2 Home Runs from EE to the opposite field in the same game! Good stuff.

Check out his numbers from last year's first month and then thereafter. Closer to option B.

He had an amazing start to last season, apparently injured his hand early on, had some nerve damage that needed to be repaired, didn't get the surgery (against his doctors advice) and ended up in AAA at the end of the season. Anyways he fixed his hand and seems to be swinging the bat well enough.

Nice to see Sanchez and Dickey 1 and 3 in AL leaders for walks.

Yup, we've all seen this play out before. The pitching for the most part has been god awful, not sure how AA thougt not addressing the pitching this offseason was a good idea.

This might be an all time record for me for earliest losing interest in a season.

I'll still watch and cheer, but I won't lose any sleep if I miss a game or three.

They are just very mediocre at the moment. I'm really disappointed with Bautista as the injury he's dealing with is impacting the team offensively and was caused by some sort of weird desire to one-up the Orioles by throwing Young (I think it was him) at first from the outfield. So unnecessary and selfish.

I dislike most of the team. Jose, Edwin.. its great that they hit homeruns, but they're not guys I want to be cheering for anymore.

I feel really bad for Josh Donaldson being brought to this mess of an organization.

I may actually get rid of my sports package as soon as the NHL playoffs are over as my interest in the Jays is basically non-existant right now. Last season really burned me and now this.














Watch them make the playoffs this year.. FML

The Jays would be better off dealing off guys like Bautista and EE amongst others for prospects and rebuilding a bit.

So 6 weeks into the season the outfield is Valencia, Pillar and Colabello.

How does AA still have a job?

Yes the shine has worn off AA long ago. He went all in with the big trades for Reyes, Buehrle, Johnson and Dickey and it has not worked out. Buehrle has been decent, however he is being paid 20 million dollars this season, which is hard to comprehend.

I know at this point I would rather have Syndergaard instead of Dickey and Marisnick instead of Reyes or Buehrle.

That outfield is a mess.

The whole team is a mess. AA and Gibbons need to be fired asap.

How about Alvarez or Hechevarria? Usually in prospect deals half the guys pan out to become players. These two deals are looking really bad because all the guys look like they will be decent players.

Those two deals are going to work out terribly in hindsight.
