ADAM LIND RUMORS & GOSSIP

Adam Lind Makes Sense for the Washington Nationals

Adam Lind makes sense for the Washington Nationals.  It is no secret that the Nationals need some help on offense, especially in the outfield.  Injuries have hit the Nationals hard with Mike Morse and Jayson Werth both going down for an extended time.  Morse is still trying to recover from a strained lat muscle he sustained in Spring Training but could be back as early as June...

Toronto Blue Jays Sweep Yankees, Adam Lind Goes To The Minors

Going into the mini-series against the Yankees, I thought that the Toronto Blue Jays would have rough go of it Thankfully, I was wrong.  The Blue Jays sure made up for that heart-breaking 4-3 loss against Tampa Bay on Tuesday by trouncing the New York Yankees 8-1 on Wednesday night. “This was a good offensive night for us,” said Blue Jay’s manager, John Farrell...

The Start Of Adam Lind’s Ending

Since the start of 2011, the Blue Jays are tied for 26th in WAR among first basemen. Yesterday, the team sought to do something to change that mark when they demoted Adam Lind to Triple-A. The most shocking thing about the demotion may be that it took so long. In 2009, Lind took the baseball world by storm, posting a .394 wOBA in his age 25 season. It wasn’t a season that was...

My Average Sank Like A Rock Because Of That Guy Lind

In the preseason, I said Adam Lind could contend for the MVP.  Wow.  It’s almost like Matthew Berry put that thought in my head.  In a litany of dopey things I’ve said, that might take the cake, frost it and smush it into my face.  The Berry feeds the Grey (bad advice), the Berry feeds the Grey (bad advice)… Hi-ho, the marry-o… What was I thinking?! ...

Toronto Blue Jays Demote Adam Lind; Yan Gomes Called Up

The other shoe has finally dropped for Adam Lind. After 2+ years of being the worst first baseman in the major leagues, the Toronto Blue Jays have announced today that they have demoted Lind to AAA Las Vegas, where he will have a chance to get things right. Despite Lind’s struggles at the plate, the move still comes as something of a surprise….okay, actually, it’...

The Adam Lind Conundrum

This isn’t going to be a post about if Adam Lind is actually terrible. If you’re operating under the assumption that the Toronto Blue Jays 1st baseman is still a good ball player, I think it’s fair to say that our opinions diverge from there. For the rest of us, though, Lind has been running on goodwill gained from his breakout ’09 season – and that...

Blue Jays 5, Athletics 2

Adam Lind hit a two-run homer after being demoted from the cleanup spot before the game, and J.P. Arencibia and Edwin Encarnacion each hit a solo drive to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Oakland Athletics 5-2 on Wednesday. Brandon Morrow (4-1) struck out a season-high 10 in six innings and won his fourth straight start, outpitching Tyson Ross in a matchup of former college stars...
