That is the combined score of the games last night (not in the Jays' affiliates' favour), as they combined to go an opposite of perfect 0-5. Fresno 10 at Las Vegas 4When your bullpen pitches 5 shutout innings, that's a good sign. But it's also a bad sign, because it means your starter only managed 4 innings, and in this case they were 4 pretty terrible innings: Randy Boone allowed all 10 runs on 9 hits and 2 walks. Jason Lane did his best to lead the 51s on a comeback with 2 solo home runs, but they fell, um, a little short.

MILB Prospect Profile: Outfielder Travis Snider—Toronto Blue Jays

When the Toronto Blue Jays selected Travis Snider in 2007, it marked a significant change in the drafting philosophy held by current General Manager J.P. Riccardi.   In previous drafts Riccardi would focus on safe college players with less upside whose path to the majors would be relatively short, but with Snider Riccardi opted with not only the best high cchool bat in the draft...

Time for the Jays to Jump on J.J. Hardy
