Lawrie’s up to 5 errors in nine games as of last night. Let’s see… that would top 65 errors in 120 games, if he doesn’t deteriorate further.

He’s only played 7.5% of his games, but he has 20% of the 25 errors he suffered at AA Huntsville last year. Do I hear DH being mentioned for the Brett Boy? He’s hitting like blazes, but he flaming out when it comes to fielding.

I know what you’re saying, but I just don’t see it. We all know that Ricky Romero, Brandon Morrow, and Brett Cecil are going to remain in the rotation long term. We also know that Henderson Alvarez, Asher Wojciechoski, and Deck McGuire will arrive within the next year or so. There is only space for 5 pitchers in the rotation….

Then we have to consider the closing role. Francisco? Will be gone. Rauch? hasn’t looked good so far. Dotel? ….maybe, but he doesn’t really make people feel like he’s the guy. Therefore, in my humblest of opinions, he is best suited as a closer.

Dude, is English your second language? That was an awful post.

Zach Stewart had too good of a year last year as a starter for them to give up the experiment that quickly. Two starts is far too small a sample to pull the plug

Thank you for updating minor league information.

I expect Hutchison, he also threw a good pitch in the spring training. His fastball is moving and it seems difficult to hit.

Wojciechowski and McGuire had a good start, it is nice for Jays’ future. I expect they will be call up from big league at the end of the season or next year’s opening day roster.

Lawrie’s batting is pretty much, but I concerned his defence. He has alredy four errors.

Loving the prospect updates.

Im not too worried about Hech yet, its only been 10 games. Hes already had a nice game recently going 3-4 a few days ago. Last year he started slow, so i expect him to pick it up.

Im a really big believer in McDade, i really think he can be a monster in AA. HE will rack up the Ks but the power is undeniable.

Im still not sold on Cooper, he might put up great numbers this year in AAA, but Vegas is a hitters park, i hope he plays welel enough to turn himself into a trade chip.

Finally Hutchinson was a sleeper coming into the year, the Jays are high on him, i think he’s ready for a breakout season.
