Jose Bautista Lands On Cover Of MLB 12: The Show

Via Rant Sports  |  January 30, 2012
Somebody over at SCEA (presumbly a Blue Jays fan) clearly recognized the mistake they initially made when Adrian Gonzalez was selected as the cover athlete for Sony’s upcoming MLB 12: The Show; while it’s probably a little too late to change things for everyone, the company have at done their part to make good to Canadian baseball fans who also happen to game. Jose...

Player Profile #93: Brett Lawrie | 3B | TOR

Via Baseball Professor  |  February 02, 2012
Brett Lawrie gained some fans during his 15 minutes (or 43 games) of fame last season. Over a full season (let’s say 150 games) his 2011 totals would have looked something like this: 91 runs, .293 BA, 31 homers, 87 RBI, 24 SB. Because I know you’re wondering, that line would have ranked 20th overall last season. Yes, those numbers are correct. Of course, it’s way...

Montero or Lawrie?

Via Fangraphs  |  January 31, 2012
Jeff Blair of the Toronto Globe and Mail had an interesting note in his column today, noting that there’s speculation in Toronto that the Mariners offered Michael Pineda to the Blue Jays in exchange for Brett Lawrie. They passed, and as we all know, the Mariners shipped Pineda to New York for Jesus Montero instead. So, this brings up an interesting question – who is the...

Would Mariners have tried to land Brett Lawrie instead of Jesus Montero? You betcha

Via Seattle Times  |  January 31, 2012
Interesting report out of Toronto from old buddy Jeff Blair, who I used to work with all the way back in Montreal days in the early 1990s. Blair is pretty plugged in when it comes to the Blue Jays and their ownership, so I believe him when he says that the Mariners first tried to trade Michael Pineda to Toronto for third baseman Brett Lawrie. The Blue Jays are said to have declined...
