Jays Jots 12/17: John Farrell, Kyle Drabek, Jose Canseco

Here are some Jays links to keep you busy this morning, but be sure to check back throughout the day as I’ll be unveiling the #47 prospect on our Top 50 Blue Jays Prospect List!

• Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com has a great article on John Farrell and his familiarity with the tough American League East
• Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun also has an article on John Farrell, where he talks to Tom Holliday, father of Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday, who has known Farrell for many years
• Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star has an interesting article concerning Alex Anthopoulos’ trade strategies
• Speaking of Griffin, his latest mailbag entry is worth a read, where he answers questions submitted by Jays fans on a variety of topics
• Former, and hopefully returning, Blue Jay Dirk Hayhurst offers a tribute to Bob Feller
• Minor League Baseball looks at the Blue Jays’ organizational All-Stars like Kyle Drabek and J.P. Arencibia, but there are a few that are no longer with the team!
• Drew over at Ghostrunner on First offers a great, in depth look at the WAR (wins above replacement) statistic for pitchers and position players
• On an entertaining note, 46-year-old former Blue Jay Jose Canseco is trying to make a comeback to the Majors, and Mop Up Duty has a look at it
