Today's POTD features the game played on Roberto Alomar Hall of Fame Day at the Dome. Colby Rasmus takes a first inning pitch that Rangers catcher Taylor Teagarden tries to snare......but it glances off his glove. No one was on base at the time and Rasmus would eventually strike out to go 0-for-13 as a Blue Jays. However, things would get better for the former Cardinal on this day.It was only fitting that Edwin Encarnacion, the last Blue Jay to wear #12, hits a home run on Robbie Alomar Day.Encarnacion's 9th homer of the year scored a Jose Bautista walk to put the Jays in front, 2-0.Eric Thames bumps fists with Bautista after Encarnacion's dinger.Aaron Hill, who got aboard on an infield single in the fourth inning, looks behind him after advancing to second base on a John McDonald ground out to third. Former Vancouver Canadian Omar Quintanilla covers the bag for Texas.Hill gets on his horse as he heads for home on a J.P. Arencibia single. Texas starter C.J. Wilson wo...

Blue Jays Draft Pick Responds to Critics

Via Hall of Very Good  |  January 10, 2012
It was Shaquille O'Neal who, in a 1999 Sports Illustrated article, said "when you watch MTV, you can tell all the musicians want to be athletes, and when you watch ESPN, you can tell all the athletes want to rap."Well, MTV rarely shows anyone actually performing music anymore and, outside of wanting to fight Jose Canseco, Shaq has precious little to do with a baseball...

Kelly Johnson, 2012 Fantasy Outlook

Via Razzball  |  January 11, 2012
I, Albert Lang, have been a Kelly Johnson fan, for no real reason, for some time now. I seem to be the only one. ESPN has him in the 200s, and his ADP is at 253. Certainly his 2011 (.222/.304/.413) did nothing to engender him to fantasy players, but I think this just makes him a steal for 2012. Kelly Johnson has what is known as a reverse platoon split. Basically, lefty batters tend...

Scouting Blue Jays Prospect #43: Brad Glenn

Via bluejays.scout.com  |  January 11, 2012
The Toronto Blue Jays selected outfielder Brad Glenn in the 23rd round of the 2009 MLB Draft out of the University of Arizona. Known for possessing great power, he not only put that to the test in the pitching-friendly Florida State league in 2011 but passed it with flying colors by leading the league in home runs.

Via Batter's Box  |  January 13, 2012
Jays left fielder Eric Thames is part of the team's Winter Tour that is sweeping through Eastern Canada this week to spread the Blue Jays gospel. He had a few interesting things to say during an interview on TSN 1050 in Toronto Thursday afternoon. Eric Thames batted .262./.313/.456 with 12 home runs, 24 doubles, five triples and 37 RBI over 95 games with Toronto in 2011.On Cybulski...

Toronto depending on Cecil, Rasmus

Via mlb.com  |  January 13, 2012
The 2011 season is likely one that Colby Rasmus and Brett Cecil would like to forget. They can go a long way toward keeping last year in the past by displaying in 2012 the progress that the Blue Jays expect of each.
