What or who did Francisco Cordero eat?

Found March 06, 2012 on The Victory Formation:
PLAYERS: Francisco Cordero
TEAMS: Toronto Blue Jays,  Cincinnati Reds,  Detroit Tigers
Cincinnati_reds_vs_b2bb

This was Francisco Cordero one year ago while pitching for the Cincinnati Reds

Okay, so not exactly the body of an Adonis, but not exactly fat and out of shape. Well, here is what Cordero looks like right now with the Toronto Blue Jays

Not sure what would freak me out more about this picture if I was a Blue Jays fan. That bird eyes staring into my soul, or my set-up and possible closer looking like the Detroit Tigers new heavy hitting first baseman.

AL East Match-ups: Toronto v. Tampa Bay

Via The Southpaw  |  March 05, 2012
Noted in passing that Jesse Litsch is on the shelf for at least six weeks after a fluke setback to his recent course of treatment. the nerd in me notes that if the jays needed to manage his return in the most roster friendly way while they waited for a potential major league opening, it wouldn't take much to juggle it so that they don't have to have him in Vegas long enough...

The BP First Take: Wednesday, March 7 by Daniel Rathman

Via Baseball Prospectus  |  March 07, 2012
In two-plus years as the general manager of the Blue Jays, Alex Anthopoulos has shown a penchant for buying low on other teams’ undervalued players. He did it with Yunel Escobar, who delivered a 3.7 WARP season last year. He did it with Brett Lawrie, who emerged as one of baseball’s top prospects, and then batted a remarkable .293/.373/.580 in 171 plate appearances in 2011...

Red Sox 3, Blue Jays 3

Via AP on Fox  |  March 07, 2012
Toronto shortstop Omar Vizquel's throwing error gave Boston two runs and helped the Red Sox tie a split squad of Toronto Blue Jays 3-all Wednesday in a game halted after nine innings.

Ben Francisco reunited with Phillies

Via Philly Sports Live  |  March 06, 2012
The Phillies traded Francisco to the Toronto Blue Jays on Dec. 12 for Minor League left-hander Frank Gailey. They essentially made the move because they had no spot for Francisco at his salary. He made $1.175 million last season, and as the Phillies move closer and closer to the $178 million luxury tax threshold, it made little sense to keep him with Shane Victorino in center field...

The Toronto Blue Jays

Via The Sports Headquarters  |  March 06, 2012
As TSHQ continues our 2012 Major League preview, we find ourselves north of the border. Since the early 1990′s, the Toronto Blue Jays have been a perennial third or fourth place team in the daunting AL East. This reflects less on their talent and more on the division in which they play. The Blue Jays have seen plenty of talent on their field. Whether it be Joe Carter, Roy Halladay...

Red Sox Minor Leaguer Pete Ruiz Does Tim Kurkjian Impression, Following in J.P. Arencibia's Footsteps (Video)

We've seen Tebowing. We've seen Bradying. Could we be in store for Kurkjianing? We're certainly on the fast track, as we now have our second major Tim Kurkjian impression video in a matter of days. Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia's recent impression was pretty amusing, but Red Sox minor leaguer Pete Ruiz' best Kurkjian is spot-on. Ruiz delivered his Kurkjian...
