The Farm Takes an 0-Fer

Found August 17, 2009 on Batter's Box:
PLAYERS: Fabio Castro,  Kevin Howard,  Howie Clark,  Buck Coats
TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays,  New York Yankees

The Jays' affiliates need help! Too bad they won't be getting it from three of their top 4 picks, as James Paxton, Jake Eliopolous, and Jake Barrett failed to sign on draft deadline day. Albuquerque 4 at Las Vegas 3Fabio Castro pitched well, allowing 2 runs in 7 innings. Unfortunately, the bullpen couldn't hold Albuquerque at bay, and the 51s lost a squeaker, 4-3. Kevin Howard singled, homered and walked, while Angel Sanchez, Howie Clark and Buck Coats each reached base twice.New Hampshire - scheduled day offBrevard County 8 at Dunedin 3Starter Vincent Bongiovanni had a rough outing, allowing 7 earned runs on 8 baserunners over 4 innings, and the D-Jays could never recover. Matt Liuzza did his best, with 2 singles and 2 RBIs, but his teammates didn't help much; Dunedin didn't have a single extra-base hit on the night (though they did manage 6 hits and 6 walks). The bullpen was pretty good: though they allowed 10 base-runners in 5 innings, that only led to 1 run.G...

A New Method to the Madness

If someone tells you J.P. Ricciardi "completely ****** up the 2009 draft," as happened to me yesterday, please smack your friend upside his or her head, regardless of his or her - clearly - limited mental capacity.Sea change. That's probably the best way to describe the 2009 draft for the Toronto Blue Jays. Yes, they failed to land the autographs of three of their first...

Brandon League and Jesse Carlson: Mr. Inconsistency and Captain Facepalm

Via Bleacher Report  |  August 17, 2009
They're the faces we've seen all too often this season; the patented Jesse Carlson facepalm and the Brandon League look of disbelief. The struggles of both of these young hurlers have been well documented this season and were evident once again in the Toronto Blue Jays' 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.Once integral parts of the best bullpen in baseball (in 2008), Carlson...

Trust But Verifiy: What To Believe In Toronto?

Via Bleacher Report  |  August 18, 2009
Well, this has certainly been a fascinating couple of days. I can't remember when I've seen as much outrage among Jays fans online as I have over the failure to sign three of the Jays' top four draft picks yesterday. It's pretty striking in isolation. After all, the Jays were clearly not cheaping out overall—they went FAR over slot on three other players. In...

After squandering their lead in the American League Wild- Card race over the weekend, the Red Sox hope to get back on track quickly. Sending Josh Beckett to the hill and getting Kevin Youkilis back in the lineup should go a long way in helping.
