The Jays are one of many clubs that are starting to pay more attention to talents coming out of the great white North. And who can blame them when the likes of Joey Votto – who just landed a $39 million extensionafter taking off like a rocket in 2010. If they can grab some of that talent a little earlier than has been the case, maybe they can land the next great Canuck! Since the Jays have seemingly increased their chase for Canadian talent, drafting a few guys in 2010 and chasing both Brett Lawrie and Russell Martin, I thought it would be important to keep close tabs on what Canadians are out there to be had. It’s obvious that the Jays are now focused on finding the next Canadian gem and to make headway in getting Canadians all over to think of the Jays as Canada’s team.
