Who needs Sammy John's "Chevy van"?

Joey Bats, Walking the Parrot, and Donaldson 3-4-5

hard to argue with that

Not a believer in Sanchez as a starter yet, have to believe Estrada gets a chance if he falters

Pillar keeps playing well, will the job go back to Saunders?

Will Navarro be the DH most of the year?

Will Reyes get to 140 games played? Only twice since 2008

8 man bullpen again and no bench? *sigh*

<-Fear Ameer

Nice catch by Pillar

O'Day has now given up 4 HR's to Bautista

I'm guessing thats why he's pitching the way he is right now. Late change in camp to the mechanics wasnt smart but may be better in the long run. I know Rosenthal or Law had a problem with the new mechanics (short stride) because that could cause more stress on the elbow and an early tommy john surgery. *knocks on wood*

Navarro / Smoak / Edwin are good at DH where Smoak / Edwin will rotate at 1st. You will probably see Joey Bats and Reyes get time at DH for rest on the turf. Thats where Pillar, Pompey and Saunders will come into play. But for the days where its gonna either be Pillar or Saunders you just gotta consider splits and who is hot. But Pillar is playing great so far and so is Pompey. I always thought Pompey fit better in the 2nd spot with Russel 6th. It's really a great hitting line up.

Travis seems to be the real deal so far. I'm loving what this kid is doing.

With as many rookies as we have, we have to be prepared for some of them to struggle, and with it being so early and having only 1 guy struggle?!?!...thats amazing. If Sanchez doesnt work out I think Osuna deserves a shot. He's a better as a starter. Sanchez and Castro for the 8th and 9th would be amazing. Castro as a closer is best because it wont hurt him as a starter for next year.

Don't forget we have Hoffman who is pitching so well during rehab he may get to Toronto a lot earlier if the bullpen is a problem. Maybe even if he is needed as a starter. Johan too *crosses fingers*. *crosses fingers again* for Stroman to be used in the playoffs.

starting pitching has been hideous, the Red Sox are about the only team that can complain more

not much of a chance R.A. and Mark will be back

Sanchez has a couple of recent encouraging outings

Travis has slowed down, then again he was 1980 George Brett for part of April and that isn't sustainable, still a nice surprise

Castro and Norris are both in AAA, guess the post didn't do them any favors

get Reyes back, probably have the best lineup in all of baseball


just think what this team could do with average pitching? doesn't even have to be elite? *sigh*

if you can't win a game where you're up 5 runs or more...

Yes, I'm mad. Let's move on.

Are you ready to say this offense is better than the early 90's championship years? Even without Pat Borders....

If this team gets even solid, not spectacular starting pitching the rest of the way (trade?).....should be in the hunt in a wide open AL East with only Boston not in the mix right now

I agree. They have the opposite problem of the Cleveland Baseball Team.

Jays got ALL the bats

dammit, I wish we could have had this when Roy was still here

although if the rumor of Chapman and Cueto* being shopped is true, that would solve a lot of issues

*assuming the medical examination checks out
