Jays Jots 12/06: Brett Cecil, Yunel Escobar, Dustin McGowan, Alomar

With the Winter Meetings set to begin later on this morning, here are a few interesting links to get you by until the real news starts coming in:

Bleacher Report provides some extra information on Blue Jays left-hander Brett Cecil.

Talking Chop offers an interesting 2010 comparison between current Jays SS Yunel Escobar and the man that was traded for him, Alex Gonzalez.

Thankfully Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos did not pull a J.P. Ricciardi and non-tender an injured starter (some guy named Chris Carpenter in 2002) when the Jays re-signed right-hander Dustin McGowan to a one-year, $450,000 contract.

If you haven’t heard it already, definitely listen to Friday’s Alex Anthopoulos interview on the Fan 590, where he talks about ludicrousness of reporters falsely identifying the Blue Jays as a team that is interested in virtually every player available.

Courtesy of Batter’s Box, take a look at a few pictures of the Jays’ top prospects when they were at the Rogers Centre during the Jays’ final homestand of 2010.

Last but not least, take a trip back in time to watch one of the best Blue Jays commercials ever:
