Tiger Takashi Toritani to Toronto?
I probably could have come up with a better title than that, but goddamn I love alliteration. As most Toronto Blue Jay fans are aware, there’s been quite a bit of speculation over the last week or so that Alex Anthopoulos may be broadening his horizons to fill the Jays troublesome second base position by looking […]
Pitching The Vancouver Canadians Hotstove Luncheon
Wednesday, the Vancouver Canadians announced the lineup for their upcoming annual hot stove luncheon. One of the highlights of what has to be one of the worst months of the year. The luncheon raises money for Challenger Baseball, the UBC varsity program as well as the Canadians own baseball league while allowing fans to interact […]
The Forgotten Man: Where Does Dwight Smith Jr. Play?
2014 was a funny year for Toronto Blue Jays prospects. With so many names ballooning through the system at unprecedented, given the Jays somewhat conservative history, rates, some names, despite pretty nice seasons were somewhat forgotten. A prime example of that is 2011 supplemental round (53rd overall) pick and 2012 Vancouver Canadian Dwight Smith Jr. […]
Holy Smoak! The Blue Jays Are Busy

Today Greg and I are joined by our first two-time guest: Ewan Ross Ewan is, of […]
YourVanCs “Weekly” – Episode 14
Alex Anthopoulos has kept us Blue Jay bloggers pretty busy of late, something I write a bit about here, almost overshadowing the fact that it’s currently prospect season! Something I probably look forward to more than Christmas. Sad, I know. Yesterday saw the excellent Baseball Prospectus scouting team drop their Blue Jays top 10 list. […]
Blue Jays Trade Canadian’s MVP Franklin Barreto
The Toronto Blue Jays pulled off a massive trade on Friday. One that included three of their farmhands, including the best outfield player I’ve seen in Vancouver, Franklin Barreto. It’s funny, I’ve been having some twitter banter recently with some regular correspondents. Comments such as ‘procrastinator’ have been used to describe my inability to get […]
