]]> We included polls in December articles on Prince Fielder, Joel Hanrahan, and Carlos Beltran, so here’s a look at the interesting results. One of them produced the most lopsided results in the history of our site, while the other two were quite close.

There’s also a new poll up on our main page about whether or not the Jays should go after Matt Garza, so feel free to chime in on that one and have your say.

]]> One by one this offseason, free-agent closer options have disappeared for the Blue Jays, as only Ryan Madson, Frank Francisco, and two other Franciscos — Cordero and Rodriguez — remain on the open market.
