ERIC THAMES RUMORS & GOSSIP

Toronto Blue Jays LF Eric Thames Demoted To Minors

And the roster moves just keep on coming for the Toronto Blue Jays. After 2 months of well-below average fielding in left, and a disastrous month of May at the plate, Eric Thames was sent down to AAA Las Vegas today, where he’ll presumably try to get a confidence boost a-la-Adam Lind in the hitter-friendly environs of the PCL. The numbers aren’t pretty up in the big leagues...

The Toronto Blue Jays Shouldn’t Make Eric Thames A Scapegoat For Their Struggles In Baltimore

The Toronto Blue Jays just got swept by the Baltimore Orioles. It’s truly embarrassing, as despite being the superior team the Jays found new and exciting ways to lose each of the three games against the Orioles. It’s early, but already fans are looking for a scapegoat. And unfortunately, some have picked the wrong one in Eric Thames. It’s no secret that I’...

Thomas belts first homer of season

Toronto Blue Jays LF Eric Thames made his first homer of the season a long one in the third inning of Tuesday's 2-1 loss at Baltimore, a blast to right that landed on Eutaw St., against RHP Tommy Hunter. It was the 34th time a visiting player to Camden Yards had hit a ball there. It was Thames' third extra-base hit of the season and his first home run since Sept. 22 ...

Hit Me Eric One More Thames

Last year, the Buy/Sell brought you such brilliant ideas as “Grady Sizemore is gonna bounce back big time!” and “I don’t believe a concussion can knock a player out for a full year… Can I get a Morneau?!”  Buy/Sell, “You know, I don’t point all of your crappy suggestions… Vernon Wells as a sleeper?  2003 called and said it wants...

Battle Over: Eric Thames Claim Blue Jays LF Job; Snider Demoted

Can’t really say we didn’t see this coming a few weeks ago, yes? The competition that was the 2012 Blue Jays Battle For The Left (Field) ended today, with Eric Thames emerging as the winner, and Travis Snider demoted to AAA again. For his part, Snider seemed to take the news well enough (well, at least he did on Twitter). That it was an uphill battle for the 24-year old...

Should Snider And Thames Be Competing?

Travis Snider has been locked in a battle with Eric Thames for the final roster spot in the Jays’ outfield, but I don’t think this makes any sense. Not because I think Snider should be handed a job, or that Thames is terrible or anything. No, the reason is that I’m not sure why Ben Francisco has a guaranteed job with Toronto. Now, don’t get me wrong, I know that Snider...
