Vernon Wells will be a polarizing individual in Toronto for the rest of his Major League days. Over the weekend at Rogers Centre, Wells was the best player on the diamond for the Yankees as they won two out of the three games played in the series. ...more
While Blue Jays fans and the media alike have been tripping over each other reaching for the panic button over the Blue Jays' 7-9 start, the real meat and potatoes part of their schedule actually starts when the Yankees hit town this weekend. From that point through May 26, the Jays play 30 out of 35 games against their own division, including the next 13 in a row. Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 Toronto has more. ...more
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
