Your 2009 Blue Jays

Found October 06, 2009 on Batter's Box:
PLAYERS: Travis Snider,  Lyle Overbay,  Alex Rios,  Vernon Wells,  Rod Barajas,  Randy Ruiz,  Adam Lind,  Roy Halladay,  Brandon League,  Ricky Romero
TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays,  Chicago White Sox

So how did everybody do in the last 121 games? Let's have a look. Players are sorted, as always when it's up to me, by Runs Created per 27 outs:    AB   R    H   TB 2B  3B  HR RBI  BB  SO  SB CS  SH SF HBP GDP BAVG  OBP  SLG  RC  RC/27                                                                                    Ruiz    11...

This Guy Is Playing Golf Right Now: Adam Lind

Via Walkoff Walk  |  October 06, 2009
As the playoffs and award season gets underway, we want to take a gander at some players who had outstanding seasons in 2009 but whose teams ended up just shy of making the postseason and who will (most likely) not pick up any fancy trophies. Quite a consolation prize: a round of golf and a write-up on a low circulation sports blog. Next up, Adam Lind, as written by yours truly...
